Created by Mhhossein (talk). Self-nominated at 19:05, 22 February 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/1978 Tabriz protests; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• Interesting article, new enough, long enough, within policy. Hook is also with policy. @Mhhossein: please could you bring a page number for the hook citation, and ideally a short quote to allow direct verification? You might also consider expanding the quote to point out the tragic irony of so many protestor deaths at event to protest deaths at a previous protest.

  • Thanks for the review Onceinawhile. You can find the the hook at page 168 where it says "...14 persons were killed and 125 suffered bullet injuries." The hook says "at least" since the number of the dead are higher in other sources as mentioned in the main article. I liked your suggestion for expanding the hook; what about this one?

Alt1:... that at least 14 people were killed during the 1978 Tabriz protests which had meant to commemorate the dead in the 1978 Qom protests?

Excellent thank you. FYI I added the word "had" into your ALT1 to make it perfect. Onceinawhile (talk) 07:31, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
