QPQ:   - missing
Overall:   I've done some copyedits, and I think in that regard it's ready for the main page. I've changed the heading name of the "commentary" section to "analysis", since the other word struck me as odd. Issues that remain are: An undated sentence with a comparison ([...] which is less than the 30% percent previously); I've put a "when" template after it. And ofc, a QPQ is missing. –LordPeterII (talk) 18:49, 30 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

@LordPeterII: Hi, thanks for the comments. Just did the QPQ. I am happy with your changing of the "commentary" section title, but could not find the date for "less than 30%" which I don't think should not be serious for DYK nomination. Mainly because it is supported by a reliable source after all. --Mhhossein talk 06:15, 1 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Mhhossein: Hmm, it wasn't a major issue, but it's a silly thing to have in an article. If we have a statement that something improved or worsened, it only makes sense if we give a timeframe for the comparison. If I were to write "life expectancy in Germany has doubled, compared to before", I can rather think people want to know when that "before" was: The Middle Ages, or the 1990s? ;) Anyway, I followed the link in the Al Jazeera source, and it brought me to the other one where the 30% were written. I put the dates in the article. Since that was the remaining issue, I can
  now approve. –LordPeterII (talk) 19:45, 2 November 2022 (UTC)Reply


Deepening "gabs" to education

edit

I don't know what the intended meaning is here. Perhaps deepening "cuts" to education? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michaelhurwicz (talkcontribs) 02:31, 10 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Pension reform strikes

edit

Hi @Amakuru; Considering that the current page mostly focuses on the economical protests primarily triggered in 2022 then the content you removed can be appropriate for this wider scope page. Also, I think the stand-alone page for the pension reform strikes in 2023, for which we have similar titles, is not enough for the content removal. Mhhossein talk 12:26, 23 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Mhhossein: - thanks for your message. I wouldn't really set it as directly related, though. This was a well defined series of protests in October, specifically about the cost of living, and it sort of fizzled out by November as I understand it. The recent ones are a new set of strikes and protests, about the different (albeit vaguely related) area of pension reform. It seems like this may become a series of protests too, and for which the other article is similarly structured with a timeline and suchlike. I haven't seen reliable sources linking the two as a single series, and I don't see much merit in duplicating information across both, it risks becoming a multiyear patchwork of mostly unrelated things. Particularly so when we already have the wider Protests against Emmanuel Macron article which summarises this and the other one on a single page already.

Thanks for the reply Amakuru. I concur with your words that there should be reliable sources making links between the two sets of protests! --Mhhossein talk 13:30, 23 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
