  • Reviewed: N/A (only second DYK)

Created by Vahurzpu (talk). Self-nominated at 04:54, 29 May 2021 (UTC).[reply]

  • Long enough, created within a week of nomination, passes Earwig's detector with flying colors, and the second hook is acceptable, although I propose a bit of modification to it. (All the sources are offline, so WP:AGF.) The first hook is inaccurate: it should read "long debate", according to the article. Also, the second sentence in the Enactment section isn't sourced (and possibly the first should be too). Other than that, it looks good to go.
  • ALT1a: " ... that while France abolished slavery in 1794, Napoleon reinstated it in 1802? Clarityfiend (talk) 04:58, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Clarityfiend: I amended ALT0 (another one of the sources had a very similar quote without that modifier) and clarified the sourcing in the Enactment section. I agree ALT1a is better than ALT1; no preference on that vs. ALT0. Vahurzpu (talk) 05:27, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
