Article length (2941 chars) and age (created Dec 12) are fine. Reliable sources are used, Earwig checks pass (with minor flags for set phrases like "honorary Captain of the King’s African Rifles"). QPQ provided. Hook is good, suggest "the return ceremony of the skull" instead of "returning" though Jpatokal (talk) 00:51, 6 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
- Thanks. So, for the promoter, the modified version would be ALT1 ... that the return ceremony of the skull of Adam Sapi Mkwawa's grandfather was "probably the biggest gathering ever to take place in Tanganyika"? BeanieFan11 (talk) 17:01, 27 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
