Shinjuku riot

  • ... that in 1968, anti-Vietnam War protesters occupied Shinjuku Station, causing the equivalent of US$18 million in financial losses? Source: Andrews, William (15 August 2016).

Improved to Good Article status by Roniius (talk). Self-nominated at 13:14, 14 September 2021 (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
  • Cited: Yes - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
  • Interesting: Yes

QPQ: No - Has not been completed.
Overall: I'm not sure whether USD is the best option for currency in the hook, as that seems to me a little US-centric for a protest happening in Japan about something else that was happening in Vietnam, but if that's what's given in the hook's source, I suppose it's not a big deal. Good to go pending QPQ completion. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 04:17, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

The USD figure is probably fine provided wording that goes something like "the equivalent of" is used, since it happened in Japan and not the US. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 03:01, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
@Roniius: It's been 10 days since you said you'd do a QPQ. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:51, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
@Roniius: could you amend the hook slightly to take into account the suggestion by Narutolovehinata5 above ("the equivalent of US$18 million...")? PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 06:19, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
  • Don't see why it's needed, honestly, but done. Roniiustalk to me 06:43, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
QPQ has been added and hook has been updated, so we're good to go. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 14:36, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
