New enough and long enough. QPQ present. Everything looks fine (AGF on the German sourcing, though it seems to say it). This is more a question for the hook promoter since it doesn't affect the actual fact: would rendering "9c" as "9 cents" improve accessibility for international readers? (I think so.)

Thanks for the review, yes could be cents instead of c, my thinking there was perhaps 9c was more intriguing. I also considered linking Eurocent and I'm easy with whatever others think. Mujinga (talk) 13:52, 9 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
"In 2019, demonstrators commemorated the deaths of people as a result of the Hartz IV system"edit

The above statement is currently in the article (as of the time it appears in Did You Know). What is it supposed to mean? As best I can tell, Hartz IV is a government support program. Or perhaps it would be better described as an alteration ("reform") of a government support program which reduced available benefits. My only guess is that the demonstrators believed that this "reform" led to the deaths of beneficiaries or potential beneficiaries by reducing benefits. Whether or not my guess is right, the statement is in need of clarification. As written, the statement is borderline gibberish in English; government programs rarely result in death. (I'm American and my German is awful, so the current citation doesn't do me any good.) I don't mean this as a rhetorical question - the lack of clarity is a problem with the article that should be addressed. CAVincent (talk) 07:02, 21 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
I've rejigged the sentence so it's clearer hopefully. Your guess was right, by the way Mujinga (talk) 12:52, 11 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

The article does not even mention that the later victim produced a knife and stabbed the other police officer... (which is explicitly mentioned in the Spiegel article!) 2003:E7:3F08:C500:8119:F749:4B00:8326 (talk) 23:42, 19 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
