  • I can shorten it by removing the specificity (which decades, which parties, a word or two). --Orange Mike | Talk 20:37, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
Comment (not a review): It's not a question if you could shorten the hook, you have to. Currently, it's way too long (343 characters, as apposed to the absolute maximum of 200 characters).--FoxyOrange (talk) 14:29, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
Sorry to say this, but this article does not seem to be new enough: It was created on 19 July, and the DYK nomination was filed on 26 July, nearly exactly one week later (and clearly above the five days threshold). It was expanded on 23 July, but this has not resulted in a fivefold expansion of the prose part, either.--FoxyOrange (talk) 19:48, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
