Mhhossein, there are significant WP:CLOP/WP:V issues with the Hansen 2015 source in the Reception section, and the Der Spiegel source in the "Similar torture cases" section. These paragraphs need rephrasing. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 16:09, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

AirshipJungleman29: Thanks for the note. They just slipped through my eyes. I think the issue is resolved now. --Mhhossein ^talk 07:13, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What you have done is replace a few words with synonyms—in other words, there is no improvement in terms of WP:CLOP. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 09:19, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@AirshipJungleman29: That should be fine now. --Mhhossein ^talk 06:34, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hawkeye7: Thanks for your review. AirshipJungleman29 is not responding to my ping. Can you please re-evaluate the status of the article for DYK? --Mhhossein ^talk 13:00, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I think it is just about acceptable now; it does not need re-evaluation, and is waiting to be promoted. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 13:28, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just got back from Poland. Earwig score of 20.6% looks fine. Good to go. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 04:32, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
