New enough and long enough. No QPQ needed (fewer than five credits). Hook fact checks out to Hasegawa 2003 and is in article and is interesting and (presumably) underdiscussed as a topic. @Riverhugger: The paragraph ending in "Both territories remain part of Russia's Sakhalin Oblast today, although there remains an ongoing dispute over some of the Kurils." needs an inline citation at the end of it. Please ping me when you have addressed this issue, as it will then be approved. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 02:33, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
- @Sammi Brie: I found a source in the Kuril Islands dispute page that verifies that information and inserted it into the new article. Take a look.
Thanks Riverhugger. I didn't get your ping because a message with a ping must also include a timestamp, but the new source fixes the inline cite issue and covers that paragraph well. Approval granted. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 09:30, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
