- Comment: I would be interested in any other hook ideas. Trying to balance interest with not being overly morbid.

- This is just a comment but considering Dili is East Timor's capital, it would probably be a good idea to mention this in all of the hooks. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 13:39, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

Article was expanded by 5x (more than that, actually) and meets all requirements. Hooks are cited and interesting. ALT0, ALT1/ALT1b and ALT3 are the most interesting of the bunch so I'm approving those four. I proposed ALT1b to take into account Narutolovehinata5's comment.
