Irish Fright[edit]

  • ... that the Irish Fright caused thousands of English people to arm themselves against non-existent Irish marauders falsely claimed to be burning and massacring English towns?

  • Article meets newness criterion; prose expanded more than fivefold within the last 7 days. Prose is long enough. Within policy: sufficient inline citations, seems neutral, etc. Hook does not exceed 200 characters. Interesting hook. Wording is slightly redundant; prefer ALT1 that I added.

    • Ergo Sum, your review seems to indicate that the submission is good to go, yet you marked it as not ready. Is there something that still needs addressing? --Paul_012 (talk) 05:59, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
      • No, I was just waiting to see if there might be a discussion on the initial proposal vs the alternative. Ergo Sum 18:23, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
        • In that case, it's such a minor change (just two words), I think this can safely be marked as ready. (Or you could ping Prioryman on his talk page, if you prefer. It's possible he might not be watching this subpage.) --Paul_012 (talk) 19:26, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
  • In that case, I'll go ahead and mark ALT1 as ready to go. Ergo Sum 21:51, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
