Eastern Region, Nigeria

5x expanded by Alexplaugh12 (talk). Nominated by Stanleytux (talk) at 06:43, 4 August 2016 (UTC).

  • Comment The first hook is not about the nominated article! Edwardx (talk) 09:16, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
Template:Re Thanks for your message, took out the first hook, leaving ALT1. What you think? Stanleytux (talk) 10:57, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
  • Comment2 Because this system of government isn't unique, even among other regions of Nigeria, you may run into criticism of the hook as not interesting. Could I suggest
ALT2 ... that Eastern Region, Nigeria spent up to one-third of the government budget on education in the 1950s and '60s?
  • Also, any chance of adding more sources to the article? Two is rather thin. Taknaran (talk) 16:46, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
  • Comment Taknaran makes a good point. ALT1 does not seem to meet the "interesting" criterion for a hook. ALT2 is interesting enough. Edwardx (talk) 17:37, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

  • Template:Ping - this is not a review, but looking at the hook it is pretty dull, isn't there something more interesting you can pull from the article? The point of a DYK hook is to get people to actually read the article after all.  MPJ-DK  02:19, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
Template:Re We have already agreed to go with Taknaran's hook which is more interesting than the one provided as ALT 1. Stanleytux (talk) 05:07, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
Template:U - AH! yes I must have missed that (reading is fundamental but apparently hard ;-) ) so I agree that hook would be interesting, that's not a fact we'd normally think of when thinking of an African country. Just a couple of issues 1) The article does not stated a date range (50s and 60s) while the hook does. 2) The source in the artcle is from the 1950s, so it could not actually support what was done in the 1960s. So Alt2 needs to be adjusted or sources to cover the 1960s needs to be added.  MPJ-DK  06:12, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
Have added yet another source to the article backing the education budget in the '60s. Stanleytux (talk) 07:51, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
How about
  • ALT3:... that in the Eastern Region, Nigeria, palm is an important crop, producing leaves for thatch, palm wine for consumption and palm kernels for foreign trade? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:19, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
This also makes good sense. Pinging Taknaran, Edwardx and MPJ-DK to get their thoughts on the new hook. Stanleytux (talk) 07:51, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
