To all those people who said we should let our hair down, that April Fools wouldn't really be so bad (it was), that it wouldn't encourage vandalism wasn't too much (it did), that people would do be restrained about it (they weren't), that it would be over by mid-day (it wasn't), and that people wouldn't revert war over something so lame (they did), I just thought I'd mention that the arbcom recieved a request today from someone blocked for excessively reverting [[2005 Britannica takeover of Wikimedia]] (yes, the hoax article)
So thank you very much, to all those of you who pushed this idiotic idea, from those of us who actually have to pick up the pieces.

To clarify I put in the request arbitration and I carried out the block. The problem is not directly related to april the first (although it is a contributing factor) but to silly articles in general.

Withdraw your silly RFAR. Just think of April 1 as Halloween for people who aren't into all that superstitious stuff.
