• ... that Silas Papare hated Indonesians so much, he wasn't sent to a conference with Indonesians which in turn made him found a pro-Indonesia political party? Source: Chauvel, Richard (2005). Constructing Papuan Nationalism: History, Ethnicity, and Adaptation, p71: "Prior to Ratulangi’s arrival, Papare was known for his forthright anti-Indonesian views. In 1946, despite his close relations with Resident van Eechoud and other senior Dutch officials, Papare’s reputation as an “Amberi [Indonesian] hater” caused him not to be chosen as the Papuan representative at the Malino conference that set up the pro-Dutch “State of East Indonesia,” due to fear that he would alienate the Ambonese whose support was essential to the plan’s success. Partly for this reason, Papare developed an intense feeling that his services to the Dutch and Allied causes had not been sufficiently recognized or appreciated. Thus, when Ratulangi arrived in Serui, Papare was already alienated from the Dutch. This, together with his reputation among his people, made Papare, the nurse, an ideal collaborator with Dr. Ratulangi, the medical doctor turned politician."

• Comment: Sorry for the long quotation but that's the full paragraph needed to get the hook. It's written in the article but the hook is the compressed version of 3 sentences.

• This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:39, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

• Hi, I came by to promote this, but I find the hook very confusing. He hated Indonesians...so he wasn't sent as a delegate...so he founded a pro-Indonesian party? What is going on here? I read the article and see that mention of the Dutch should probably be included here, but instead you're trying to write a funny hook. This does not work. Could you write a more straightforward hook, perhaps mentioning that he was a national hero? Yoninah (talk) 20:39, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

• Maybe something more mundane then? eg

• ALT2: ... that Silas Papare founded the Indonesian Irian Independence Party, which became a dominant party in Netherlands New Guinea throughout the 1950s?

• ALT3: ... that Papuan-born Silas Papare, who originally held pro-Dutch views, became pro-republican after World War II and founded the Indonesian Irian Independence Party?

KRI Silas Papare (386)

• ALT4: ... that the KRI Silas Papare (386) (pictured), a Parchim-class corvette, was named after a National Hero of Indonesia? Yoninah (talk) 21:02, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

ALT3 seems better. Juxlos (talk) 21:05, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
