Notes

[edit]
  • Not tied to the title, but there are essentially three stories being covered, so its clunky
  • Sourcing notes (not to be construed as suggesting that the sources shouldn't be read in full, but just for help locating where facts are specifically available for verification; most facts are in more than one of the sources, only one listed here)

The article needs to have a focus. Not three foci. I could fix the headline (we've always been more flexible about reviewers changing headlines); the question is whether the lede will then sufficiently match the headline, or could then be made to match the headline with a very small tweak. --Pi zero (talk) 03:19, 19 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
Okay, I've tried something. --Pi zero (talk) 03:31, 19 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

I like the new title. I'm not a fan of the "United States state" construction. Darkfrog24 (talk) 21:27, 20 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
"US state" isn't as bad as "United States state", but I wasn't enthused about using it in a headline, let alone at the start of a headline. It just doesn't feel as succinct as one wants a headline to be. --Pi zero (talk) 21:56, 20 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
