Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/2012–2014 Salvadoran gang truce; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

Will review today, making copyedits as I go. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 21:31, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

@PizzaKing13: Okay, did edits. This article looks like a great resource. New enough, definitely long enough, as neutral as can be for the subject, well cited. Earwig only turns up quotations. The hook is fine and definitely interesting enough; I'd recommend linking the way of ALT0a which I added. QPQ present. A few suggestions or questions before approval ():

What does "Although the government removed soldiers from the designated peace zones" mean (why "although")? And could this and the following sentence be merged?

The removal was a part of the peace zone process, so I added the gang's part of process of them surrendering their weapons. Both were supposed to show the truce being strengthened. I merged the sentences with a semicolon.

"According to journalist C. Ramos" - where is this cited?

It's within Hume 2016.

"Perdomo gave contradictory statements both supporting and denying the truce's effectiveness" – elaborate on this?

I misread the initial source, it's worded a bit weird. Fixed it though and elaborated on what he said.

"He also stated that while Funes' government was supporting the truce, it was also "creat[ing] more obstacles"" – what does this mean?

The source doesn't say, but I'd assume Mijango would be trying to say the government is making obstacles to the truce working out/succeeding. Expanded that.

The article relies heavily on InSight Crime – doesn't seem like an issue, just noting. These sources turned up with a quick search, is there anything important to add from them?

Thanks, a lot of ISC's sources in their articles are dead and many aren't archived which makes it difficult to rely on them and made diversifying the sources difficult. They laid it all out in a category which made it easier.

You use "stated" or "stating" a lot ... it may be possible to remove some of them, but that's not an immediate concern.

Yea, I'll figure that out if/when I nominate this for good article soon.

Again, nice work on a history I knew very little about. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 23:18, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

@Hameltion: I personally do prefer your suggested ALT0a which makes the truce link more prominent. Thanks for the review. PizzaKing13 ^¡Hablame! 00:45, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Awesome. Adding another slight hook variation. Everything looks good. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 02:03, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
