neither hook is strictly supported by the source. The historynewsnetwork article dances around the free speech issue and the ponarseurasia.org article mentions monuments but not memorials.©Geni (talk) 13:55, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
- @Geni: I think the interpretation of the sources in the article allows such wording as I used in the alt (in addition to the source cited see also [1]), but this is a bit subjective, yes. Anyway, I changed alt1 wording, memorials and monuments re near synonyms anyway. -Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 13:11, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
For alt 1. The article was created in the past seven days . It hasn't been featured on the Main Page's In the news section and hasn't previously appeared as a "qualifying article" in an earlier DYK. It contains at least 1,500 characters of readable prose and is not be a stub. The hook fact(s) is stated in the article, and is immediately followed by an inline citation to a reliable source. The article in general uses inline cited sources. Sources are properly labelled in a references section and the references do not have bare URLs. Any direct quotations have been marked as such and cited to a reliable source. The article contains no dispute templates. The article does not violate Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living people. The article does not contain plagiarism or close paraphrasing. The article deals with the subject in a neutral manner. The hook is properly formatted and is shorter than about 200 characters. The hook does not have neutrality problems or undue emphasis on a negative aspect of a living individual. There is no image.©Geni (talk) 23:51, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
