- ... that the Committee of Hong Kong–Kowloon Chinese Compatriots of All Circles for the Struggle Against Persecution by the British Authorities in Hong Kong was a committee in Hong Kong Island and Kowloon which aimed to unite Chinese people of all circles in a struggle against British colonialism in Hong Kong?

- Hook is slightly too long and should be shortened per WP:DYK200. A shortened version of the above - which I have not yet attempted to verify - is ALT1: ... that the Struggle Committee in Hong Kong Island and Kowloon aimed to unite Chinese people of all circles in a struggle against British colonialism in Hong Kong?--Launchballer 22:05, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- I intended to have the long translated name of the organisation as the "hooky" part of my original hook. I think this is lost with the shortened name. Perhaps a better hook with a different focus is needed, but I have not thought of one yet. Yue🌙 23:12, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- I guess if the hook is the name, then an alternate hook could be (the source remains the same):
- ALT2: ... that the full name of Hong Kong's Struggle Committee was the "Committee of Hong Kong–Kowloon Chinese Compatriots of All Circles for the Struggle Against Persecution by the British Authorities in Hong Kong"?

- I mean, if the article title was the full thing, I might be inclined to AGF it. (For the record, "that the Committee of Hong Kong–Kowloon Chinese Compatriots of All Circles for the Struggle Against Persecution by the British Authorities in Hong Kong struggled against persecution by the British authorities in Hong Kong" came out at 221.) I'm on the fence with ALT2 as to its interestingness - what else have you got?--Launchballer 10:43, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- Did you know:
- ALT3: ... that a committee of Chinese compatriots of all circles from Hong Kong Island and Kowloon struggled against what they viewed as persecution by the British authorities in Hong Kong?
- ALT4: ... that the Struggle Committee was blamed for a series of bombings in Hong Kong in 1967, despite it only holding two meetings during its entire existence?
- ALT3 is a play on the full name of the organisation, verified by the same source given for the original hook and ALT2. ALT4 is verified by: Cheung, Gary Ka-wai (1 October 2009). Hong Kong's Watershed: The 1967 Riots. Hong Kong University Press. pp. 38–39, 91. ISBN 978-962-209-089-7.
- Apologies, I meant IAR, not AGF. (WP:ARG!) ALT3 checks out and AGF ALT4. Full review needed.--Launchballer 22:44, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
