 * Character count after the lead section is 1552, but 719 of those characters are the contents of direct quotes from the source articles (they are given as quotes with quotation marks and citations, so not really a copyvio); very short sections could be combined until more information is added to the article. I would like to see this article grow more with a smaller ratio of quotes to original text first. Hook verified in citation. Slambo (Speak)  15:48, 21 February 2014 (UTC
 * I'll be doing some more cleanup and improvement, thanks for the suggestions. Plot Spoiler (talk) 16:12, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I made some improvements. Any quotes are now direct statements from the group that carried out the attack. Page may not be in an ideal state, but should fulfill all requirements for a DYK. Plot Spoiler (talk) 17:27, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I tweaked the hook. Organisations do not become suicide bombers, only individuals. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:11, 25 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Nomination needs a new review now that major changes to the article have been made. The new review should include neutrality and close paraphrasing checks. Suggesting the following ALT1 hook which clarifies date and country, two things that confused me about the original:
 * ALT1: ... that following the suicide bombing of a tourist bus in Taba, Ansar Bait al-Maqdis threatened to attack tourists who did not leave Egypt by February 20, 2014? —BlueMoonset (talk) 16:21, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg 5x expansion verified. New enough, long enough, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. Article is written with neutral point of view. ALT1 hook ref verified and cited inline. Only a QPQ is missing. Yoninah (talk) 23:40, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Tweak idea for the hook: Instead of mentioning the Feb 20 date, which might not be of much relevance in March, how about saying:
 * ALT2: ... that after the February 2014 suicide bombing of a tourist bus in Taba, Ansar Bait al-Maqdis threatened to attack tourists who did not leave Egypt within four days? Yoninah (talk) 21:09, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Finally finished the QPQ. Sorry for the delay. Like the alt. Thanks! Plot Spoiler (talk) 03:45, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thank you. QPQ done. ALT2 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 11:14, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
