- Looks good. Checked all items in review guide, including sourcing, prose, npov, no obvious copyvio, hook quality and conformance. Very well written, good to go IMO. Crum375 (talk) 11:55, 18 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Realising that this boycott took place on 3 February, I have promoted it to a slot for that day. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:56, 2 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
