Samir Feriani

[edit]
  • ... that Tunisian police officer and whistle-blower, Samir Feriani, became known as "the first 'Prisoner of Conscience' in the post revolutionary Tunisia"?

  • Length looks fine (just), dates work, certainly source. however, the hook itself is source to a collaboratively written blog that doesn't look to me to be a reliable source. Also, lacking quite so much biographical information, are we confident the article is not still a stub? - Jarry1250 [Deliberation needed] 14:49, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
There is no set size for stubs, per guidelines. But in any case I'm not entirely discontent on that point, so I shan't push it.
Anyhow, I have to say I don't like the citation for the hook; perhaps, since I tried to reference that but failed, it might be better to go for something relating to "In response to his arrest, Tunisian activists organized a series of protests, many of them online (using Facebook and Twitter)."? - Jarry1250 [Deliberation needed] 23:48, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
I'd be fine with this as an alt, thanks for the suggestion. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 18:10, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
Shall I suggest then:
ALT1: *... that in response to the arrest of Tunisian police officer and whistle-blower Samir Feriani, activists organised a series of mass protests using Facebook and Twitter?
I'd approve that on good faith (citation #1). - Jarry1250 [Deliberation needed] 19:25, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
