Hook comes from article, but citation is to what looks like a blog, not counted as a reliable source. Hook is short enough and interesting. Article is new and big enough. One whole section uncited. Article may not be NPOV. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 07:58, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
- Citation for hook has been substantiated with a conventional source. Unsourced section now contains proper references. A request for specific objections from the editor who prepended a NPOV tag remains unanswered as of present. — C M B J 09:15, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
The new citation looks more reliable, but it does not support the statement in the hook, having nothing to say about the start. The last section now has a surfeit of citations. So all that is left is the hook reliable citation. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:41, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
- Whoops! I was reading an older article from the same author and thought they were the same one. Check again now. — C M B J 09:55, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
The hook reference is now fixed and supports the content. That only leaves the NPOV tagging. User:Arzel claimed that "The article reads like communist propaganda". Hopefully the sourcing or misrepresentation issue is already addressed. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:07, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
