Imam Reza shrine stabbings

(

... that Iranian Sunni scholars condemned the Imam Reza shrine stabbings carried out by a Takfiri extremist? Source: IRNA, al-Monitor

Comments: The suggested hook seems too focused on something obvious – of course most scholars (whether Sunni, Shia, or otherwise) would condemn such an attack – that is only to be expected. I also think the hook should tell the reader when the stabbings occurred. I suggest
Alt 1: "... that a Takfiri extremist stabbed two clerics to death and injured another at the Imam Reza shrine in Mashhad, Iran, on 5 April 2022?".
Alt 2: "... that a Takfiri extremist stabbed three clerics at the Imam Reza shrine in Mashhad, Iran, on 5 April 2022, killing two of them?"
Alt 3: "... that a Takfiri extremist stabbed three clerics on 5 April 2022 at the Imam Reza shrine, killing two of them?"

Thanks for the suggestions, but I still stand with the original hook. Your Alts are too simple I believe. The incident was apparently a move against the Sunni-Shia unity (it happened after the killing of a sunni scholar in a mosque in northern Iran). That's why Sunni scholars unanimously condemned the attack. --Mhhossein ^talk 05:16, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
Also the page has not been featured on the main page. --Mhhossein ^talk 05:20, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

Mhossein, I'm looking at this, and at the article--but I'm stuck already in the second sentence of the description. "A second cleric who had died" needs a lot of ... well it needs some editing. Drmies (talk) 01:15, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

@Drmies: Hey, I was not notified due to the misspell. I have nominated the page at GOCE. --Mhhossein ^talk 11:45, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

User:Mhhossein, I apologize, my friend--I should have checked better. Drmies (talk) 16:12, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

No worries Drmies. Will the DYK nomination be reviewed by you after the GOCE job is finished?--Mhhossein ^talk 17:46, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

Sure thing, Mhhossein--please just ping me when you're done. Drmies (talk) 19:56, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

Hey Drmies. The copyediting is finished [1]. Please let me know your thoughts. --Mhhossein ^talk 18:04, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

Mhhossein, good, thanks--just one thing. See edit history. BTW I'm fine with your original hook. Drmies (talk) 14:22, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

Dear Drmies. I addressed your point in the edit history. --Mhhossein ^talk 08:31, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

New enough, verified, etc. But please note I had to make a number of edits to move the article text away from one of the sources; this is a matter of some concern. Kelhuri, it's this edit, and I'd like to know from Diannaa if this warrants rev-deletion. Personally I'm inclined to say yes, though this comes pretty close to "how else are you going to say it". Diannaa, this is the source. Anyway, that's no longer in the article, so that's good to go. With the original hook. Drmies (talk) 14:12, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

No, Drmies, I would not rev-del that, as it's over 50 diffs and on a potentially controversial recent news item.— Diannaa (talk) 20:07, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
