The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,
the article's talk page or
Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
Comment: I would link an article about the
Indonesian mass killings of 1965–66, but these are the political prisoners interned 4-6 years after the killings. Don't seem to see the Buru exiles being mentioned there.
Don't see the hook fact in the article (no mention of "10,000", only "thousands of political prisoners were incarcerated in Buru..."). Source is inaccessible to me, so which one is it? Also awaiting QPQ. Cheers,

Oops, missed this. All seems to be in order now. Article is new and long enough, hook fact appropriately cited and interesting, QPQ done. Cheers!
