Occupy the Farm

(

)

... that protesters have occupied and started to farm a tract of land owned by UC Berkeley?

Reviewed: I haven't reviewed another DYK, but I have <5 dyk noms, so I'm exempt from the review requirement. (Though, helping out with DYK is something I want to start doing in the near future anyway.

Everything checks out. Hook is good, article is referenced and spot checks for plagiarism revealed nothing of concern. Article also seems to be neutral, addressing both sides as appropriate. Good work - hope to see you at DYK more in the future! Moswento ^talky 15:26, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the review :) it's actually a bit out of date because it is a bit of a fast-moving situation, but I'll have it up to date within the next four hours or so. One potential point of concern: the University may end up taking police action against the occupation at some point in the next week; if this happens before it hits DYK, I'll make sure to stop by and get it either updated or pulled from the DYK queue. If it happens while it's on the main page, it might be a bit messier, though. Kevin Gorman (talk) 21:08, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Note from promoter: the article was revised and made up-to-date on that day. If the occupation is ended, the word "have" can be deleted from the hook and it will be accurate. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:27, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
