- New and long enough. Seems neutral & well-written. Both hooks check out. Earwig just pics up a quote. QPQ? Personally I'd start the pics at the top. Johnbod (talk) 16:55, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I came by to promote ALT0, but the sentences containing the hook facts in the article need inline cites per WP:DYK#Cited hook. Also, the page is an orphan; please link it to at least one other Wikipedia page. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 11:07, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: Don't really know how to add an inline citation for ALT1, but I have added an inline citation for the paragraph with ALT0. Also un-orphaned the page. Roniius (talk) 00:44, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you. Restoring tick for ALT0 per Johnbod's review. Yoninah (talk) 10:01, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
United States
[edit]I think that it may be interesting to include information on the North/South divide in the United States, with the South still being considerably more conservative than the North due in part to the impacts of the American Civil War and Reconstruction such as Jim Crow laws and segregation. However, to include this, the page would need sources that specifically refer to this phenomenon as a "phantom border". Would anyone mind helping to find such sources and perhaps help to write a section about the US? Thanks. Di (they-them) (talk) 16:38, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
