... that Muharem Kurbegovic turned to terrorism after losing a case for lewd conduct in a public restroom? Source: "His masturbation arrest would be the be-all or end-all of his life."
- ALT1:... that Muharem Kurbegovic was called the Alphabet Bomber because his targets would spell out the name of his terrorist group, "Aliens Of America"? Source: "The first bomb was marked with the letter A, which stands for airport,” he said. “The second bomb will be associated with the letter L, etc., until our name has been written on the face of this nation in blood.” After a grim panic seized the city, he sent a warning about the next device, planted in a Greyhound bus station, in a locker—thus L. "

Comment: No image here. Some of the article is based on 1974 Los Angeles International Airport Bombing, but enough is original to qualify.

Fresh enough, never featured in ITN or DYK, hook supported by a RS, article quite referenced. Everything else is fine as well. The main hook is fine and hooky. QPQ is not completed but not needed to be completed because the nominator hasn't had enough nominations yet. Good to go; congrats!--R8R (talk) 15:58, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

JerrySa1, according to the DYK rules, if you copy something from another article and then nominate the new article, you need to expand on the copied text 5x. You've copied about 761 characters of text from 1974 Los Angeles International Airport Bombing, which means your new article needs to contain at least 3805 characters of text. Right now the article contains 2750 characters.
When you copy text from one Wikipedia page to another, you also need to fill in Template:Copied and post it at the top of each talk page. Yoninah (talk) 22:45, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

JerrySa1, can you add 1,100 characters to the article to make it meet the 5x expansion? --Usernameunique (talk) 11:17, 26 December 2017 (UTC)

No changes have been made to this article in more than a month, since Usernameunique's last post, although the nominator has continued to edit on Wikipedia. If the above issue is not addressed by February 4, the nomination will be closed as unsuccessful. Yoninah (talk) 18:53, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

I've abandoned the submission. Jerry (talk) 19:10, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
