  • Comment: I know this is a bit unorthodox, but I had quite a few ideas for DYK and a hard time narrowing it down. So to make it a little fun, I decided to make a Strawpoll for voting - I hope that’s okay. If I'm forced to decide however, I'd go with either ALT1 or ALT2. Also, the image is just in case the “Guile-kun” one gets chosen. My only regret is that I didn’t get this to GA Status in time for Etika’s article to appear on the main page on his birthday - May 12, but I’ve come to terms with it. #joyconboyzforever
