Hi Buidhe, what an interesting article; created 4 November; exceeds minimum length; well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't spot any issues with overly close paraphrasing; the fact that all bar one of the senators were isolationists checks out to McMillan p279, the "war propaganda" target comes from the name of the committee; possibly the hook should state US senators, though maybe it is considered that the mention of Hollywood implies this - I will leave it up to the hook promoter; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks good to me - Dumelow (talk) 06:55, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
