Comment: Left hook vague by not linking House of Representatives
Created by

The hook needs work, to be honest. First, the vagueness (which is apparently intentional) feels like a bad idea and will likely result in a one-way trip to ERRORS. Second, the hook seems to cram two hook facts at once. Why not simply something like "While serving his second term in the Hawaiian House of Representatives, Pius F. Koakanu was beaten by rioters"?

ALT1 ... that while serving his second term in the Hawaiian House of Representatives, Pius F. Koakanu was beaten by rioters?
@
KAVEBEAR: Sorry for the late reply. ALT1 is nice and I'm willing to approve it by itself, but as another possible option, perhaps you could add some context to the hook on why he was beaten up? Something like "Pius F. Koakanu was beaten by rioters as a result/because of...".

ALT2 ... that while serving his second term in the Hawaiian House of Representatives, Pius F. Koakanu was beaten by rioters because of his support for King
Kalākaua?
ALT3 ... that Hawaiian legislator and nobleman Pius F. Koakanu was beaten by rioters because of his support for King
Kalākaua?
I suppose either works, but it appears that the nuances aren't as great to those unfamiliar with Hawaiian history. Suggest tweaking both hooks further.

Seems fine to me. The article itself mostly meets the DYK requirements and I'm ready to approve this with ALT4, the only thing is that there doesn't seem to be a link to the election's article in Koakanu's article.

Thanks. Strange though, turns out the link was actually a redirect (could have sworn it was an actual article when I read it, though I could simply be misremembering things). I've checked though the source used and the hook information is verified, so I don't think there are no more issues here. ALT4 good to go.
