Overall: Article is new enough and long enough (tool notwithstanding, given that it reads the geolocation poorly). Copyvio tool shows no issues. Couldn't quite read the clipping, so AGF there. I am not sure on the hook fact, however. Signing a petition for something is not necessarily being against something else. If the source supports the petition actively opposing ECK, great, the article should reflect that. If not, we need a new hook.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 19:33, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

• • @Crisco 1492: would swapping "thousands" to "hundreds" be acceptable, referring to the first petition? ~Darth Stabro^{Talk • Contribs} 14:11, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
    • Yes, that would be good. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 14:16, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
