Length looks fine (just), dates work, certainly source. however, the hook itself is source to a collaboratively written blog that doesn't look to me to be a reliable source. Also, lacking quite so much biographical information, are we confident the article is not still a stub? - Jarry1250 [Deliberation needed] 14:49, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
- Size passes DYK requirements, as you note above, which means it is not a stub. Reference-wise, Global Voices Online is a blog, but one them ore reliable side. I'd be open to an alternative hook, if anybody has a better idea. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 16:21, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
- There is no set size for stubs, per guidelines. But in any case I'm not entirely discontent on that point, so I shan't push it.
- Anyhow, I have to say I don't like the citation for the hook; perhaps, since I tried to reference that but failed, it might be better to go for something relating to "In response to his arrest, Tunisian activists organized a series of protests, many of them online (using Facebook and Twitter)."? - Jarry1250 [Deliberation needed] 23:48, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
- I'd be fine with this as an alt, thanks for the suggestion. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 18:10, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
- Shall I suggest then:
- ALT1: *... that in response to the arrest of Tunisian police officer and whistle-blower Samir Feriani, activists organised a series of mass protests using Facebook and Twitter?
- I'd
approve that on good faith (citation #1). - Jarry1250 [Deliberation needed] 19:25, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
I'm concerned that some of the phrasing in this article may be too close to that of its sources. Compare for example "Feriani expressed satisfaction at the decision" with "Feriani expressed his satisfaction with the court's decision", or "he hopes to recover his job" with "expressed hope that he could recover his old job".

- Rewrote those two sentences, I hope they are better now. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 14:58, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
- Yep, better, thanks. Nikkimaria (talk) 03:44, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
- So are we good to go? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 17:16, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
- Yep, better, thanks. Nikkimaria (talk) 03:44, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Time for fresh eyes? --PFHLai (talk) 03:11, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
Time OK, size OK, well referenced, and hook is supported with this article: "The public sympathised with Feriani and he was often described as the first “Prisoner of Conscience” in the post revolutionary Tunisia. " -- Esemono (talk) 03:47, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
