Wim van Norden
edit- ... that Dutch World War II resistance member Wim van Norden never made a decision to join the resistance?

Created by Crispulop (talk). Self-nominated at 10:26, 20 June 2015 (UTC).
Article was created within the time limit and at 6K of prose is long enough. Nothing important showing up on the copyvio detector. The hook is cited to an obituary in Het Parool and although my Dutch is a little elementary it does suggest he never made a conscious decision to join the resistance but fell into it as part of his journalism work. Maybe adding "conscious" to the hook would be better - it's a nice juxtaposition, but if you read the article it suggests he was heavily involved with the resistance press. Also, I've done a few copyedits. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 20:36, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you for the copyedits Ritchie333. I had originally considered adding something as "conscious" to the hook, but I thought that it would make the hook more "logical" for readers and thus somewhat less interesting. Feel free to change it if you like. Crispulop (talk) 22:22, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
- I think I'll leave that as an exercise for the prep / queue builders. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 14:08, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
