Substantial overview full of details, on excellent sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I see a problem in having such a broad range to pick a short snappy thing from, but confess that none of the hooks leaves me happy. What I like best in the first suggestion is that the piping is moderate, while in both others, it borders Easter egg. As a reader, I would want to reach a woman's bio when clicking her name, not this broad thing. In the first hook, there's no history, - perhaps one item to hint at that could be added? ... that while ??? in the history, in the 21st century it fueled revolution? - Perhaps a completely different fact, or two? If not, I can approve the original. I trust that there will be architecture when it appears ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:40, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

I forgot the minor thingy that one ref misses a title. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:54, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

I added three more hooks, taking you up on your suggestion. - And the title issue is fixed, thanks for pointing it out.Munfarid1 (talk) 19:19, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

ALT3: ... that the Khartoum School of Modern Art florished during the 1960s and early 70s, but only received late recognition through an exhibition at the Tate Modern gallery in 2013? Source: https://www.tate.org.uk/art/art-terms/k/khartoum-school

ALT4: ... that Modern Art in Sudan was thriving from the 1960s up to the 80s, but was suppressed for almost 40 years, until its revival in the Sudanese Revolution? Source: as ALT1

Thank you for the offers which I like much better. Let's see if we can streamline a bit.

ALT1.1: ... that Sudanese art received attention in Western media when a new generation of artists fueled the revolution of 2018/19?

ALT4.0: ... that modern art in Sudan was suppressed from the 1980s until its revival in the Sudanese Revolution?

What do you think? Main page readers don't want to study ;) - I think ALT3 is fine but not as strong as the others--Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:02, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, I prefer ALT4.0, hoping that it will attract people's attention. It's always a pleasure to read your comments! And BTW: I will do a QPQ in time to make up for this DYK nomination.Munfarid1 (talk) 21:07, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Gerda Arendt, I have reviewed the DYK nomination Template:Did you know nominations/Stephan Hanna Stephan as my QPQ, and am just waiting for the nominator's reply. Will ping him today. Munfarid1 (talk) 19:15, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
