Article is new enough and long enough, but the hook content is not currently supported by the article OR its sources. The "Curfew" section of the article states that curfew was first declared at 11:00 pm (not 8:00 pm) and was the first since the Harlem riot of 1943, but the only provided source (a New York Times article) does not confirm either that time or that claim. If you can correct the hook/article info and back it up with a good source, I'll finish reviewing other criteria for this DYK hook. Alanna the Brave (talk) 00:48, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

Aha. Sourcing got mixed up somewhere. I added a couple to support this. Here's an ALT1 below. It was an 11pm curfew initially, then the next day was changed to 8pm. I don't actually know that the main hook is problematic in this regard. They did implement a curfew which was the first since the Harlem riot of 1943, and that curfew was 8pm for most of the time it was in effect. Not opposed to promoting this alt1 though. Thanks. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 01:12, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
ALT1: ... that amid the George Floyd protests, New York City implemented a nighttime curfew, its first since the Harlem riot of 1943?

Thanks Rhododendrites -- I'll go with your ALT1 (I know the curfew timing seems minor, but I think the alt is just more accurate). Okay: article is long enough, new enough, neutral and appropriately sourced (Earwig shows a couple of close matches, but that's due to quoted material, which is all properly cited as such). Hook is short enough, interesting, and backed up by sources within article. Image seems appropriate and is free of copyright issues -- I've shortened the long caption, since I don't think the exact location of the New York crowd is vital to this hook/article. QPQ review is complete. Good to go! Alanna the Brave (talk) 15:25, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

Wouldn't it be cleaner to just say ... that amid the George Floyd protests, New York City implemented its first nighttime curfew since the Harlem riot of 1943? {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 04:08, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
