  • Comment: the hook should be in the form of a question that answers itself,. something like "...that British passengers of British Airways Flight 2069 were offered £2,000 and a free ticket as compensation for the attempted hijacking of the flight?" Mindmatrix 23:02, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
Kinda longish but I see your point. Hoodinski (talk) 08:15, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
Comment The article being nommed should be wiki linked and bolded. Thanks, ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 08:45, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
  • Article - created new on 11 June, so new enough; 1605 characters of readable prose, so long enough; neutral; at least one inline citation to every paragraph; no copy vios detected using earwig/duplication detector; and assessed as C class, so not a stub.
  • Hook - within length criteria at 151 characters; correctly formatted; correctly cited/supported by ref #4 in 'Consequences' section; and I certainly found it interesting.
  • No QPQ required as nominator doesn't appear to have any DYK credits; and no image used.
Seems fine, a short interesting article - I'm glad I wasn't on that flight! SagaciousPhil - Chat 15:41, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
