 * Symbol possible vote.svg In my opinion, it's not such a interesting fact. Actually it's a form of the phrase that is used quite often in sports in order to show respect for a player.  Alex discussion ★ 02:16, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Um, why the DYKno? We use that to mean "this nomination is hopeless unless you make a big change", e.g. a page that's way too short.  Have you found problems aside from the hook?  If so, please explain them; if not, please switch to the DYK?no template to demonstrate that you've not found other problems.  You don't need to do a complete review in order to use the DYKno template; it simply says that you've found at least one problem.  Nyttend (talk) 04:23, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
