Hi Nick-D, review follows: article cretaed 20 February; article exceeds minimum length and is well written; article is cited inline throughout to limited, but reliable, sources; the link for Clapson (2019) doesn't work for me but I checked Titmuss (1950) and had no concerns about overly close paraphrasing from the source; hook is interesting, mentioned in the article and checks out to Titmuss; a QPQ has been carried out. I really enjoyed reading this article, thanks for creating it - Dumelow (talk) 09:46, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
