Overall: 1. I prefer ALT1. 2. DAB Chatham, and inline Portsmouth and Plymouth. 3. Not clear what a mortar boat is, but we have no wp article on it. 4. "in later life" is ambiguous in the image caption - later than what? 5. I think it's fine that the newspaper was likely incorrect, as this is a hook and accurate as to what was written by the paper. 6. I'm partial to the Oxford comma, but not everyone is, so I've not touched that, though I have made some copyedits. 7. I gatjer that the hook is likely supported by the ref following the sentence with the quote in the article, but perhaps it is good form to place the ref at the end of that particular sentence as well, given that it is the hook sentence. 8. I can't do a copyvio check, as the sources are not freely publicly available, so - promoter tell me if the rule is otherwise, - I assume i have to accept that there is no copyvio on good faith. 2603:7000:2101:AA00:D997:A770:F85:5F4D (talk) 04:54, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Overall: Article looks good. My only concern is the hook states that it was while writing the story, whereas the article says he was a victim of an enforced disappearance shortly after ending the story. Thoughts on this? BeanieFan11 (talk) 00:12, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Done. The problem was that I started writing "on the fly", and by logic, if the story is completed (the comic itself is) he must have been kidnapped after finishing it. And yet, it happened a year earlier. I then corrected the article when I realized that and sought sources with more detail, but I forgot to update the lead. As for the proposed ALT1, that doesn't seem like better wording to me. "Murdered" (a public figure by a national government) would suggest something more visible and/or public, like a firing squad execution, and just "disappeared" sounds like a magic trick. A hook should be understood on its own, without any other context at all. "enforced disappearance" is more precise and does not leave space for misunderstandings.

WP:EARWIG did not find any copyvios. QPQ was done. The hook is cited, interesting, and not too long. I'm not sure that the term "curator" is correct in this context. Does one of the sources use it? Or should it be "supplier"? I suggest adding a short description. Phlsph7 (talk) 12:35, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Curator seemed like the closest term to explain what the Royal warrant had her doing. She was in charge of going through and deciding the lighting fixtures and accompaniments for all the lighting in Buckingham Palace (and for any of the Royal's homes that requested it). Supplier would imply she just handed over pieces from her shop, but her involvement seemed to be more than that. How about this, I made some changes to what terms were in the hook, going with the term actually used directly by the reference. Is that better, Phlsph7? SilverserenC 15:04, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good. I was considering whether "was made" should be replaced with "became" but I don't think it makes much of a difference so I'll leave it to your judgement. Approved.

Article was created on time and is free from close paraphrasing. The hook is cited inline in the article, meets DYKINT, and is verified in the source. The statement about structures being wrapped in protective foil is not stated by text in the source, but pictures are shown which do show foil, so that works for me. Several statements cited to the Wenatchee World article are not in the current version of the article, such as the mention of Team 13. In addition, the article says that the fire may have "originated from a human-caused structure fire", but The Seattle Times only mentioned that the fire was "human-caused" with no mention of structures; the sentence also uses the Wenatchee World as a source and that too does not mention a "structure". A QPQ has also yet to be provided.

  • Comments: ALT0 isn't accurate. In the source article, Samar Haddad says (translated into English): There's a trend towards making PDFs of books available as free downloads on websites. We publishers are directly affected because it's a lost opportunity to sell a book, but there's not much we can do about it. I once chatted with a young man who has a Facebook page, with a funny name in Arabic [Abu Abdo the Mule], that distributes free PDFs of books. (...) I know people who have stopped reading free copies after we've explained to them that they're harming us and the authors too. But such understanding people are rare. The thing that hurts the most about the subject is that people easily save money to buy stupid things, but not books. She says nothing about the low number of books getting published because of that. BorgQueen (talk) 19:07, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments: I've reworded ALT1. The Al Jazeera news article supports the war and torture part; while it mentions the threat of imprisonment the poets are facing, it doesn't explicitly say imprisonment is a source of inspiration. In addition, the source talks about contemporary Syrian poetry, which is only one aspect of the national literature, so I added "partly". BorgQueen (talk) 19:27, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
