Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
Interesting:
QPQ: Done.
Overall: I think a more general name for the article, such as "
Railroad sabotage during World War II", might be better... but that is not part of the DYK criteria. Suggesting alternate hook below, preferring a paraphrase to avoid distracting quote marks. buidhe 09:40, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
ALT1 ... that railroad sabotage was one of the most common forms of resistance against German occupation during World War II?

Buidhe: I am fine with ALT1 but I think the term battle is more interesting, particularly for the DYK, so see ALT2. I am also fine with starting a RM on the talk. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|

I know that "battle" sounds more dramatic, but longer hooks are inherently less hooky imo. buidhe 03:35, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
Although the hook probably should not be promoted until the RM is closed. buidhe 04:25, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
The move discussion has closed and I have updated this template to the new page name:
Railway sabotage during World War II. I'm wondering if the whole title should be used in the bolded links for ALT1 and ALT2, since this is not a general article about railway sabotage.
