Silver seren (talk · contribs) and Thriley (talk · contribs), I verified that the article is long enough and that there are no plagiarism concerns through the Copyvios tool and spotchecking.
Regarding the hook, "Joan And The Whales" says, "She had been special projects coordinator of Friends of the Earth ...". I will take this as verifying that she left Friends of the Earth to start her own organization.
I checked the Wikipedia article and could not find where it says "left Friends of the Earth to start her own organization". Would you add this to the Wikipedia article or quote the text where it says this in case I missed it? Thank you, Cunard (talk) 09:27, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've added that additional note to the sentence about her forming Project Jonah. Good clarification! Thanks, Cunard. Silver seren^C 22:07, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
