Lutfi al-Haffar, 1936 Syrian general strike

(

)

... that former Syrian prime minister, Lutfi al-Haffar (pictured), was an active participant and organizer of the 1936 Syrian general strike?

Comment: While the second article (1936 Syrian general strike) is not new, and wouldn't normally count as 5x expansion, the version] that was there was a blatant word-to-word copyvio from the article's entry at Commins' "Historical Dictionary of Syria". The reviewer is free to check for himself. I rewrote it from scratch and removed all copyvio content. So it should qualify under rule A4.

Both articles check out and I'm happy to accept both the offline referencing and also that the second article has been increased 5x once you take into account the removal of the copyvio. However, a QPQ review needs to be conducted per article nominated and there is only one listed. Once a second review is added, this one is good to go. Miyagawa (talk) 12:48, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Good to go. Always pleased to see a double hook that fits together naturally. Miyagawa (talk) 19:14, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
