Earwig is clear. No copy vios or close paraphrasing problems. New article. Long enough. QPQ confirmed. Every paragraph is cited. Hook is distinctly neutral, given the subjects and some of their responses. There might be sexier hooks, but this one works. And this one is supported by multiple on line reliable sources. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 11:47, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
@Feminist: This article needs attention to the referencing of its final paragraph before it can be promoted. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:10, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
- @Cwmhiraeth: modified. Note that I did not write that paragraph. feminist 05:31, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks. I think the paragraph needs a direct citation to source 9 rather than a cited footnote. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:40, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
- Done. feminist 13:37, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
- FWIW, I wrote the paragraph. And there was nothing stopping @Cwmhiraeth: from adding the needed citation. In any event, it's resolved now. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 14:27, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

- Well, I was in the middle of building a prep set at the time, and if I promote this, as I was planning to do, I thought it best to do things by the book in case this controversial article causes any trouble at the DYK discussion page. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:38, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
