  • Hi Ktin. I made some edits to the text to improve the grammar, but the article needs a lead section (see WP:LEAD). I don't have access to the WSJ source but Earwig does and doesn't flag up anything closely paraphrased. Sources used look to be reliable. An issue with the hook, you state here "at his office door" but in the article (and source) it says "at his desk". A QPQ is needed - Dumelow (talk) 07:40, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Ktin, looks good to me - Dumelow (talk) 07:01, 19 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not waiving but waving?

When Michael Smith 'waived' a plane ticket, did he actually phone up and cancel it from the negotiating table, or was he merely 'waving' it in their faces? I don't have a WSJ subscription to check. --Verbarson talkedits 00:17, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
