I'll pick up this review. Comments below. Sammielh (talk) 16:54, 2 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks, @Sammielh! I've left replies wherever I didn't do as asked :) theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 21:05, 2 August 2023 (UTC)


 * I've replied in a few places below but I'm happy to promote this to GA. Good work on the article! Sammielh (talk) 10:11, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

Lead and infobox

 * I would put when the account was created in the lead (e.g. "The account was created primarily to post memes")
 * I don't have much experience with internet culture articles but would it be worth putting the actual Instagram handle in the lead?
 * Probably not? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 21:04, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
 * That's fine, I was just thinking how some tv/movie articles include how the title is stylised. Sammielh (talk) 10:11, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Possibly too much detail for the lead, but I would be inclined to indicate who the account has received praise from (e.g. the national press)
 * I'd say too much detail. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 21:04, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Optional but could be worth updating the followers in the infobox
 * Appropriate fair use image

Background, reactions

 * Person of color is linked in the body but not the lead
 * "Dear White Staffers recounted to Politico" I would possibly rephrase to distinguish the account manager from the account
 * "has been treated differently than white staffers by "
 * I would amend "Staffers of color often feel that formal channels of complaint are not responsive to them for some negative experiences, such as frequent microaggressions" as I find it confusingly worded, it seems to imply that only some experiences are not being responded to which I think is different from the source
 * I would change "in the matter" as I don't think it's specific enough
 * The Bulwark is linked twice
 * There's some discrepancy over whether black is capitalised
 * I would consider nothing that the "Rooney rule" is not consistently followed, per the Politico source
 * I would link Capitol South station to Cap South (which is what I assume the post is referring to)
 * I wouldn't be sure about that, but you're probably right. Haven't added to avoid OR, but I'll mull it over. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 21:04, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
 * It's not critical and I agree that it borders on OR, just thought I would mention. Sammielh (talk) 10:11, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Quotes should have a reference immediately following them
 * I'll challenge you to provide a policy source on that? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 21:04, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I originally tried to find the policy source for this when I mentioned it and wasn't able to (no idea who told me this), so happy to drop this point. Sammielh (talk) 10:11, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I believe you're referring to Verifiability, which states that All quotations, and any material whose verifiability has been challenged or is likely to be challenged, must include an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the material. While inline citations can be at the end of sentences, its also alright for them to be at the end of the paragraph. : 3 F4U (they/it) 16:06, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I would be inclined to add in the years for the film and tv show of Dear White People for some context
 * I'm not sure it's necessary, it's just a loose reference.
 * I would put "By the end of January " as it's a new section
 * "Politico the stories reposted by the account"
 * Are there any account statistics or coverage from 2023?
 * No secondary stats that I'm aware of, no.
