Guillotière Cemetery edit

  • ... that Guillotière Cemetery was mistakenly bombed by the American military during the Second World War on 26 May 1944? Source: "C’est ainsi que sont ravagés par erreur les quartiers du Moulin-à-Vent, du Grand-Trou, Gerland et la place Jean Macé jusqu’à l’avenue Berthelot... Le nouveau cimetière de la Guillotière a fait partie des dommages collatéraux." ([1])

  • Comment: Translated from the French version into my userspace, then moved to the mainspace on March 9, 2017. Upon reflection "WW2" might be better than "Second World War" in the hook, and perhaps this should be wikilinked? I don't want to update it now in case a review is in progress. Will add Alt hooks instead.

  • New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced. As all refs are foreign language or offline, unable to check for close paraphrasing. ALT1 is the best IMO; the actual date is not needed since we're not able to hold this nomination until then, and the "mistakenly" aspect is very hooky. I tweaked ALT1 to add the location and removed the link to WW2, instead spelling it out. Foreign-language ALT1 hook ref AGF (although I checked it with Google Translate) and cited inline. QPQ done. All images in article are freely licensed. ALT1 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 23:21, 18 March 2017 (UTC)
