2015 Corsican protests

 * ... that a Quran was burned during violent protests in Corsica in December 2015.?


 * Reviewed: I was told that you can use credit. Before going offline for almost a year in 2014 (end) I had a credt due for a review.

Created by Lihaas (talk). Self-nominated at 01:04, 4 January 2016 (UTC).


 * This was created on December 28, 2015, so I moved the nomination accordingly to that date section. George Ho (talk) 19:07, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg page size and age are ok, QPQ taken in good faith, copyvio negative clear with Earwig's tool, written neutrally, but hook is uncited and is only "reportedly" burnt in article. I'd not go with that hook anyway as uninteresting. I'd build a hook around the protests and Corsican independence, which might not be known to many readers.

 * What part is copyvio?
 * I meant "negative" in that there was none - changed to "clear" Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 09:52, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
 * As for an altblurb: ... that Corsican nationalism was claimed as separate from French nationalism following protests in Corsica in December 2015?
 * cited from "Talamoni blamed the "imported" ideology of the National Front and claimed the protests and arson were anethema to Corsican nationalism".Lihaas (talk) 23:41, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, that one is better. Actually given that the point of corsican nationalism is liberation from the French this hook makes no sense. Could write they are distancing Corsican nationalism from racism thogh.... Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 09:52, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Feel free to suggest a better one?Lihaas (talk) 12:41, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
 * It is an interesting topic, but nothing is jumping out at me. I will post a note and see if anyone has nay better ideas....Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 02:25, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Here are two alternate hook suggestions: The background section of the article itself is kind of confusing; but I'm not sure how to clarify it. ~  ONUnicorn (Talk&#124;Contribs) problem solving 15:23, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
 * ALT 3: ... that despite assertions that Corsican nationalism doesn't legitimize xenophobia, the 2015 Corsican protests involved people chanting "Arabs get out!" and the arson of a Muslim prayer hall?
 * ALT 4: ... that on 27 December 2015 hundreds of people marched in Corsica despite the imposition of a protest ban following an arson several days earlier?
 * Hmmm, it is a bit but I think that is because the situation/background itself is rather complex....at least that's my take anyway. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 06:56, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
 * As far as the hooks go, I'd go with ALT4...but grammatically it is an "episode of arson" or "arson attack" Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 07:00, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

L, Blue Moonset has commented at my talk page and I think I agree with them. I thnk the background section has to be made clearer. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 08:58, 7 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Symbol possible vote.svg It has been eleven days without any action to address the issues raised, despite Lihaas's talk page being pinged at the time and subsequent activity elsewhere on the site. Action is needed now to avoid closure of the nomination. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:52, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol delete vote.svg Another three days have passed since BlueMoonset's final call. It's now time to call it a day - not enough work has been done to resolve the raised issues. Two months since its nomination, this is where it ends for this article, unfortunately. —♦♦ AMBER  (ЯʘCK)  23:30, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
