Reviewing... Thebiguglyalien (talk) 05:46, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Nominated a few hours after the 7 day deadline, should be fine.
- The article is definitely long enough, the sources appear to be very high quality, and no copyvio detected.
- I do have concerns about the hook's source. First, I didn't see where it supported the claim. But more importantly, the source is 12 years old and can't be expected to give an accurate picture of the situation today. You're either going to need a new source or a different hook.
Vigilantcosmicpenguin, the article is in good shape, but the source isn't sufficient for this hook. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 06:03, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oops, I accidentally copy-and-pasted the URL for the wrong source.
- Source: [2] Although Zambia has among the most liberal abortion laws in sub-Saharan Africa, as many as 70% of the country’s abortions are considered “unsafe,” according to a 2016 study in Social Science & Medicine, an academic journal published in the Netherlands.
- This source is from 2022 and supports my claim. Although I'm now thinking it'd be better to phrase the hook as "unsafe" rather than "illegal" since that's what it says in the article.— Vigilant Cosmic Penguin 🐧 (talk | contribs) 15:48, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, that source should be fine. And unsafe is probably more accurate, because it also seems to include legal but "substandard" facilities. Do you have any thoughts about alternate wording for the hook? I'm not sure if "unsafe providers" is the best way to describe it. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 20:02, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- I would phrase it as
- ... that even though abortion is legal in Zambia, most abortions are performed unsafely?
- That should more precisely reflect what the source says.— Vigilant Cosmic Penguin 🐧 (talk | contribs) 21:10, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
Works for me. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 21:21, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
