... that Netherlands Indies Civil Administration, established in 1944 operated as a link between the Dutch East Indies Government in exile and the Allied high command in the command area of the Southwest Pacific Area (SWPA)?

DYK check indicates long enough and new enough. Cited source is in Dutch but a machine translation supports the statement, so we can WP:AGF. The hook is too long according to policy, it is currently 220 characters including spaces, it must be 200 or less including spaces. EricSerge (talk) 16:30, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Alt1 is still too long, but Alt2 or Alt 3 should work (yes I suggested Alt3, I don't know if that is out of line, but if it is, please accept my apology). Meets length, newness, and policy. AGF on Dutch language source. EricSerge (talk) 22:29, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Normally, a new ALT would need to be approved by an independent reviewer, but since ALT3 merely deletes three words from ALT2 ("command area of") and does not change its meaning or facts at all, it doesn't need such a review. I've taken the liberty of striking the two overlong hooks so they aren't accidentally used. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:34, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
