I noticed that the anniversary of this event is coming up from 3 March to 5 March. It would be nice to have this on the front page then. The hooks proposed are not overly catchy since many readers will not be familiar with the tactics used in a World War II battle. Juxlos, are you willing to propose other hooks?

- @Flibirigit: Maybe I could describe the tactic instead? So:
- ALT2:... that in the Battle of Leuwiliang, Arthur Blackburn ordered his men to shoot less, so that when they withdrew their Japanese enemies wouldn't realize?
- I think a brief description of who Arthur Blackburn is would help, for example "Australian brigadier". I have also asked at WT:DYK for other comments. Flibirigit (talk) 02:29, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and any of the three hooks could be used, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Date request for 3 March to 5 March, perhaps the 5th would be best. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:27, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
