Hooks[change source]

NOTE: When possible, it is good to have a balance of subjects covered by the hooks. Thanks.

From a collection of Wikipedia's articles:

Hélène Carrère d'Encausse in 2013

  • ... that even though she was the first woman as the head of the Académie Française, Hélène Carrère d'Encausse (pictured) insisted on using the male form of her title?
  • ... that the Great Barrier Reef, located in Australia, is the world's largest coral reef system and can even be seen from outer space?
  • ... that glam rock musician Marc Bolan, who never learned how to drive a car because of a fear of dying young, died in a car crash at aged 29?
  • ... that the first known dinosaurs were bipedal predators that were one to two metres long?
  • ... that Wikipedia started in early 2001 as a "feeder" website to Nupedia?
  • ... that because of the way they treat women, the infant mortality in Afghanistan has gone up since the Taliban took power in 2021?
