  • Thank you for your work on this interesting and important topic. A few comments:
  • Maybe add this link, which is more definite about the location of the 2013 meeting: http://uswcweast.wordpress.com/2013-meeting/ (I think that's the page that was intended for the citation anyway.)
  • Do these forums have critics? The article is a little one-sided now. (However, it is understandable that many of the sources that choose to cover these events will have positive feelings about them from the get-go.) Any coverage from established news sources, and not the organizations involved themselves, would be welcome. (However, notability is established, in my view.)
  • The lede reads a little like an advertisement. Also, do these events give voice to all "those who are traditionally excluded"? Should it read "women who are traditionally excluded"? "women, who are traditionally excluded"? Big claims, and big differences between them. Not impossible to make in an encyclopedic fashion, but I don't think it's there now.
  • The hook is pretty good. I might suggest ALT2 ... that the 2013 World Court of Women Against Poverty in the United States will be held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania?" — just to improve readability a little. However the hook is not confirmed and the article makes no mention of
  • Full review needed. (No edits have yet resulted from the above comments, though notification was placed on the nominator's talk page. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:48, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
I will say that alt 1 is better. However promotional nature is a reason to not have this, bit I will check the other requirements. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:36, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
Article is big enough, Article was moved to main space 6 days and an hour before nomination, however I think that we can relax the 5 day requirement for this. Referencing is pretty light on, but at least each paragraph has a reference. However the hook is not in the article, the article makes no mention of Pennsylvania. Only some place called "PA" what does that mean? Also plagiarism is found from https://grants.globalfundforwomen.org/GFWSearch/index.php?id=7157 Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:52, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
  • I have tried to fix the close paraphrasing concern, and standardize the place names. How about ALT1 above? I don't know where PA is either, but everyone knows where Philadelphia is. Or if they don't, they can click the link. Aymatth2 (talk) 14:15, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
  • OK this gets my tick now as hook checks out, and PA is no longer there! Good to go with the ALT1. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:50, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Which ALT1? The original, or the one proposed by groupuscule? (It might help to renumber the latter and specifically comment on it.) Just so folks know, "PA" is the standard abbreviation for "Pennsylvania" here in the US; it's the two-character postal abbreviation for the state. The longer ones, like "Penna.", are rarely seen nowadays. I do agree that "PA" should not be used on Wikipedia as a substitute for Pennsylvania. BlueMoonset (talk) 13:05, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Sorry I missed that there were two alt1s I have renumbered so that ALT2 is the approved one. I am just trying to embarrass our US writers that use PA or other codes that are well known in one country! So please don't take me too seriously, I want to get these kind of abbreviations away from Wikipedia too!
  • OK this gets my tick now as hook checks out, and PA is no longer there! Good to go with the ALT2. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 04:32, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Thanks. I'm a US writer, but not easily embarrassed (but that's because I don't use postal abbreviations in encyclopedic text). ;-) BlueMoonset (talk) 04:47, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
