Garo Paylan

... that Garo Paylan (pictured) was one of the first ethnic Armenians to serve as a member of the Turkish parliament in decades?

ALT1:... that Garo Paylan (pictured) was involved in several physical fights as a member of the Turkish parliament?
ALT2:... that Garo Paylan (pictured) has been involved in two physical fights as a member of the Turkish parliament?

Comment: Let me know which hook you like better. I kinda like ALT1 more. Feel free to provide an ALT.

@EtienneDolet:The article was created on May 2 and nominated May 4 so it is new enough. It is long enough at 2637 characters. The article is neutral in tone and well sourced with inline citations. I found no close paraphrasing or copyvio issues. Both hooks are well formatted and short enough, accurate, and cited inline in the article, neutral and don't focus unduly on negative aspects. However, I think the first hook is better, more interesting and positive in tone. As for ALT1: I only count two fights mentioned in the article, doesn't "several" imply more than that? My Collins dictionary defines several as "more than a few". You could say he's been involved in two fights... what about ALT2 above? And the image is from Commons, with appropriate license.

HazelAB I struck out ALT1. I'm fine with ALT2. But which hook is better in your opinion? Étienne Dolet (talk) 00:23, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

EtienneDolet In my opinion the original hook, about his being one of the first Armenian members, is better. HazelAB (talk) 00:54, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

All criteria met, and both hooks are accurate, appropriately cited, etc. HazelAB (talk) 01:08, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

@EtienneDolet: the image has been removed from Commons as it was in violation of copyright - sorry I didn't catch that infraction when I reviewed the nomination. So the hooks have to be revised to remove (pictured) and the link to the image deleted. HazelAB (talk) 13:26, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

HazelAB That's really strange. It shouldn't have been deleted. Let me look into this and I'll keep you posted. Étienne Dolet (talk) 00:17, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

EtienneDolet The image has been restored on Commons, so if you want to put it back in the nomination I'll restore the tick. HazelAB (talk) 13:21, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

HazelAB Yeah but it's nominated for deletion: [1]. I uploaded another photograph of him so I may just use that. Étienne Dolet (talk) 18:44, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

HazelAB Alright, I added a new picture of him. Étienne Dolet (talk) 18:52, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

Restoring the tick. The new picture is from Commons and has the appropriate license. It is a bit busy but shows up reasonably well at this size. Ready to go now. HazelAB (talk) 19:35, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
