... that British barristers are on strike to protest against underfunding in the criminal justice system?
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Nick Goiran
- Comment: "strike" is not entirely accurate since it's more like they are working to rule, but most of the sources use it, and I don't think "industrial action" is likely to be understood

Comment: Buidhe, I think that ”protest against” would be better UK English than ”protest”. I have done some similar UK English edits to the article itself. TSventon (talk) 14:16, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

. Nominated same day it was created! Long enough. Earwig says copyvio unlikely, spot check of matching text gives direct quotes, attributed correctly. Hook is short, neutral, and to the point. QPQ is done. So, only pause is the use of the word "strike" – could keep hook as is IMO, since that is how the media often refer to it (per cited sources), but the wording did strike me as odd in the first paragraph, so I've added quotation marks there as a quick solution. Other concern is whether there will be any new developments to be added before this article is published on the main page, but trust that if so, Buidhe will update accordingly.
