... that Esat Uras, a major perpetrator of the Armenian Genocide, later wrote "the ur-text of Turkish denialist 'scholarship'"? Source: Nearly coinciding with the publication of Thomas’s work was what, in many ways, stands as the ur-text of Turkish denialist “scholarship”: Esat Uras’s Tarihte Ermeniler ve Ermeni Meselesi. Uras, born Ahmed Essad, was an important figure in the CUP administration and was heavily involved in the planning and execution of the Armenian Genocide as a high official in the “directorate for public security.” 10.3138/gsi.9.1.04

The article was created on 31 December and nominated on 2 January. It has about prose 2,500 characters. It is sourced densely with inline citations, is phrased neutrally and shows not trace of copyvio. The hook is of the correct length. It presents an interesting fact and, in spite of this being a difficult topic, abides by out standard of not being unduly negative. The hook fact is backed up by an inline citation, whose content I accept in good faith. QPQ is confirmed. I'm not sure everybody will understand what is meant by the "ur-" prefix, but I think explaining too much would compromise the hooks's desired brevity. All in all, good to go.
