  •  Y Article is long enough (7427 characters), new enough (created 27 April, nominated 28 April), and article is mostly within policy (except issue highlighted below). Earwig copyvio says 16.7%, but the only text matches are on names of organisations, so no actual copyvios
  •  ? In the "In foreign legislatures" section, there is no source for France, Spain or the US lacking - none of them are in [8], the only source in that section. Please add sources for this information, or remove it entirely
  •  Y ALT0 and ALT1 are both interesting, short enough, and well cited (figures for ALT0 are in [9] and for ALT1 are in [10]. ALT2 is not at all interesting- people swear all the time- and ALT3 is less interesting in my opinion
  •  Y QPQ done
  •   PinkPanda272 Please can you address the couple of uncited lines of text? Then will be good to go. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:21, 30 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • @Joseph2302: Thanks for the review, I have cited the paragraph in question. It did include information about France, but the piece about the US Senate was taken from a different article that I forgot to reference. You are right about ALT2, it isn't as interesting as the others. PinkPanda272 (talk/contribs) 07:01, 1 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Lords

Are there plans for a similar article on the upper house's experience? Robin S. Taylor (talk) 20:19, 13 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Robin S. Taylor - I guess it might warrant an article in its own right, although currently most news coverage is directed at the Virtual Commons aspect. I am considering writing a 'List of Parliamentary responses to Covid-19' or similar to compile the various situations worldwide (or at least in Europe), so a section of that (if and when I get round to writing it) could be dedicated to Lords coverage if it doesn't warrant a separate article.
