  • Ready for full review. Yoninah (talk) 13:54, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
  • New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. However, I am confused by the article organization. The lead starts out fine but then, in sentences 2 through 7, zeroes in on the handshake with Macron, a discussion which should appear under the "Notable handshakes" section but doesn't. The third paragraph of the lead could be connected to the first line, perhaps with a transitional sentence, to make an adequate lead. Then, the sections "Explanation given by Donald Trump", "Reactions", and "Analysis" are all referring to the Macron handshake again, which makes me think that these should be sub-sections under "Handshake with Emanuel Macron".

  • @Yoninah and Onceinawhile: Split the article into subsections as was suggested. Yoninah, not sure what you meant by "The third paragraph of the lead could be connected to the first line" (what is the "first line" you're referring to?). --Usernameunique (talk) 04:00, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

Since There's been no movement on this, I'm going to step in and approve it. The organizational issues raised by Yoninah have been addressed and the hooks check out and are interesting (I prefer ALT0). --Usernameunique (talk) 02:06, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

  • Sorry, I have been busy with other work for a while. Thank you for pitching in here, Usernameunique. I just did an extensive edit on the article, reorganizing the material and removing the repetition. I think it reads better now. Yoninah (talk) 13:11, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
