  • ... that a former member of ISIS who was arrested in 2016 and released in 2017 attacked a police and army patrol in Tripoli killing four people on June 3, 2019? "Lebanon attack: Gunman kills four security personnel in Tripoli". bbc.com. BBC News. 4 June 2019. Retrieved 5 June 2019.
  • Comment: I hope accept my new DYK, I worked a lot for creating article
  • Copy edited your ALTs and you should note that ALT1 and ALT2 are too long. -- Thats Just Great (talk) 02:47, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
  • Forest90, look at the copy edits I made to make sure the footnotes are in the proper numerical order. Please do the others as well. I'll get back to this tomorrow; for now I'm leaning toward the very first hook; simple is best. Drmies (talk) 02:19, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
  • I can already tell you that we are not going to run with that image--that's just a picture of a busy highway. Drmies (talk) 02:20, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
  • Forest90, I see now that the picture isn't even in the article. You can have it in the article, but I'm just saying that the DYK folks are not going to give up the cherished picture slot for this. But the bigger thing is the article, which needs the work that I indicated. Drmies (talk) 15:55, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
  • This has been waiting for a while, so I'll do a review. I have just edited the article a bit, especially the Reactions section. Forest90, when you use quotation marks " ", the words inside them have to be exactly as they are written in the source. If you want to say it a different way, then you don't need quotation marks. I have replaced some of the words inside quotation marks with exact quotes from the sources, and changed others to indirect quotes (saying it a different way, and not as the person being quoted). Now I'll look at the requirements for DYK. Regards, RebeccaGreen (talk) 11:43, 4 September 2019 (UTC)


General: Article is new enough and long enough

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation

Image eligibility:

QPQ: None required.

Overall: I think that ALT0 will be interesting to many people, as it involves the issue of people released from prison carrying out further attacks. I have left ALT3 as well - the fact that it was on Eid Al-Fitr added to its impact.

I have corrected the date of the incident in the article and ALT0 - many sources are dated 4 June, but all say that it was on Monday night, which was 3 June. I changed the order of ALT3 and added a link to Eid Al-Fitr as well.

Earwig is picking up the direct quotes, and so saying Violation Possible at 42.2%, but all the quotes are clearly indicated and have citations to the sources. If there's concern about the number of direct quotes, some could be paraphrased as indirect quotes, but I think it's better to have the actual words of the President, Prime Minister, Interior Minister, American Embassy, etc. RebeccaGreen (talk) 12:31, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

  • Note: I have removed the image from the nomination, since it does not appear in the article and cannot be used (and, per Drmies above, is not an interesting image). BlueMoonset (talk) 14:47, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
