General comments

• Photo used is relevant and available for use
• No stability concerns in the revision history
• Earwig's copyvio tool is not working for me at the moment, so I am assuming good faith based on previous GA reviews and some spot checks
• This is a general question more than anything. Your strike articles often include some section on long-term impact; it has been five years since the Jim Beam strike, so are there any more developments we can pull from that? I wouldn't include the 2019 warehouse fire, since that was an act of God, which is why I am asking in curiosity.
  • Unfortunately, I was not able to find much information on the long-term impact of the strike from any reliable sources, but if I do, I will be sure to update the article accordingly.

Thank you for your patience. Putting on hold now. — GhostRiver 17:19, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

No worries on the long-term impact; you can't be expected to include information that doesn't exist. Passing now. — GhostRiver 15:35, 28 December 2021 (UTC)

• Hi JJonahJackalope, review follows: article promoted to GA on 28 December; article is cited inline throughout to what look to be reliable sources; I didn't find any issue with overly close paraphrasing; hook fact is interesting, mentioned in the article and checks out to source cited; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks fine to me. One query, the background section notes that new employees were on $17.22 and then the "Course of the strike" section states "there would no longer be a two-tier wage system with some employees earning $17.22 per hour". I initially read that as some employees would now earn $17.22 an hour, but I guess it means that new employees would no longer be on the lower rate? Is there a way to clarify this? - Dumelow (talk) 17:56, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
  • Dumelow, thanks for beginning this DYK review, I've made a slight edit to that section to clarify. -JJonahJackalope (talk) 03:09, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

Thanks JJonahJackalope, all good - Dumelow (talk) 07:40, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
