Created by Juxlos (talk). Self-nominated at 10:37, 1 November 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Bogor City Regional House of Representatives; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

The first two hooks are interesting enough. Article is new and long enough. No copyvio (checked a single source for transvio). I would clarify ALT1 as:

• • ALT1b: ... that 33 former members of the city council of Bogor, Indonesia were convicted of corruption in 2010, including three that were still serving and the city's vice-mayor?

• The article seems to translate gemeente as autonomous city. Gemeente is a municipality instead, whereas a stadsgemeente is a municipality that's also a city / has a city.
• The google-translated detik source says that the vice-mayor was convicted next to 32 "other" members of the council (so 33 in total). Is that machine translation correct? Is the vice-mayor also a city councillor (that would not be allowed in Dutch gemeentes.. ). —Femke 🐦 (talk) 10:44, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

• He was a councillor before vice-mayor and was convicted for corruption during his time as councillor. As for the 32 "other" - you're right, the 32 were convicted first and then the vice-mayor (former councillor) got convicted after, making 33. Juxlos (talk) 12:27, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

Brilliant, thanks. . —Femke 🐦 (talk) 16:47, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
