A fact from Labour Party of Scotland appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 9 July 2017 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

"Former SNP leader, William Wolfe has stated that this breakaway was more to do with local personal political ambition than over any ideological dispute." - well he would say that, wouldn't he? He's partisan in it. What's the real story here? --MacRusgail (talk) 17:12, 4 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
This looks like an interesting article and has been ably put together. I'll give it a review, if I may. Midnightblueowl (talk) 18:41, 26 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
At various points in the article, sentences switch from referring to the party as an "it" to "they". That needs some form of standardisation (preferably to the former). For instance, we have "they are perhaps best known" rather than "it is perhaps best known", and later there is "they were broadly left-wing ". Midnightblueowl (talk) 18:48, 26 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
Done.
" 'Labour Party of Scotland' " - cut the single quotation marks. I think maybe this could be done in a better way. Perhaps something like "It modeled itself on a separate, Glaswegian group that had been founded in 1971 and which had also called itself the "Labour Party of Scotland"." Do you think that an improvement? Midnightblueowl (talk) 18:48, 26 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
Done.
This is not essential for GA, but I wonder if it would be worth putting the years of activity in that very first sentence. Something like "short-lived political party in the United Kingdom that was active between the early 1970s and 1973". That gives the reader an instant appreciation of the time frame that they are dealing with. In turn, we could be rid of the "short-lived" piece, and in its place put "Scottish nationalist"?

Many thanks for the review Midnightblueowl, not a massive article I know, but I'm glad you found it interesting. Curlymanjaro (talk) 23:51, 26 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
Great stuff, Curly. I see no impediments to this being promoted as a GA. Midnightblueowl (talk) 10:41, 27 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
