Article is new enough and long enough. All hooks are interesting, well cited and within acceptable limits. Will let nominator decide which to use. There is a minor close-paraphrasing issue, general phrases aside, that needs attention See : Duplication detector results. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 17:51, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Gwillhickers: Thanks for reviewing! All the phrases the detector picked up were from the references section of the article, where the phrases are the titles of the articles. For example, see TOLO news for the first phrase. I don't think there is a close paraphrasing problem. As for hook preference, I slightly prefer the original hook but if set assemblers think one fits better than the others for a particular day and use that one instead that's fine. —Danre98(talk^contribs) 18:03, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
- Note: The phrases from TOLO news's side of the report that were picked up were titles from the "related news" section on their site. —Danre98(talk^contribs) 18:05, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
Yes, that checks out. Article is good to go. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 18:09, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
comment In promoting, I changed the hook from "caught in the crossfire" to "attacked"—I can't quite believe I have to say this, but The Taliban is a terrorist organization, not a WP:RS for its own activities. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 02:13, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
