New enough, long enough, well written, hook is verified and interesting, no plagiarism, QPQ done. I'm not entirely sure that the image is correctly licensed, but in any case it is not used with the hook. Dahn (talk) 09:29, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
@Juxlos, Dahn, and AirshipJungleman29: sorry for last minute pull, I checked this set earlier today but only just had access to a computer to edit... anyway, the issue is there seems to be a chronological issue with this hook, based on what's in the article. The hook begins with "that during a period of religious tensions...", with a link to Maluku sectarian conflict, which is described as being from 1999 to 2002, but then it says he was "selected as the mayor of Ambon, Indonesia, to placate local Christians", something which took place in 1996. So it can't have been during the Maluku conflict. The article goes on to say that this was during his tenure. If there was already tension in 1996, then we probably need to spell that out in the article to use it in the hook and also not link to a specific conflict that took place later.

- @Amakuru: I suppose that will count as OR in the hook. Maybe we can go with a half-hook instead?

- @Dahn: As the original approver, can you confirm if the above hook is approved, and if this article is good to go? @Amakuru: Is the above hook acceptable to you? Z1720 (talk) 00:24, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
- Approving new hook, and sorry for not catching that. Dahn (talk) 03:45, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Z1720: my only query would be whether placate is the best word here... The article text reads "to prevent alienating Christians in the city" which sounds quite benevolent and inclusive, whereas placate means "make (someone) less angry or hostile". Were the Christians angry and hostile before Tanasale's selection? — Amakuru (talk) 07:53, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

- @Juxlos and Dahn: no worries, hope your trip went well. How's this? I've modified your proposal slightly to prevent the alienation of... rather than prevent alienating, it sounds slightly more grammatical. Other than that, this seems fine to me, Dahn can feedback if they approve this version.
