سانچہ:Did you know/Queue/3

Next update

NOTE: Since on average about 50% of hooks on the suggestions page are U.S. related, it is usually appropriate to have roughly half the hooks in any given update on U.S. topics. Thanks.

NOTE: We are trying to flip the hooks every four hours or so to get rid of the backlog! Thanks.
