Ecologists Without Borders, Let's Clean Slovenia in One Day!, Let's Clean Slovenia 2012
[edit]- ... that both volunteer cleanups organized by the Ecologists Without Borders association, the Let's Clean Slovenia in One Day! (2010) and this year's Let's Clean Slovenia 2012, joined over 10% of Slovenia's population?
- ALT ... that over 10% of Slovenia's population participated in each of the volunteer cleanups organized by the Ecologists Without Borders association, the Let's Clean Slovenia in One Day! (2010) and this year's Let's Clean Slovenia 2012?

- Comment: just over 200 characters, hopefully still acceptable. ALT is slightly clearer, but also slightly longer. Alternative suggestions welcome

- Length, age and NPOV all check out fine. The articles could do with some copy-editing though; contractions are disfavoured in formal writing and the first sentence in the Let's Clean Slovenia in One Day! article is quite a mouthful. --Eisfbnore (下さいて話し) 08:19, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
- Comment: Note that for multi-article hooks, only the first bolded article counts toward the 200 character maximum; the second and third bolded article titles above would not be counted. That puts the original hook at 155 characters, and the ALT at 170 characters. As the original is not quite worded correctly, I'd advise using the ALT. Actually, I'd advise a tiny change in the ALT to get rid of the parenthesis:

I agree with ALT2. — Yerpo Eh? 06:59, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
- Is there some other requirement or can someone push this forward? — Yerpo Eh? 07:54, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
Adding symbol to let people know that a reviewer is needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:09, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
All three articles meet the DYK criteria as far as I can see. ALT2 is appropriately referenced. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:42, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
