Palacio Municipal de Caracas[edit]
- ... that the edifice (pictured) was the focal point for the Constitutional Convention and signing of the Declaration of Independence of Venezuela in the nineteenth century, hence known as the "cradle of independence”?

It's new, it's long enough and it's well-sourced. Picture is free. My only quibble is that I don't think the hook should have a pipelink hiding the name of the building. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 23:38, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
- Piping is an acceptable rule in DYKs which helps in limiting the ch size to leas than or equal to 200ch. In this case also it was piped only for that purpose. However, since you have made an observation, I have redrafted the hook incorporating the name of the article in full and limiting the hook length to just 200ch and is presented below.--Nvvchar. 00:58, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
- ALT1 Hook ... that the venue of Constitutional Convention and signing of the Declaration of Independence of Venezuela in the 19th century was the Palacio Municipal de Caracas (pictured) and known as "cradle of independence”?
I didn't think it was unacceptable, and if you'd prefer the original version, I'll be happy to sign off on it - I just didn't know if it was a mistake when you made the link. Either hook is fine. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 01:08, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
