Hi @4meter4: generally fine, just a query about the use of the word "claimed" here. Per MOS:CLAIM we should default to more neutral language, as "claim" carries an implication that what she said might not be true. I have boldly edited the article to that effect and I suggest we change "claimed" to "said" here as well if that's OK with you. Other than that, all looks good with the article, it's well-written, free from plagiarism, referenced, seems to cover all the facts etc. Hook is interesting. I've done some other minor copyedits on the article. Just one other thing – I think you need one more QPQ review according to the template, it says you need 2 altogether due to "unreviewed backlog mode" (I fell foul of the same thing, hence why I'm here!).

I changed it to stated as this was a formal court context per the CLAIM guideline. I'll complete a second QPQ shortly. I wasn't expecting a review this quickly LOL, and thought I had a bit more time to get that done.4meter4 (talk) 18:24, 26 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
