I'll do a full review soon, but right now I have concerns about both hooks: they're not exactly eye-catching or hooky. Like, instead of saying that the creation of the company was controversial, it might be a good idea to include the context for that in the hook. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 02:45, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
- I also have to note that, while you have done a QPQ, as you have less than five DYK nominations, you are not required to do a QPQ (you can still do one of course if you want, it's just optional right now). Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 02:49, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
- I figured it'd be the polite thing to do

ALT2: ... that the creation of the Swedish Levant Company in 1738 was controversial because of a disagreement between the merchants and the Hat Party?--valereee (talk) 13:10, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
- @Valereee and Narutolovehinata5: Oh my gosh I love that one!!! Only correction would be to change
the merchants
toseveral Swedish merchants
because according to the source the merchant elite supported the English model. –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 16:08, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

- ALT2a is really good. I have however seen some typos in the article, for example "At major issue was" instead of "a major issue was". Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:11, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

General: Article is new enough and long enough |

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems |

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation |

QPQ: Done. |
Overall: The article is a great introduction; ALT2a is best. (I've unlinked the year; we don't link dates like that.) Some suggestions:
- Thorough citation is good, but review WP:CITEDENSE; quite a few of your footnotes would be fine merely being at the end of the paragraph.
- You have a tendency to WP:OVERLINK. For example, outside of discussion of economic theory it's usually not necessary to link something like "profit".
- Take care with what you cite. If you cite a chapter in an edited volume, for example, you should be citing the chapter title. (If it's a chapter from a monograph it's not necessary.) The editor of the volume is not an author of that chapter.
- External links to catalogs like Worldcat aren't that useful; mainly link if (partial) access to the text is available.
- Expand the lead; it should summarize what's in the article so it can be a bit longer.
