Would you like to put this into a double hook with Template:Did you know nominations/Portuguese invasion of Jaffna kingdom (1591)? Yoninah (talk) 22:45, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
That would be good.Let it go single since it's notable victory for Portuguese and lost for Jaffna, Yoninah. --AntanO 01:55, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
New enough, long enough, neutrally written, adequately referenced. As all sources are offline, unable to check for close paraphrasing. Offline hook ref AGF and cited inline. I tweaked the hook slightly per the article. QPQ done. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 22:05, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
