(

)

~~... that B. R. Ambedkar published his speech on caste system as a book after his speech cancelled in an anti–caste conference?~~

I think the hook is too vague. What was the subject of his speech? The organisers of which event? Mind matrix 20:45, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

I modified the hook. --Gfosankar (talk) 05:11, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
The article moved from The Annihilation of Caste to Annihilation of Caste. --Gfosankar (talk) 14:43, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

I've just made an additional edit to fix the DYKmake template, but there's still something wrong with the hook—Gfosankar, please don't edit hooks in place, but add ALT hooks if you wish to make new versions—and it needs further revising. I'd actually recommend fitting the title of the book, which is very strong, in the hook, rather than obscuring the link. Perhaps something like:

ALT1: ... that B. R. Ambedkar published Annihilation of Caste, his speech intended for an anti-caste conference, after his invitation to present it was withdrawn?

I would like to suggest that the article be given a copyedit. —BlueMoonset (talk) 16:09, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

It's been nearly two weeks without action, so I'm going to upgrade my suggestion to a requirement: given the current state of the article's prose, I do not believe it can be considered for the main page. If a copyedit is done, then I'm happy to call for a full DYK review, but not until then. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:01, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

I did some copy edits. --Gfosankar (talk) 08:34, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

Full review needed, as one has never been done. I've given the article a thorough copyedit, as the changes above were not adequate. Since I suggested ALT1, someone else will have to do the review. Gfosankar, please make sure my edits have not introduced any inaccuracies. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:25, 4 May 2014 (UTC)

OK. Long enough, new enough, etc. Extensive copy edits made. Hook verified. Drmies (talk) 04:14, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
