- ... that the Derg military junta supported the formation of the Union of Ethiopian Marxist-Leninist Organizations, but eventually crushed or disbanded its member organizations (Meison, Seded, Echat, Waz and Malerid)?

I don't see the Derg support on the page cited.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:21, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
- "The formation of Imaledih was actively supported by the ruling Derg military junta.[4]" In there reference, see the sentence that starts "As a result of..." (although the grammar is really twisted in the reference). --Soman (talk) 08:30, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
- The grammar is not so much twisted as the antecedent is on the prior omitted page. I will WP:AGF.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 22:03, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
- Am I suppose to WP:AGF for offline content for the other half of the hook?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:37, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
- The suppression/disbanding is described in following ways on Page 266 in Haile Selassie, Western Education and political revolution in Ethiopia, this process is described in the following way: "Meison was banned. The three less important civilian factions, Malerid, Echa'at and Woz Adder League were also crushed. Even Colonel Mengistu's Seded, which enjoyed state protection, was legally disbanded." Do note that the same book is featured (at 0:45) in this video by The Lonely Island. --Soman (talk) 10:12, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
- Do you reference that in the article?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 22:03, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
- This reference appeared in 3 out of the 5 articles: UEMLO, Seded and Malerid. I fixed the refs for UEMLO article so that the ref appears directly after the sentences. I reworded the passage in the Seded article for clarity. In the Echat article there was the wording "During this period leading members of Echat were hunted down and jailed.[7]", but i've added the "crushed" reference also now. The Waz League article has the passage "Following the break between the Derg and the Waz League, the Waz League was purged.[11]" --Soman (talk) 22:18, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
- Are you saying that the 2nd half of the hook is not encyclopedic content for the Imaledih article?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 01:08, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
-
- Why is this reference not used in the Imaledih article?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 08:34, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
- It is, for three sentences (Imaledih is the Amharic acronym for UEMLO). --Soman (talk) 08:52, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
- The article should also have UEMLO in bold then.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 22:07, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
- A drive-by comment: This is a quintuple hook. I'm under the impression that the author/nominator has to do a total of 5 peer reviews. Right? --PFHLai (talk) 05:42, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
- I was unsure of this, I haven't done any such multihooks since the new system was put in place. --Soman (talk) 08:30, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
- Yes.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:28, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
-
- Agreed.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 00:57, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
All articles pass for date and length and the hook is now properly reffed.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 23:02, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
