- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Transgender history in Finland
- Comment: I am open to ideas about more interesting hook; ALT1 is a bit more interesting than dry-facts of main hook I guess?

Overall: 
@Piotrus: Good article but the hooks are pretty bland. Alt1 could work but it's a strong could. Do you have any other hook ideas. Onegreatjoke (talk) 21:36, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
- @Onegreatjoke: Sadly, nothing "non-bland" comes to mind (that... won award(s) XYZ... maybe adding the term ethnic cleansing or such to ALT1 would help? See ALT1a below. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:14, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

that could work. Approving to see more people's opinions. Onegreatjoke (talk) 17:53, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
- @Onegreatjoke and Piotrus: I wanted to promote ALT1a but it is 214 characters and must be less than 200. Lightburst (talk) 17:35, 20 May 2023 (UTC) @Onegreatjoke and Piotrus: Lightburst (talk) 17:36, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
- ALT1b: ... that the 2003 book The Reconstruction of Nations describes how "national reconciliation is possible after even the most terrible conflicts", including ethnic cleansing?
- I removed "on the history of Central and Eastern Europe" so that the hook can comply. If you feel that information is needed for the hook please post on DYK Talk. I will promote the 183 character version of your hook. Lightburst (talk) 21:42, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
