 * ... that Abdullah Atfeh was the first chief of staff of the Syrian Army following the country's independence?


 * Symbol question.svg Article is new enough and long enough, and adequately referenced per DYK standards. I found no copyvios in the limited source material that I was able to access on line via Google Books.  There are a couple of concerns that I believe can be easily addressed before AGF approval.  (1) The article implies but does not state that Atfeh was the first chief of staff.  I think the article should state that explicitly, assuming that statement is supported by the source.  (2) There is a reference at the end of the paragraph, which presumably applies to the sentence about the hook fact, but there should be an in-line citation for the sentence containing the hook fact explicitly.

 * Thanks for the review. The hook fact is explicitly mentioned in the lead, and an in-line citation is presented there. Shouldn't that suffice? If not, I could easily mention it in the article body. Yazan (talk) 20:45, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg That suffices. I was looking for the fact in the body of the article and missed that it was cited in the lead.  Good to go. Rlendog (talk) 21:22, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
