 * Symbol question.svg can we possibly look for a source that confirms his sister's demise was in fact caused by a "terrorist attack"? The source only says "very similar to what happened to the character Aar happened to my sister". The article needs some copy editing though for misspelling and needs wikilink, hence the banner. I can probably help you with that. --Efe (talk) 15:11, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Proposed ALT hook. Newly finished seems not appropriate because its already in the 2015. * ... that novelist Nuruddin Farah's sister died in a terrorist attack, similar to how a character dies in his 2014 novel Hiding in Plain Sight?
 * ✅ Fixed the reference issue with the press release from the Family, lots of other sources: but because they come out of Somalia and other places, not quite up to our WP:RS standards. I like the new hook; typos and such can be fixed by viewers: thats part of the point of DYK, get more eyes on the article, to make all bugs shallow via review by many eyes :) Sadads (talk) 23:44, 26 August 2015 (UTC)


 * I left a message on your talk page. Suggesting this instead.
 * ALT: ... that novelist Nuruddin Farah's sister died in a terrorist attack, similar to how a character dies in his then newly finished novel Hiding in Plain Sight?
 * No more issues now. As to the source, it seems legit though I am not an expert. Thanks. --Efe (talk) 11:22, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
 * That sounds great! And is closer to my initial intention, yes! Its a little more hooky in my mind!Sadads (talk) 13:33, 27 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg Good to go. --Efe (talk) 13:36, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
