Protesters handcuffed together

... that protesters against the Line 3 oil pipeline handcuffed themselves together (pictured) at an Enbridge pump station? Source: "Elizabeth Claggett-Borne, 55, of Cambridge, Massachusetts, sat in a beach chair perched in front of a boat blocking the entrance to the work site. She was equipped with a homemade device made of rebar, PVC pipe and handcuffs, in order to make it more difficult for authorities to remove her from the site."

New article, substantial in size. It's a controversial subject but the article appears to be written neutrally. Sources are throughout, including citing the hook fact, which is interesting enough. Image inline demonstrates the hook well. Earwig is happy, says "violation unlikely". Waiting on QPQ. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:44, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Gobonobo a QPQ is still required for this nomination, please provide one as soon as you can. 18 days is a long time to not provide a QPQ. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:05, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Muboshgu, the nominator has added a QPQ above; you can continue the review when you're ready to. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:52, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I forgot to watchlist this nom. QPQ provided, checkmark given. – Muboshgu (talk) 02:19, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm surprised to see this article is rated B class across a number of projects, as the overall tone from the outset gives off a pretty strong impression of violating NPOV (mostly through use of terminology and choice of emphasis). It could benefit from a style/tone rewrite, without altering the content per se. 108.175.233.87 (talk) 01:10, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Indigenous women and two-spirit people have led the resistance to the construction of the pipeline, which began following the project's approval in November 2020." That is the way progressive activists talk (the usage of the word resistance; a heightened focus on intersecting "marginalized" identities), not an encyclopedia. Also, the category "Environmental justice", among many other examples. People are entitled to their views, but it is a complete violation of NPOV to talk in the way activists and Twitter users talk. 2600:1700:FB20:2EB0:8D6B:744E:111A:278C (talk) 21:31, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
