• ... that even though Minnesota had the most local governments of any U.S. state in 1952, it declined to eighth place by 2012? Source: "Minnesota ranks first among the States in number of local governments, with 9,025 as of June 30, 1952", "Minnesota ranks eighth among the states in number of local governments with 3,672 active as of June 30, 2012."
  • ALT1:... that Minnesota went from having more than 9,000 local government entities in 1952 to having fewer than 4,000 in 2012? Source: Ditto

• Article is new enough, long enough and contains appropriate inline citations. Earwig's shows no copyvio. GreatLakesShips (talk) 09:31, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

• Please review WP:CURRENTLY. "is currently" is redundant, and "current" and "currently" are indeterminate and may not age well. Kablammo (talk) 14:31, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

• hookinterest = n; do we have an explanation for this evolution? --Orange Mike | Talk 17:41, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
  • Either hook is far from the most boring in DYK history, but I think ALT1 is a bit more interesting. I don't know off the top of my head why it happened, but it might be due to school districts.  – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 18:32, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
