Nelson Mandela

• ... that at a 1999 performance of Savuka's anti-apartheid song "Asimbonanga", former South African President Nelson Mandela (pictured) danced on stage?
  • ALT1:... that mixed-race band Savuka were often in trouble with the South African police for playing their anti-apartheid song "Asimbonanga"?

Image eligibility:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: I prefer the original hook (not ALT1) and I'd recommend that the image isn't used on the main page as it doesn't add to the hook (if it were a picture of Mandela on stage that'd be different). Added to that it's not used in the articles. @Vanamonde93: are you happy with not using the image? Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 05:29, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

• @Callanecc: I'd forgotten about the "used in article", my apologies; though it would be easy enough to add it, and I will do so now. I agree that it is not critical to the hook, and so would be fine with running the original hook sans image. Vanamonde (talk) 14:28, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

• Thanks Vanamonde93. I still prefer the original hook (not ALT1) without the image. But the image can be used if desired. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 00:35, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

• Sorry Vanamonde93, I just saw WP:DYKSG#H4, so you do need the second QPQ. Apologies, Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 05:13, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

• @Callanecc: Yes indeed I do; I've just gotten back from a break, and am working through my backlog. I've added it now. Vanamonde (talk) 06:28, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

• Thanks again. This is good to go, see comments above. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 06:43, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

As this seems to be a 2 article hook, I have added the extra credit on promotion. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:25, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
