• COMMENT: Better if worded ... ALT0a: ... that Bambang Soesatyo (pictured) lost four elections before being elected to the People's Representative Council of Indonesia on his fifth attempt? David notMD (talk) 01:09, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

• Hi, Juxlos, welcome to DYK! This nomination is new enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced. As all sources are foreign-language, unable to check for close paraphrasing. No QPQ needed for first-time nominator. Image is pd. ALT0a, a rewrite of ALT0, is cited inline; foreign language source is AGF. I'm wondering, though, what you think of this hook?
• ALT1: ... that Indonesian politician Bambang Soesatyo (pictured) reports one-quarter of his assets as luxury vehicles, including two Harley-Davidson motorcycles and ten cars valued at Rp 18 billion (about US$1.35 million)? Yoninah (talk) 23:59, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

• Updated the source for ALT0 with Straits Times for ease. ALT1 seems quite interesting as well, though personally I’m still preferring ALT0 - $1.35M of vehicles isn’t as “interesting” as trying 5 times to get in the parliament, IMO. :p Also, will this still be eligible?

• No problem. Your new cite for ALT0a makes the hook fact verified and cited inline. ALT0a good to go. Yoninah (talk) 00:21, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
