Everything seems to check out with this one: new & long enough, no overt NPOV issues, no obvious copyvio, hook is interesting, QPQ done... I'm just going to assume good faith on the numerous offline sources. Cheers, --Kingoflettuce (talk) 08:15, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Could we work in the "Unsung heroes procession: activists, whistleblowers and muckrackers" quote? The hook comes across as a little routine at the moment. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 03:33, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

theleekycauldron I think that seems too long and sounds awkward. That also goes if I'm reading it correctly with the mistakes. SL93 (talk) 20:58, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough, I suppose i'll approve your version :) theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 20:54, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
