A fact from André Kisase Ngandu appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 23 October 2021 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Congolese rebel leader André Kisase Ngandu criticised his Rwandan allies to such an extent that they were probably responsible for his murder?
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk page or Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
ALT1:... that Congolese rebel leader André Kisase Ngandu criticised his Rwandan allies to such an extent that they probably murdered him? Source: Kisase Ngandu's murder and its reasons are discussed to a considerable extent in the article, with several references provided; Verhoeven, Harry; Roessler, Philip (2016), p. 216, specifically say that the "most authoritative accounts" claim that Kisase Ngandu was killed by his Rwandan allies.
Overall: ALT0 is not approved because it says that the Rwandans definitely killed Ngandu—ALT1 is fine, but it should probably say "might have been", as well as in the article—depends on consensus of sourcing, I guess. QPQ needed. nice work! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 01:48, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Theleekycauldron: Added QPQ. All academic sources I have seen so far concur that the Rwandans killed him, but all also say that the murder was never solved, so the consensus seems to be "most probably killed by Rwandans". However, you are right that it should not just be stated like an undisputed fact. Thus I offer an alternate of ALT0 below. Applodion (talk) 09:32, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

ALTs 0a and 1 good to go, although I prefer ALT1 due to its snappiness and hookiness. nice work! :) theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 09:41, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
