5x expanded by Yue (talk). Self-nominated at 20:12, 13 January 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Yi–Ta incident; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• New enough; long enough; fully-cited and presentable; seems neutral; not a BLP; hook is verified by cited source; neither Earwig nor I think there are copyvios; images are on Commons and appear to be correctly licensed; hook is certainly interesting and effective, if a bit long and literal, but maybe that's the style nowadays.

@Chiswick Chap: It just occurred to me that a shorter hook may be more effective, such as:

• ALT1: ... that from March to May 1962, 60,000 Chinese citizens migrated to the Soviet Union through two ports of entry? Source: Kraus, Charles (June 2019). "Laying Blame for Flight and Fight: Sino-Soviet Relations and the 'Yi–Ta' Incident in Xinjiang, 1962". The China Quarterly. 238: 504–523. doi:10.1017/S0305741018001789. ISSN 0305-7410.

The new claim of "through two ports of entry" is verified by the same source on page 516, which notes Chinese government estimates of emigration through the border cities of Korgas and Tacheng. Do you think this hook might be better? Yue🌙 08:56, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Yes, happy with that! Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:58, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Awesome! Cheers, Yue🌙 19:25, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
