Plachimada Coca-Cola Struggle
[edit]- ... that adivasi and Dalits in Plachimada, Kerala sparked an international boycott of Coca-Cola that cost the company millions of dollars? [1]
- ALT1:... that Indian indigenous people organized protests in Plachimada, Kerala that succeeded in removing a Coca-Cola factory that was polluting the groundwater with heavy metals? [2]

There are some typos in the article, there are so, "about ($28 million)" doesn't need the word about, and one of the article statements is tagged with a "clarification needed" template. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 13:39, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
- @Catrìona: I note that the article creator hasn't edited since August 15, are you willing to adopt this nomination and make the requested changes? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 03:01, 7 September 2018 (UTC)
- Narutolovehinata5: I believe I've fixed the issues mentioned in the review. Thanks for the review. Catrìona (talk) 03:20, 7 September 2018 (UTC)
- @Catrìona: I'm almost ready to give this a full review. However, the part about the incident being discussed in a BBC Radio show is not cited in the article. A quick Google search does confirm the article fact, but the article fact has no inline reference. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 04:12, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
- @Narutolovehinata5: I'm not sure what you mean. The entire paragraph is cited to the Bijoy paper. I just double checked and it does contain the information about the BBC Radio show. Catrìona (talk) 04:24, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
- I see. I'm using a connection right now that does not have access to the full JSTOR text so I wasn't able to check. I'll check the text again later. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 04:27, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

- I'm not at home right now, but I'm willing to accept the hook in good faith. I can do the full review later. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 06:24, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

This should be good to go. My only concern is the article title: I'm not sure if "Plachimada Coca-Cola struggle" is the right title for the article considering MOS, perhaps "Plachimada Coca-Cola protests" might work better? Either way, this isn't a point against the article in the context of DYK but rather a suggestion. Prefer ALT1 as being more interesting to a broad audience.
