This sums it up pretty well, for those on the list without the benefit of context. Sigh. :-)

Michael, Andrew, and I also discussed setting up a page where Wikipedians of all languages could come and propose social posts for us that link to articles they've written. I figured that we could adopt the DYK/TIL format for that.

Heh, fair point there was a lot of context missing there ;) 

For the record I'm all in favor, and I was doing a cheap joke for the entertainment of those who knew the history :) 

The worst problems are usually something that we will have on our radar, these articles are not hard to quickly review, and the community IS actually very good at reviewing these. When there are DYKs we're not interested in sharing there is no issue skipping them, there are 24 a day :) it's not like we're going to run out.

Okay, fair point. In fairness I think something like that's unlikely to happen in the future :P

(For context for those unaware, he's talking about this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibraltarpedia ... think this may have been pre-Katherine :) )

Yes.... Yes it has....

BUT DYK that Gibraltar was ceded to Britain "in perpetuity" under the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713?
