 * what do you think about this hook? (It's April Fool-ish.)
 * ALT1: ... that Sleeping Beauty, led by Melitta Marxer and other feminists, fought for the right to vote in Liechtenstein? Yoninah (talk) 22:09, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
 * That works for April Fools Day for sure ;), I loved the play on words of their organization. SusunW (talk) 22:32, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Great. I think it will get a lot of hits for our feminist. I'm moving this nomination to the April Fools page. Yoninah (talk) 22:43, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment: personally I don't find this to be as confusing as other April Fool's DYK hooks. "Sleeping Beauty" can simply be a name of an organization. sst✈  03:01, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Propose ALT2: ... that Sleeping Beauty was led by Melitta Marxer and other feminists in Liechtenstein? sst✈  14:06, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
 * if it's that obvious, we can move it back to the main nominations page. The ALT2 hook doesn't make sense to me grammatically. Yoninah (talk) 19:01, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
 * It's meant to be confusing. sst✈  01:26, 20 March 2016 (UTC)


 * ALT3: ... that Melitta Marxer and Sleeping Beauty won women the right to vote in Liechtenstein? Gatoclass (talk) 15:52, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Gatoclass. You're definitely the king of April Fools hooks! Yoninah (talk) 15:55, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
