 * Good evening U|Some Dude From North Carolina. I have been through the list of comments and, in most cases, made the recommended changes. I still need to rewrite the article to reduce the instances of "In [Year], this happened...". I have a few questions about the comments:
 * Changing Wall Street Journal to The Wall Street Journal: In one instance I changed the sentence structure to avoid saying "A The Wall Street Journal editorial ..." which would have sounded odd.

 * additional moneys : The source does use that expression. Merriam-Webster says "in some scenarios, especially when it refers to discrete sums of money obtained from a particular source or allocated to a particular cause, money can be pluralized as moneys or monies, with the latter being the more common spelling".
 * Thanks for the explanation. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 16:08, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Wikilinking Jonathan Watts and Alexander Zaitchik. These only appear in references. The solution I used for wikilinking them may not be appropriate. Are you able to check please?
 * ✅ Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 16:08, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I changed FAIR to Fair. However, the name is an acronym and is capitalised in our article on the organisation as well as in its own literature. Is there a reason why you wanted the capitalisation removed?
 * WP:ALLCAPS Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 16:08, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry to butt in, but WP:ALLCAPS says that acronyms should (generally) be capitalized. Colin M (talk) 20:04, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
