De puinhopen van acht jaar Paars
edit- ... that aspiring politician Pim Fortuyn (pictured) claims he wrote De puinhopen van acht jaar Paars because he believed journalists were too lazy to read his previous work?

- Comment: Just realized the source may not be checkable by everyone, due to it being in Dutch. So here I'll provide translations of that inline reference source with Google Translate and with Bing Translator look for the word "lazy" ("lui" in Dutch).

: creation date, length, and image license all check out. Copyvio check came back clean on references. I can only assume good faith as to the source since I cannot read Dutch and the context is difficult to ascertain due to the translation program. The word "claim" in the hook implies contention of the fact as to whether he wrote it or not. From what I have read in the article it does not appear that this was in any sort of contention and thus he would not need to make the distinction of a claim to clarify his stake in the book. I would recommend removing that particular word; the hook would still makes sense if "claims he" were removed. The "too lazy" statement should be in quotes in the hook. Otherwise a very handsome article. Mkdwtalk 06:56, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
