General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Although the hook is about an ongoing event, the article is neutral and cited often. Would be nice if the hook mentioned the protest takes place in August to show recency and therefore encourage more readers to the article but nonetheless a great hook imo. --A. C.

@A. C. Santacruz: I think I won't make that change as the protests will carry on into next week and "August–September 2021" makes the hook a bit of a mouthful, but thanks for the (very speedy) review! — Bilorv (talk) 21:20, 27 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Oh! I didn't notice @Bilorv! Thank you for the fantastic article on such short notice. It's always great to have up-to-date articles on the fight on the climate crisis. --A. C. Santacruz ⁂ Talk 21:26, 27 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
