5x expanded by Whispyhistory (talk). Self-nominated at 19:58, 19 June 2019 (UTC).
This article is a five-fold expansion and is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and either hook could be used, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright or plagiarism issues. A QPQ has been done. C (talk) 06:34, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
- @Cwmhiraeth:...hi, situation has changed... can I add ALT2?
- ALT2:... that the 2018–19 Kivu Ebola epidemic was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on 17 July 2019? The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the Ebola crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) a public health emergency of international concern.[4]
- Approving ALT2. I thought about this hook when I heard the WHO announcement mentioned on the news the other day, and I am glad to see you have updated the article and hook. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:05, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks @Cwmhiraeth:...The article is on main page "in the news"...I'm not sure if I should think of an alternative hook? Do you have a suggestion? Whispyhistory (talk) 08:56, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
- It wasn't the bolded article in the "In the news" blurb (which would have disqualified it from DYK). I should have thought ALT2 is satisfactory unless something better occurs to you. The ITN item should work its way off the main page before too long. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:17, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
- No intention to complicate matters. Leave as it is. Thank you for clarifying. Whispyhistory (talk) 13:20, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
