Battle of Meligalas

 * ... that, in the aftermath of the German withdrawal from the Peloponnese, Greek left-wing partisans defeated and summarily executed some 700 to 1,100 Nazi collaborators in the town of Meligalas? Source: This is a summary of the article's key points -- please see the lead section.
 * ALT1:... that until 1982, Greek government officials organized and participated in a commemoration service in Meligalas for Nazi collaborators who had been defeated and summarily executed in 1944? Source: "το 1982, όταν το υπ. Εσωτερικών γνωστοποιεί στο δήμο τον τερματισμό της συμμετοχής των επίσημων κρατικών αρχών" (English: "in 1982, when the Ministry of Internal Affairs communicated to the municipality the cessation of the participation of official state authorities" -- link)
 * ALT2:... that the bloody events of 1944 in Meligalas resurfaced in Greek political discourse as a rallying cry for anti-fascists against the far right? Source: "ο Μελιγαλάς αρχίζει έτσι μέσα στη δεκαετία του 2000 να διεκδικείται ρητά σαν συμβολικό θετικό υπόδειγμα μιας αποφασιστικής στάσης απέναντι στον ντόπιο φασισμό" (English: "starting in the mid-2000s Meligalas is explicitly reclaimed as a symbolic model of a decisive stance against local fascism" -- link)

 * ALT3 ... that left-wing partisans defeated and summarily executed some 700 to 1,100 Nazi collaborators in Meligalas, Greece?
 * ALT4 ... that, after the withdrawal of German forces, left-wing partisans defeated and summarily executed some 700 to 1,100 Nazi collaborators in Meligalas, Greece?
 * Dear Catrìona, many thanks for your review of my nomination and for being very kind in the execution of your duties as a reviewer (For the record, this is my second DYK nomination, my first being this one). I understand your lack of enthusiasm for any of the proposed images and I also see where you 're coming from in suggesting the rephrasing of the primary hook of the nomination. It seems to me that the latter variation (i.e. ALT4) is to be preferred, in the sense that it provides (if only in the form of a hint) valuable information to its reader regarding the approximate time and the military and political context of this fierce confrontation between the ELAS partisans and the Battalionists.

Query: Sorry for the delay. Article was new enough at time of nomination, is long enough, well sourced (AGF for offline sources; checked Google translate for online sources), and neutral. Earwig does not detect copyvio from online sources, and attribution is made to the Greek wikipedia article in the page history and on the talk page. Hooks 0–4 are all short enough, formatted well and supported in the article with inline citations. I personally feel that ALT1 and ALT2 are the more-interesting hooks. QPQ waived for nominator's second DYK. Images are appropriately licensed (public domain and CCA-SA). I don't feel that the graffiti in the third image displays well at 100px. I feel the first image fits the topic best and is just discernible at 100px. Something like (pictured, graves of victims) should be added to the hook(s) if you want this image to accompany them. – Reidgreg (talk) 00:54, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg New reviewer needed for ALTs 3 and 4. Catrìona (talk) 16:09, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svgApproved hooks 0–4, AGF for offline sources. While the image is passable, I expect the editor who assembles the nominations will not choose to use it and so I have not further delayed the nom by writing new hooks to accommodate a (pictured) note. Nominator appears to be on wikivacation since 7 October. – Reidgreg (talk) 13:30, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
