• Date, size, refs, hook, copyvio spotcheck, all GTG. I do have minor concern over the wording "is now", which might become not true at any moment. Ping User:AirshipJungleman29 for his 2c here. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 13:44, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
  • Yeah, might be a month or more before this appears on the Main Page, and who knows what might have happened by then. Might be best to change to "became" or "became on [date]" or similar. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 13:46, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
  • ALSO, "Samsung was sued by Samsung Electronics Service Workers trade union for stealing the corpse of a dead worker." why isn't the hook about that?????? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 13:48, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
    • I removed this claim that Samsung was sued, because the lawsuit was over union-busting and not directly related to body snatching. I expanded from two different sources, about the context of suicide and body snatching by police. I will see if there are more sources, and a potential hook from that. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 12:14, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
      • AirshipJungleman29 Piotrus I've proposed an alt hook to reflect end of strike, and also argue why focusing on corpse is problematic as a hook. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 23:14, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
        • I see. ALT1>ALT0, then. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:49, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
          • Shushugah the relevant paragraphs of the article need to be copyedited. Also, the article says that a one-day strike took place a month earlier, meaning ALT1 is surely incorrect? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 11:33, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
            • Shushugah has not responded after more than ten days, so I'm marking this for rejection as neither hook is viable. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:05, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Thank you both for the kind reviews and improving the article. The indefinite strike is over and there have been subsequent strikes. Some articles described this as "one" multi-part strike and others as separate strikes. In any case, I'm sorry didn't reply earlier and respect your decision to close. Wish you all a lovely day! ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 18:09, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
