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

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.

Checking the article isn't awful
before we publish it on social is also pretty trivial, thankfully.

Yes.... Yes it has....
BUT DYK that Gibraltar <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibraltar> was
ceded to Britain "in perpetuity" under the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713?
