Caquetá Department

(
)
  • ALT1: ... that the governor of Caquetá Department was killed within hours of his kidnapping in 2009?
  • Source: "On 21 December 2009, then Governor of Caquetá Department Luis Francisco Cuellar was kidnapped after a shoot out with his security; after a number of hours of military searches, his body was found with his throat slit."
  • http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8427582.stm
  • Reviewed: Even though this is the first response to the review, I still request a second reviewer instead of flat-out rejecting. The article was expanded to 3.5x, not 5x, but there are still three days remaining from the beginning of the expansion window (began July 23). If possible, it should he expanded further, or possibly another reviewer throws a bone. As for my opinions on the hooks themselves, ALT0 is alright, but I'd suggest a rewording to distance from the HDI number, as many don't know the meaning of a 0.708 (sounds bad to the uninformed, tbh); perhaps "... that despite its high Human Development Index score, Caquetá Department had a 44.8% poverty rate in 2021?" as for ALT1, I'd suggest mentioning his kidnapping first; something like "that the governor of Caquetá Department was kidnapped and murdered in 2009?"

@Guerreroast: I was going based off of the readable prose size of this version (472) and the current version (3787) did I measure it wrong? I will gladly expand it further if so. Thank you, Mason7512 (talk) 14:22, 27 July 2025 (UTC)
@Mason7512: My fault. I checked the guidelines and you're right. My apologies for not understanding the guidelines too well. The article is eligible, but I still have the aforementioned issues with the hooks, and I'm letting you decide between the edited versions; if you want to edit those or make a new hook, feel free to.

@Guerreroast: Yeah, I think the ALT0 you proposed is good. I was nervous about reaching OR territory by describing it as just 'high' (not stated in source) instead of the specific number (stated in source), but giving insight into what that number actually means is important.

for ALT0; edited form. Roast (talk) 05:25, 30 July 2025 (UTC)
