Operation PBFORTUNE

 * ... that Operation PBFORTUNE, organized by the US Central Intelligence Agency to topple Guatemalan President Jacobo Árbenz, was terminated before it could be completed?
 * ALT1:... that Operation PBFORTUNE, organized by the US Central Intelligence Agency to topple Guatemalan President Jacobo Árbenz, was terminated when the coup attempt became too widely known?
 * Reviewed: Raheem Kassam
 * Comment: I have not provided sources here because the hook is drawn from several, and it would get unwieldy. The hook facts, however, are so central to the article that I don't see issues with it, and I'm happy to dig into the sources for quotes if needed.

 * Symbol possible vote.svg Only thing missing is the QPQ at this point. Promotion to GA was recent enough, article is definitely long enough and there are no obvious copyright issues, though I don't have immediate access to the offline material so most of that is taken on faith. I would also recommend using ALT1 as the hook, but once that QPQ is done you should be good to go.GrinandGregBearit (talk) 21:01, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
 * GrinandGregBearit: Thanks for the review. I've finished the QPQ now, do take a look. Apologies for the delay, my internet has been unreliable. Vanamonde (talk) 05:19, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
