... that the Japanese embassy in Seoul has seen decades of protests, from weekly demonstrations to incidents involving Molotov cocktails, car-ramming, self-immolation and outright ransacking?Source: http://www.latimes.com/world/asia/la-fg-man-sets-himself-on-fire-20150812-story.html and others clearly linked in the article

New and long enuf (barely), but I have a small gripe with the hook -- where's the bit on "downright ransacking"? Also a car is not a truck. Kingoflettuce (talk) 15:31, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Kingoflettuce: From the article: "In 1974 the embassy was ransacked by angry protesters" ref [1]. And as far as I know, a truck is a type of a car...? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 12:52, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
- @Piotrus:@Kingoflettuce: The quote about ransacking looks like it checks out. If we said "vehicle-ramming" instead would that be better? ♠PMC♠ (talk) 21:55, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
- Using "vehicle-ramming" would certainly be better than "car-ramming" if it was a truck that did the ramming; while cars and trucks are both [motor] vehicles, a truck is not a car nor is a car a truck. Of course, the more specific "truck-ramming" could also be used, and sounds far more alarming than with a car. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:48, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

- @Usernameunique: I am totally fine with ALT1 (car->truck). Thanks! --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here
Full review needed now that hook has been set. (Original review only touched on article age and length and hook facts, omitting the many other DYK review requirements.) BlueMoonset (talk) 14:00, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
