Overall: This article looks good, and the hooks are cited and interesting. ALT1 is better imo because hooks that just say "X is famous" aren't that interesting unless they say why. And the GPS is also an interesting way to keep safe. (Note to promoter: although the hook source only mentions one attack on Shevchenko, there are multiple violent incidents mentioned in the article). The copyvio on Earwig is a false positive because of some very long organizational names. Hopefully this can run before Pride Month is over. BuySomeApples (talk) 04:44, 25 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
I'm going to take ALT0, if only because ALT1 is sourced to the company itself bragging about its services and I'm not inclined to give it that publicity. At least, not without secondary sources signaling importance. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 11:45, 26 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
Theleekycauldron Thanks for promoting it for Pride month. It truly doesn't matter to me what hook is used, but for the record, I am not sure that one can treat a human rights NGO providing a service the same as one treats a for-profit company. I had no idea such a service existed (and shared the information with several people I know who might need it, who also did not know of it), but it made me think of all the activists the world has lost because such a service did not previously exist.
