- Hi JJonahJackalope, review follows: article promoted to GA on 28 December; article is cited inline throughout to what look to be reliable sources; I didn't find any issue with overly close paraphrasing; hook fact is interesting, mentioned in the article and checks out to source cited; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks fine to me. One query, the background section notes that new employees were on $17.22 and then the "Course of the strike" section states "there would no longer be a two-tier wage system with some employees earning $17.22 per hour". I initially read that as some employees would now earn $17.22 an hour, but I guess it means that new employees would no longer be on the lower rate? Is there a way to clarify this? - Dumelow (talk) 17:56, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
- Dumelow, thanks for beginning this DYK review, I've made a slight edit to that section to clarify. -JJonahJackalope (talk) 03:09, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
