• I think many people don't even know that France's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is under the Arc de Triomphe, so how about a hook based on that?

• ALT3 ... that France's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is under the Arc de Triomphe in Paris?

Overall: @Fayenatic london and Brianalexherrera: Good article but there needs to be a lot more citations before this can be approved. Onegreatjoke (talk) 18:29, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

• Thanks for the assessment. I have added some citations and removed some other info that was uncited. Does the lead section need citations to be repeated within it from the full details in the other sections? – Fayenatic London 20:08, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
  • @Fayenatic london: No, unless the claim is controversial. See MOS:LEADCITE. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 05:53, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
    • Marking for closure. Issue has not been resolved. SL93 (talk) 02:36, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
      • @Brianalexherrera and Fayenatic london: Please delete/source the citation tagged paragraph and the unsourced paragraphs in the Choosing the Unknown Soldier section if you would like this to progress. CMD (talk) 16:08, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
        •  Done I added a missing citation for the president of the association for the flame, and removed/replaced material in "Choosing the Unknown Soldier" to correspond to the content of the Verdun website. – Fayenatic London 18:01, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
          • I trimmed the remaining. Per the initial review on the other aspects, passing AGF for ALT1 and ALT3. I have struck the others. CMD (talk) 01:25, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
            • Thanks – sorry, I hadn't spotted that there was another cn tag. I would go with ALT3 – it's better as well as shorter and simpler. – Fayenatic London 10:12, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
