Thanks! Looking forward. JBchrch talk 05:08, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, all done! I could not find much to improve in this article, I just have a few comments below, but even if you don't make any changes the article still meets the criteria. I'm happy to pass as GA. I was interested to read the article because I have seen people on the Reddit stock forums mentioning this event as a harbinger of doom in the financial system, not sure if they are right but this article at least helped me understand what the repo market is! --Cerebellum (talk) 13:15, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Criteria assessment[edit]

Prose: I had to read some paragraphs a few times to understand them but I don't think that is your fault, this is just a technical topic.
References: Article is thoroughly referenced with high-quality sources.
Coverage: Article provides enough background to be accessible and covers the events in an appropriate amount of detail.
Neutral: Yes.
Stable: Yes.
Illustrated: Yes.

Comments[edit]

Rates hike: I recommend changing this title to "rate increase." Maybe it's just me but the phrase "rate hike" makes me think of the Fed raising interest rates.
The tri-party market involves large, high quality dealers borrowing cash from money market funds. What does "dealers" mean in this and the next sentence? Banks? If so maybe just say banks.
The MMF, in turn, would instruct its custodial bank to make the payment try Treasury. I think this sentence has a typo. Maybe should be "to" or "by" instead of "try"?
Other suggested causes: Per WP:BULLETLIST, "No terminal punctuation is used with sentence fragments." --Cerebellum (talk) 13:15, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much Cerebellum. And thanks for your comments, which I will now implement. Yes, I saw these crazy people on Reddit lol. There was a nice Bloomberg article about it a few weeks ago: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-11-09/what-is-reverse-repo-fed-facility-reddit-superstonk-users-new-obsession. You can access it through the WikiLibrary in case you hit a paywall. JBchrch talk 17:24, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
