(

• Back to T:TDYK
• Article history

)

• ... that Munafri Arifuddin ran for mayor of Makassar as a single candidate, won 265,000 votes, and lost?

• Reviewed: final (5th) DYK credit as my reviews aren't main paged yet.
• Comment: I'm fairly sure this is a world first but I have no source backing it.

Overall: Cool new article. Earwig's is down so I'll check copyvio later No plagiarism. I prefer the original to ALT1--you can link the election to the word "ran". You might also consider ...ran for mayor... to avoid repeating the "as". Catrìona (talk) 23:02, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

• Allow me to propose a variation on the original:
• ALT2:... that Munafri Arifuddin ran unopposed for mayor of Makassar, won 265,000 votes, and lost? Catrìona (talk) 23:40, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

• Actually, that flows better - let's go with that. Juxlos (talk) 23:57, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

• You added the word "over" to ALT2. It's better with "more than". I'm OK with either ALT2 or ALT3.
• ALT3:... that Munafri Arifuddin ran unopposed for mayor of Makassar, won more than 265,000 votes, and lost? Catrìona (talk) 01:47, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
• ALT3 it is then. Juxlos (talk) 02:57, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
