... that the Seattle riot of 1886 resulted in the removal of over 200 of the city's Chinese immigrants?

The information in the hook is disputed. Some say 150 immigrants, others say 200. You can take care of the issue by adding the words "up to" before 200. Also, here are some close paraphrasing concerns goin on here (ref 9, ref 8, ref 5d, ref 5c). At 5b, there's a claim concerning martial law that is not backed up by the sources. 5a makes a claim about $150,000. That is not backed up by the source either. There's probably more. Please rewrite this article. In some spots it needs citations, in others it engages in close paraphrasing.—♦♦ AMBER^(ЯʘCK) 16:44, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

I just found out this article appeared on DYK before (in 2007) and is therefore completely ineligble to be featured again. I'm closing this down.—♦♦ AMBER^(ЯʘCK) 16:47, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
