- Made minor adjustments to the hook. --Rosiestep (talk) 16:26, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
New enough, long enough, thoroughly footnoted, and appears not to have any issues with copying or close paraphrasing. Most sources are offline or not in English (or both), but this is acceptable and I'm taking them on good faith. There are some minor issues with non-idiomatic English (e.g. missing articles) but I don't think they're serious enough to block DYK. I'm a little worried that the hook would be taken as an inflammatory statement of nationalistic pride, but given that it's from so long ago I'd hope people would take it as being more about the subject and less about current borders. Good to go, I think. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:37, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
- Given those concerns, I think it would be important to phrase the hook in the past tense (I've put that in as ALT1). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smurrayinchester (talk • contribs)
