Revolt of the Lash

 * ... that in 1910, Brazilian sailors captured most of the most powerful warships in the Brazilian Navy in an attempt to end the "slavery" they had been put in?
 * ALT1:... that after the mutineer sailors involved in the Revolt of the Lash were granted amnesty, many were discharged from the Brazilian Navy, put in prison, or sent to work on rubber plantations?
 * Comments:
 * Alternative image: File:Sailors of Minas Geraes.jpg.
 * There were a couple weeks between being discharged and getting rounded up, but that nuance is tough to explain in a DYK blurb, and I moved the article to the mainspace in the last few days; it's a 5x expansion.
 * Could be held for November 22nd, the beginning of the revolt.
 * QPQ.

 * Symbol question.svg Article has been expanded 5× in the required time, and is certainly big enough. The first two paragraphs in the background are uncited. Also for the first block quote it would be good to get inline citation on it. Both images look to be public domain and so are suitable.  They look OK when shrunk. Earwig's checker can't cope with the reference format with no online urls and finds no problems, so I will do a separate check. Original hook is in article and referenced. It is an AGF as to whether source says that. Hook0 is short enough. ALT1 is not quite right though, as those put in prison were sailors and not discharged, so changing "and" to "or" or a "," could fix that. Alt1 is short enough now, but close to limit, so it will need to be checked for length if changed. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 00:13, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for this, . I'm just seeing this (I was off-wiki for a bit) but will address asap. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 17:03, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
 * this should be ready except for the blockquote—can this run without that citation? I can confirm that it's accurate, but the translation (as you might expect) is slightly different in the main source I used (Morgan), so I'll type it out and source it then.

 * I expected that a block quote should have some sort of in-line citation att he end to make it clear where it came from Manual_of_Style will apply to this.And Quotations also. I thought it would be easy to put in a reference tag with where this came from. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 03:25, 11 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Now done. :-) Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 20:39, 11 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Citation existence confirmed. Now good to go. Either alt0 or alt1 are OK. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:01, 11 November 2016 (UTC)
