QPQ: - Not done Overall: @
Mhhossein: Good article however I dont feel as if the hook is all that interesting. It would probably be better to mention that the company was funding IS and Nusra. So could you make a new hook?

@
Mhhossein: I mean, you can make a hook short like that but It would probably be more beneficial to make it a bit longer. Saying that Lafarge was found guilty for crimes about humanity is somewhat interesting but if you where to mention that they were funding the Islamic State than that we be really interesting.

@
Onegreatjoke: Hmm...what do you think the following?
@
Onegreatjoke and
Mhhossein: The NY Times article says "complicit in war crimes", which is not quite the same as "crimes against humanity". Our own
Crimes against humanity draws a distinction between the two. We either need a source which explicitly uses the term "crimes against humanity", or change the wording of the hook to follow what the existing source says. --

You're welcome Roy, please see if
my recent edit matches your demand. Also, do you have any suggestion for the hook itself?
This source writes that Lafarge is the first French firm being "tried in connection to crimes against humanity." Can it be more interesting do you think (also asking the opinion of @
Onegreatjoke) ?--

That looks better to me, but given the history here I'd prefer to leave this for somebody else to take a look at to make sure we get it right this time. --

I'm going to respectfully decline. As has been discussed at length on
WT:DYK, we're swimming in more nominations than we can handle and need to start being more selective about quality. This one has had its chance and we can't afford to keep investing more time in it when there's so many other nominations that need attention. --

Crimes against humanity is a specific legal concept. In order to be included in the category, the event (s) must have been prosecuted as a crime against humanity, or at a bare minimum be described as such by most reliable sources. Most of the articles that were formerly in this category did not mention crimes against humanity at all, and the inclusion of the category was purely original research.
