Review

Review coming up. MX (✉ • ✎) 18:45, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

• A quick note that the "See also"—Containment—should be retargeted to Ulsterisation, the process by which the British government made NI institutions responsible for managing the conflict rather than running it directly. It's not a geopolitical strategic foreign policy pursued by the United States  :) Keep well, ——SN54129 19:33, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

  I don't think it is the same. Ulsterisation says that the other two prongs of the category are "normalization" and "criminalization", this article is presumably what "normalization" refers to. buidhe 20:24, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Sorry for the late review. The article is short but thorough. It is ripe for promotion. Below are a few points needed to be addressed before we promote this to GA. MX (✉ • ✎) 19:34, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

  • Yes, "Great Britain" refers to England, Scotland and Wales: the United Kingdom outside Northern Ireland. The second reference is to United Kingdom as a whole.

Image

• Image is properly licensed. But I tried accessing the link but it is dead. How sure are we this was released by the U.S. federal government? I found this archived version but it is still Ebay.
  • Yeah, that is suspicious. I cannot confirm it either, or find a free image of Maudling, so I removed it.

Other points

• No obvious copyright violations
• Sources are reliable and I found no unsourced material
• MOS layout is fine and article is stable
  • Thanks for the review! I think I have fixed everything. buidhe 20:17, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
