• A big topic, but it looks like it's handled well. New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced. There is some close paraphrasing from the sources:
• Source: Christophe Castaner, the French Interior Minister, said there had been a 36% increase in police intervention for cases of domestic violence in Paris after the lockdown measures were enacted.
• Article: Christophe Castaner on 26 March 2020 announced that said there had been a 36 percent increase in police intervention for domestic violence cases in Paris after the lockdown measures were enacted.
• Source: In Australia, the government said that Google has registered the most searches for domestic violence help in the past five years during the outbreak
• Article: The Australian government said that Google has registered the most searches for domestic violence help in the past five years during the outbreak.
• Source: The total complaints from women rose from 116 in the first week of March (March 2- 8), to 257 in the final week of March (March 23-April 1).
• Article: total complaints from women rose from 116 in the first week of March to 257 in the final week.
• Regarding the hooks, ALT0 is ok, but the "ceasefire" part is hookier. I don't understand why you're writing "after the pandemic"; isn't it still going on? I think the hook should attribute the "ceasefire" quote to the United Nations, but ALT2 does not seem to be worded correctly.
• QPQ done. I'm not sure about the copyright status of the two videos. Yoninah (talk) 19:02, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Three close-paraphrasing issues sorted.(i hope) A minor rewrite for two of them, and a removal for the third. Both videos are tagged on Youtube - 'Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)'. Rephrasing ALT2. "During" and not "after". Yes, a preference for ALT1 and ALT2 over ALT0.

• Thank you, those fixes look good. I put one other piece of text from The Guardian in quotes. Meanwhile, someone has added a section about Albania which includes a dead link. Do you want to keep that sentence in the article? Here is a suggested alt to remove some of the bolding from the ALT2 hook:
• ALT2a: ... that during the COVID-19 pandemic, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres called for a global domestic violence "ceasefire"? Yoninah (talk) 20:03, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

So I checked the Albania source, they seem to be ok now, and I have archived them too just to be doubly sure.

Yes alt2a without the excessive bold is much better. Thanks. DTM (talk) 11:22, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

• Thank you. Close paraphrasing issues have been resolved. Videos are freely licensed. ALT2a verified and cited inline. I added quotes to "ceasefire" in ALT2a because it is an unusual use of the word. ALT2a good to go. Yoninah (talk) 12:22, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

Change to lockdown

Most all the effects discussed in the article come from the COVID lockdowns implemented in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic. I think the article should be changed to reflect that. SonsyEpicMap (talk) 23:08, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
