 * New ALT1: ... that Agustín Basave Benítez resigned from the presidency of the PRD because he failed to serve as a "sort of referee" within the party?
 * This ALT1 may also be used in conjunction with a date hold to July 2, 2016, which is the date when Basave's resignation takes effect. Raymie (t • c) 04:56, 19 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg - - New enough, long enough. No link issues, no copyright issues. QPQ provided. While the article does not say "69 days" it does give us the dates to do the math so I think that's allowable for DYK then. Hook is directly sourced and does list both the start and end dates so I would say that checks out too. Good go to.  MPJ  -DK  22:16, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Um, shouldn't the hook mention it's talking about Mexico?  E Eng  14:03, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Is it necessary if I have the full name of the PRD, a Mexican political party? I mean, I could see it if I had only written "PRD". The links are all Mexico-specific. Raymie (t • c) 18:52, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm a reasonably intelligent and educated native speaker of English, and I puzzled over it at first. I suggest "president of Mexico's Party of the Democratic Revolution?".  E Eng  19:44, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Alright, let me suggest...
 * ALT2: ... that Agustín Basave Benítez was a federal deputy for just 69 days prior to becoming president of the Mexican Party of the Democratic Revolution?

 * Personally I'd write "Mexico's" instead of "the Mexican", but it's a matter of taste.  E Eng  23:09, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
