- The article requires good copyediting. Also lead needs to be expanded to include all key points. I will do some editing now. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 10:46, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for the feedback, have expanded the lead and did some copyediting. Evano1van(எவனோ ஓருவன்) 06:58, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
- I've done some additional copyediting; the prose is still a bit awkward in places, but I think it's passable now. I don't think the hook should try to explain the reason for the attack, it's not something that can be easily summed up in a few words. How about this:
- ALT1: ... that in 2007, three people died in an arson attack on the office of Indian newspaper Dinakaran?

Nomination needs full DYK review. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:57, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
New Enough, long enough (5,400 characters), no QPQ necessary (first nomination), cited appropriately (Dup detector on three sources, check of 5 sentences, and Copyvio check all showed clean and no close paraphrasing), seems NPOV. I did some copy-editing, and think (with DoctorKubla) that prose is good enough. Hook I agree with the good doctor that ALT1 is better. ALT1 is interesting, under 200 words, and seems sure to stay away from any NPOV concerns of living persons. ALT1 approved. Welcome to DYK Evano. AbstractIllusions (talk) 22:01, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
