Hi Wasted Time R, review follows; article created from redirect on 12 February and exceeds minimum length; article is well written and I didn't pick up any overly close paraphrasing from the sources I could access; sources used are reliable and citations are inline throughout; hook is interesting, mentioned in the article and checks out to source cited; a QPQ has been carried out. My only comment is whether it would be better to use The News World in the hook as this was the name of the newspaper at the time of the strike. Happy to leave that decision to you and/or the promoter - Dumelow (talk) 09:15, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Dumelow: Thanks very much for the review. I thought about using the earlier name, but decided the later name combined with 'fifteen-year existence' was accurate and also sounded more like a newspaper name and thus was better on irony/hookiness grounds. But I'm okay with the earlier name being used, so as you suggest the promoter can decide. Wasted Time R (talk) 11:57, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
