  • I think the lead needs more of an introduction. The introduction does not properly introduce the substance of the article. I added a few sentences and a reference and changed the first section to background - the heading, "custom" may be ok, but I have not seen it used before. I think most people will not know about parliamentary rules and so we need to do more to introduce the article. I think the article is interesting and I like the specifics about for instance "baby carrots" and "Nancy's high heels".
    The article was created January 1st, so it is new enough. It is long enough with 2400+ characters. The article is referenced and uses proper inline citations. There is a good use of notes in the article. No copyright violations.
    ATL1 is the hook I approve as the most interesting. Ping me if you are able to improve the lead. Bruxton (talk) 16:20, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I personally don't see the lead as that big an issue, but have lengthened it pursuant to your suggestion. For clarity's sake, are you witholding approval for ALT0? If so, I think that's a shame – it's probably the quirkiest one of the ones I've suggested. Sdrqaz (talk) 17:06, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I have no issue with ATL0 which is supported by the reference. The ATL that made me want to read the article was ATL1. I prefer the lead as it is now and I thank you for the improvement: it presents an introduction of what the reader can expect to learn. Nice job on the article it is well written - and I found it interesting to learn about one of the quirks of the republic... and perhaps one of the reasons for legislative gridlock in the states.

    Thanks, Bruxton, for the quick review and the compliments. Maybe it's just me for the hook choice – now it's up to the promoter. Sdrqaz (talk) 20:58, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral point of view?

[edit]

Kevin McCarthy is vile and I enjoyed seeing this article make him a clown, but it's not even close to neutral compared to how Pelosi's presented. I came to this article from the main page, so this is probably a popular article right now. Unfortunately I don't know the editing protocol well enough to fix it myself. 129.101.212.141 (talk) 04:04, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

When writing the article, I found a lot more coverage of McCarthy's speech compared to Pelosi's speech, perhaps highlighting how journalists like their stories to get clicks. I couldn't find much on Pelosi's speech but could find many pieces about the anecdotes McCarthy had. If you find more on Pelosi's speech, please add it in.
