- ... that Beyond the Wall, a book about East Germany, was well reviewed in the UK but deeply controversial in Germany? Source: [1][2][3][4][5][6]
Created by Llewee (talk). Self-nominated at 13:20, 3 June 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Beyond the Wall (2023 book); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
All reliable sources, the hook is interesting and was nominated on time. However, most of these single quotes should be double quotes (MOS:DOUBLE), and since you have five DYK credits, this one will require a QPQ.--NØ 16:53, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
- Hi MaranoFan, thank you for reviewing this nomination, I have corrected the issues with quotation marks. I've also reviewed 3 nominations including one which has been approved.Llewee (talk) 14:00, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
The article does have a few more direct quotes than I'd like but the prose seems to narrowly go over 1500 characters without it so it should be fine.--NØ 18:57, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
