5x expanded—expansion began 93 edits ago on July 31, 2020. Very interesting hook, a legislature begging a TV station not to cancel a show! Never seen that before. Hooked me right away. Within policy—neutral, verifiable (assuming good faith as I lack Newspaper.com sub). More than long enough. All images in article are free content (one public domain, the other, a map, CC 4.0 by Jon698). QPQ done. Ready to go. I changed one word in the hook to make it flow better: made a resolution→proposed a resolution. Psiĥedelisto (talk • contribs) ^{please always ping!} 06:48, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
