Impact on prisons?

edit

There are lots of articles about Coronavirus in prisons. Shouldn't we be creating a section for that? Kire1975 (talk) 03:34, 18 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

  •   Hi, I came by to promote this, but I feel the hook is misleading. The lead immediately says it caused a decrease in some organized-criminal activities, while providing new opportunities in other areas. I think it would be more effective to write a hook about one or two examples, not to make a sweeping statement like this. Yoninah (talk) 22:47, 16 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • Please also remove the close paraphrasing here:
  • Source: The disruption caused by coronavirus has been quickly exploited by some criminal groups as a 'window' to scale up their activities.
  • Article: The report states that the disruption caused by the pandemic has been exploited by some criminal groups as an opportunity to scale up their activities.

I will make changes to the article soon and suggest alternate hooks as well. Thank you. DTM (talk) 10:55, 18 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
Fixed the close paraphrasing, expanded the article. Just an update, still working. DTM (talk) 11:46, 20 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
I wasn't sure whether to just put one DYK hook or many, but I guess I will go ahead with many since I personally can't decide which one to choose. DTM (talk) 13:51, 22 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
I checked the Polish police hook, it is ok (refs, neutrality, etc.). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:36, 23 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
  •  : Approving ALT1–6 with ALT2 preferred. Everything else checks out, including the copyvio (it shows copyvio from [2] but it was published in May 15 but the text was added in the article before May 15), QPQ done, and neutrally written. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk 14:39, 2 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

The sources listed within the article do come from an array of authors and publications. However, the latest information referenced has not been since April 2020; I would recommend looking for additional/recent information to add to the article.
