Length and date are ok. However, the hook isn't really sourced (the given reference is a speech in original, using it as ref is OR), and the fact that political parties seek positions is a bit self-evident. There are also other refs that are problematic in terms of OR, for example that the party would represent left of centre views (it is founded by 2 rightwing politicians, btw) on the basis of wordings in a party doc. --Soman (talk) 04:24, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
- I've made the corrections. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 09:39, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
- But the hook is still not properly sourced, the referenced article says nothing about "first official opposition". --Soman (talk) 14:42, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
- Lets try an alt then. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 15:01, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
- ALT1: ... that new political party, NI21 intend to form an official opposition in the Northern Ireland Assembly?
ALT1 needs reviewing to be sure it is adequately sourced, and that everything else is checked (except for length and date, which apparently already have been). BlueMoonset (talk) 01:53, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
confirmed ALT1 in in article, cited, and confirmed by a reference. Short enough. Also article is referenced, by reasonable sources, and appears neutral. QPQ OK. Good to go. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:27, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
