Constantin Doncea[edit]

(

)

... that Romanian communist Constantin Doncea made a well-publicized break from prison, finding his way to Moscow and then to the International Brigades during the Spanish Civil War?

ALT1:... that Romanian communist Constantin Doncea, as deputy mayor of Bucharest, ordered the demolition of several statues unloved by the new regime?
ALT2:... that Nicolae Ceaușescu read out the charges that led to the purge of Romanian communist Constantin Doncea, but rehabilitated him after assuming power?

Everything in the article looks to be in order, length, sources, close paraphrasing unlikely since the sources are all in Romanian (although the article could use a little copyediting - everything is very comprehensible though). I like the original hook best. There is the small issue of the DYK rules having that strange provision that the article have a footnote with a reference right after the hook fact. Other than that, this looks good to go.--Carabinieri (talk) 11:20, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

Issue has been taken care of.--Carabinieri (talk) 14:04, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

Starting almost every sentence with a subordinate clause really makes it hard to read. I think the author should do (or ask for) an English-language copyedit before this goes through. Yoninah (talk) 19:26, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

The grammar issue has been adequately addressed. Foreign-language hook ref AGF and cited inline. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 18:21, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
