Template:Did you know nominations/1917 Minsk City Duma election

]]
 * I have found the ref you are looking for, and have added it with a statement about Minsk not being directly in the theatre of war or revolution during July 1917. You are welcome to improve the statement as you see fit. However we could still just omit the word "peacefully" from the hook if you wish, and it would still work.

 * Per WP:V, Wikipedia does not publish things based on the conclusions of editors. Rather, it publishes what reliable sources say. I do not see where in the article a reliable source cites that the 1917 Minsk City Duma election was peaceful, as the city being peaceful does not mean that the election was peaceful. I'm suggesting an ALT below:
 * ALT8: ...that Bolsheviks were elected in the 1917 Minsk City election while Stalin was arresting their supporters in Petrograd?
 * Thoughts? Z1720 (talk) 01:35, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I'm happy with ALT8. Storye book (talk) 07:00, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Can you approve ALT8 so we can move this nomination along? Z1720 (talk) 13:33, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't approve ALT8... the Bolsheviks didn't win the Minsk vote and there isn't any established third-party source that makes a connection between the Stalin's role in Petrograd events and Minsk municipal election. --Soman (talk) 14:06, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
 * can you propose an ALT that would be acceptable? Z1720 (talk) 15:56, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm puzzled: the section List "5 - Social Democrats" says that Bolsheviks were elected as part of the social democrats group: "Vasily Vashkevich [ru], Kārlis Landers, I. F. Skuratowicz, V. Golubeva and Nevsky were among the Bolshevik members of the city duma". Sorry - did I misunderstand something? Storye book (talk) 17:03, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
 * In an effort to get this nomination rolling, let's try another ALT. I think this new alt makes clear that the Bolsheviks did not win the election. The article mentions the arrest of Bolsheviks at the same time, so the connection is in the article. If this information shouldn't be in the article, then perhaps a discussion can happen on the article's talk page about its inclusion.
 * ALT8a: ...that some Bolsheviks were elected in the 1917 Minsk City election while Stalin was arresting their supporters in Petrograd?
 * Thoughts? If this hook doesn't work, can you propose an ALT? Thanks. Z1720 (talk) 19:06, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

I'm happy with ALT8a. Storye book (talk) 19:56, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
 * How about ALT9 ...that in the 1917 municipal election in Minsk (the present-day capital of Belarus), Belorussian parties only won two out of 102 seats? --Soman (talk) 20:18, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Parenthetical comments such as "(the present-day capital of Belarus)" are not allowed in hooks. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:05, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
 * ALT10 ...that in the 1917 municipal election in Minsk, Belorussian parties only won two out of 102 seats? Facts are repeated in the List 12 section of the article, with citations in Russian.
 * I'm ok with ALT10 :) --Soman (talk) 13:10, 27 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you. Any chance of a tick? Or at least some kind of where-are-we-at-now review? Pretty please? Storye book (talk) 15:49, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Readding the tick. Hook is cited, but it's a foreign language source so I'm AFG. I checked for the other DYK criteria in a previous review, which can be found further up. Z1720 (talk) 18:31, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Woohoo! thank you, everybody, for hanging on in there. We made it, after three months and twelve days! Storye book (talk) 20:21, 27 June 2022 (UTC) |}}
