- Seems strange that we didn't have an article on this until now. Anyway, the article is new (May 17), long enough (2,288 bytes of prose per Wikipedia:Prosesize), and meets the core policies/guidelines. Both hooks pass merit as well. For obvious reasons, #2 is more incendiary and is likely to get more attention. Muboshgu, I added "[the US]" to hook #2 to make it clear what country we're talking about.

- Small addendum, Muboshgu: three citations need proper titles. I added two titles where I could see them despite the newspapers.com blurring done when a person doesn't have a subscription, added proper newspaper vs. publisher vs. "via" formatting, page numbers, and converted the news citations to {{cite news}}. (Please don't input newspaper.com citations automatically in the future—that was a lot of work!) Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 04:46, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
- The ed17, yes, I have to finish fixing up the citations. I didn't expect you to do any of that! I personally find it easier to run it through Reflinks and then fix it after. I'll try to do that and QPQ today. And I'm adding a link to Alt 1. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:06, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
- And I'm adding Alt 2. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:18, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks, Muboshgu! Still waiting on the QPQ. :-) Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 18:03, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
