All good, article was promoted to Good Article status in a reasonable timespace. I recommend using the ALT0 hook. Still needs QPQ. Regards, Jeromi Mikhael
- @Jeromi Mikhael and Grnrchst: Are we sure Alt0 is fully accurate? The article states that he remained in France because he believed that there would be a revolution following the end of the war. "following the end of the war" and "bring an end to [the war]" are two pretty different things. Krisgabwoosh (talk) 18:55, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
- @Krisgabwoosh: That's my mistake, apologies. The version in the article is correct. Here's a quote from the cited source:
After the Nazi invasion and the formation of the Vichy government, [Volin's] position became increasingly precarious. He went from hiding place to hiding place, living in extreme poverty and in constant fear of arrest. Yet he refused to seek refuge across the Atlantic. He hoped to take part in the coming events in Europe, about which, noted Serge, he cherished a "romantic optimism."29 Two of Volin's comrades, Mollie Steimer and Senya Fleshin, met him in Marseilles in 1941. They begged him to come away with them to Mexico, but to no avail. He was needed in France, Volin insisted, to meet with the youth and "prepare for the revolution when the war is over."30
- I can change this to say either "[...] would follow the end of World War II" or "[...] would follow the liberation of France"? --19:00, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
- I'd go with the latter as, at least to me, the article reads as though he thought the revolution would happen in France in particular. Krisgabwoosh (talk) 19:02, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
- Done. --Grnrchst (talk) 19:03, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

- @Theleekycauldron: I was just making some observations but, as the one who passed the GA, am not authorized to review. User:Jeromi Mikhael is the actual reviewer and it seems they passed it. Krisgabwoosh (talk) 12:14, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Krisgabwoosh: in the interest of time, I'm going to IAR and say that because this is an issue you raised, and it's only about a hook, you should be able to reverse your question tick and reinstate the approval per the original reviewer. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 23:23, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Theleekycauldron:
Sure! No problem. Hadn't realized that I was holding up the nom. All good to go. Krisgabwoosh (talk) 23:47, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
