Comment: I am open to more neutral / interesting hooks; I trie to make this one more eye-catching as I've been recently criticized by some, including User:Buidhe (whom I'll ping as maybe he would like to review this) for my hooks being too bland :> --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:49, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

I've found that book hooks are best when they are a pun on the title. Maybe something like

ALT2... that a Generation of Polish Jews joined the Communist movement, but was betrayed after the war?

This would require some additions to the article. b uidhe 04:54, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

@Buidhe: I'd be a bit careful with this pun, as while the author himself uses it, they are also careful to note that only a small part of said generation did this; most Polish Jews of that time generally supported socialist or Zionist parties. Maybe add "a part of" or "some" in front of your hook? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:05, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

ALT2b... that part of a Generation of Polish Jews joined the Communist movement, but was betrayed after the war?
ALT3... that part of a Generation of Polish Jews became Communists, leading to accusations that they "masterminded the enslavement" of their country?

I like ALT3 best. b uidhe 05:11, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

@Buidhe: I think 2b and 3 are fine, I'd just add links to related concepts present in my original hooks. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:23, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

Full review needed now that potential hooks are set. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:19, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall:

The article was new enough when nominated and is long enough (>4,000 chars), and the QPQ looks good. The article's claims are supported by citations to neutral reputable sources independent of the subject, and what I can access online substantially verifies the claims and quotations. The Earwig tool shows no sign of plagiarism from online sources that I can see. Proposed hook ALT0 was over the 200-char limit, so I've trimmed words to get it under. ALT0 is present and cited in the article, and it's supported by the cited work, and it's interesting enough, introducing a non-expert reader to the "Żydokomuna" stereotype. All looks good to me; this article and hook ALT0 are approved. Bryan Rutherford (talk) 21:14, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
