Jürgen Hinzpeter
... that German journalist Jürgen Hinzpeter, who covered the Gwangju Uprising, asked to be buried in the May 18th National Cemetery in Korea?Source: https://www.nocutnews.co.kr/news/4542242- ALT1:... that ...? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (and [link] the source, or cite it briefly without using citation templates)
5x expanded by Jirangmoon (talk). Self-nominated at 09:08, 11 December 2019 (UTC).
The expansion is new enough but falls a little short of a five-fold expansion. Mackensen (talk) 00:50, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Mackensen: My prose counter shows 744 B (123 words) -> 4047 B (689 words) , so I think it should be fine? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 14:56, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
Article is long enough and expansion verified. The main text is cited throughout and appears to be free of close paraphrasing; this is difficult to verify against German- and Korean-language sources which are accepted in good faith. The hook is verified and of reasonable length. No QPQ required for this nomination as it appears to be the editor's first. Mackensen (talk) 22:23, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this, and first edited and reorganized the presentation. I also added some English-language refs, so I've probably made myself ineligible for promoting this. It would be nice to mention his wife in a "Personal life" section. However, the hook is inaccurate. He asked to be buried in Gwangju; others suggested the National Cemetery. It might be hooky to say his nail clippings and hair were buried there. Yoninah (talk) 00:15, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- Proposing ALT1 based on Yoninah's revisions, will need to be reviewed:
"... that despite his wishes, only small parts of German journalist Jürgen Hinzpeter were buried in Gwangju?Mackensen (talk) 00:43, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks, but that sounds a little gross. How about:
- ALT2: ... that German journalist Jürgen Hinzpeter, who covered the Gwangju Uprising, was honored with a memorial stone containing his hair and nail clippings by the May 18 Memorial Foundation? Yoninah (talk) 00:48, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
