  • ... that Jo Beall, a British scholar of development economics, was once imprisoned for anti-apartheid activism? Source: "As a result of her anti-apartheid activities, Jo was imprisoned and held in solitary confinement for three months." ([1])
    • ALT1:... that ...? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (and [link] the source, or cite it briefly without using citation templates)

  • New enough, long enough, and adequately sourced. Earwig found no copying. The QPQ review is mostly done, but the QPQ review template is complaining of being incomplete (status needs to be filled in) and is not showing a signature. The hook claim is adequately sourced, and interesting enough, but is not actually stated explicitly in the article: the article says she became an anti-apartheid activist and that she was imprisoned, but not that she was imprisoned because of her activism. This sort of quibble is likely to cause complaints and changed hooks later, so better to fix it now. Once these two minor issues are taken care of this should be good to go. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:28, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the review, David Eppstein. I've now clarified the text in the article and sorted out the QPQ template. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 09:06, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
