... that American trade negotiator Michael Smith's negotiating style was summarized by a sign at his office door, "This is not Burger King. You either get it my way, or you don’t get it at all."? Source: https://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-trade-negotiator-pried-open-foreign-markets-11638370800

Hi Ktin. I made some edits to the text to improve the grammar, but the article needs a lead section (see WP:LEAD). I don't have access to the WSJ source but Earwig does and doesn't flag up anything closely paraphrased. Sources used look to be reliable. An issue with the hook, you state here "at his office door" but in the article (and source) it says "at his desk". A QPQ is needed - Dumelow (talk) 07:40, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Thanks Dumelow. Added QPQ. Will work on writing the lede later tonight. Will also relook the desk vs door thing. Ktin (talk) 18:35, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your patience Dumelow Lede expanded. Please have a look. Hook language in the article fixed. i.e. door vs desk. Ktin (talk) 01:40, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

Thanks Ktin, looks good to me - Dumelow (talk) 07:01, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
