- ... that American teacher Marc Fogel was sentenced to 14 years in Russian prison for possessing a small amount of marijuana, but has gotten little public attention compared to Brittney Griner? Source: “In May, the State Department determined that Griner was being “wrongfully detained,” a designation that established the legal basis for her release this week in a one-for-one prisoner exchange for Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout.Fogel, by contrast, has garnered little public attention. The State Department has not granted him “wrongfully detained” status, despite repeated appeals from a bipartisan group of lawmakers and Fogel’s lawyers.” Politico
Created by Thriley (talk) and Patapsco913 (talk). Nominated by Thriley (talk) at 07:35, 16 December 2022 (UTC).
- Thriley:
- general: article is new enough and long enough.
- policy: article is sourced and neutral. earwig returns a 41.2% similarity rate with the sportsgrail source, which appears to have been published on the same day that this nomination was made, so it is likely that the sportsgrail copied from wikipedia without attribution. earwig shows nothing else of concern.
- qpq: provided.
- hooks: hook is under 200 characters, interesting, accurate enough, cited, and neutral. technically, fogel was sentenced for drug trafficking rather than marijuana possession, but attempting to make this more clear within the limited space of a hook may end up leading to more confusion.
- points outside of the dyk criteria:
- the article was tagged as a stub when the prose consisted of only two sentences, but i think the tag no longer applies.
- the washington post source mentions that fogel was "home in Pennsylvania for the summer break in 2021", so i am not sure if he has been living in russia since 2012. the cited time source states that he had been working in moscow since 2012, but does not appear to explicitly state that he had been living there since 2012 as well.
- would the article on hostage diplomacy be an appropriate target for the "wrongfully detained" link?
- the second instance of "wrongfully detained" is enclosed in curly quotation marks, contrary to mos:curly.
- the cited time source appears in the list of references twice.
