5x expanded by Bloom6132 (talk). Self-nominated at 07:55, 22 June 2021 (UTC).

Hi Bloom6132, review follows: by my count this is just over a 5x expansion (4650 characters from 919); article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I don't have access to the NYT but I checked against the Publisher's World article, there are some similarities but largely unavoidable (names of organisations, common phrasing etc), I think, and nothing infringing on copyright; hook facts are mentioned in the article, AGF on sourcing from the NYT; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks good to me - Dumelow (talk) 09:45, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

Bloom6132, I changed "would" to "might" in your hook (since the boy hadn't yet received any taunting). Please let me know if that's not okay. MeegsC (talk) 21:13, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
