Not a review, but considering the publicity he's had since his death, I'm not sure how well this hook works without including the fact that he was killed as a result of actions by the IDF... Frzzl talk; contribs 20 December 2023
Rejecting the nomination as there hasn’t been a response to the concern raised 5 weeks ago. Schwede 66 16:31, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Add photo File:2024 Stanford Palestine encampment - Refaat Alareer Memorial Library.jpg and File:Pro Palestine protest and encampment in Stanford University 20240428 - 42.jpg to the article. Suiren2022 (talk) 00:06, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Suiren2022: it would be more helpful and you're more likely to be successful if your proposal has specific text to put in. anecdotally I see there's many, many places that reproduce his poem. could you say something about why this is a particularly notable example? --Jeremyb (talk) 00:37, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Per Jeremyb above. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 03:22, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
