I'll review this, comments will be here soon Kingsif (talk) 03:43, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Style

[edit]
  • Lead a bit too long for article length
  • The note on national unions doesn't need to be in brackets
  • 'Planning' would be better titled 'Background'
  • The sentence "Firefighters and the Catalan police served as supportive, improvised order at some protests" doesn't really make sense - improvising order?
  • "Seven Nation Army" should be styled like that ("Seven Nation Army"), not in italics - could also add that it's a song by the White Stripes
  • Some odd word usage (possibly from a direct translation of flowery language) that I've replaced with more common terms
  • Generally good - just the fixes mentioned above

Coverage

[edit]
  • Lead also a bit too detailed - a lot of it could be moved to 'Planning'
  • Coverage suitable and well-managed
  • Pass

Illustration

[edit]
  • Unusual top image (media), but it works
  • Good use of media
  • Pass

Neutrality

[edit]
  • Fine
  • Pass

Verifiability

[edit]
  • Sources look good, and are predominantly English
  • Pass

Stability

[edit]
  • Been stable for over a year
  • Pass
[edit]
  • Media appropriately licensed
  • Check looks good
  • Pass

Overall

Hi @Kingsif, appreciate the review! Believe I've addressed your above points in prose except for the national union parenthetical, which I kept as an aside. Let me know what you think and thanks for your time. czar 15:15, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Czar: I find the lead still a bit too long, even with the wide montage - is there any way to remove one of the paragraphs? Kingsif (talk) 16:27, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Kingsif, done, though I think the lede is weaker for the loss of detail. czar 17:33, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The lead is just an overview, and it still hits the main points - the article body is for all the detail, and I think it's now got a good balance! Kingsif (talk) 17:39, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well done
