• Educational projects, mainspaced too early (I told the students not to do it, but, sigh...), I hope a few days will be acceptable for a review here, per WP:IAR, in the interest of motivating students to keep contributing after the course is over. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:25, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

• There are some issues with the article, but shouldn't be too difficult to resolve. Detailed review below: Jolly Ω Janner 04:13, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
• Article

1. New Y It was nominated a week late, but I'm willing to put this aside as it seemed a genuine mistake was made.
2. Length Y article is 4,794 at the time of my review.
3. Policy N the following sentence may not be neutral, but it is hard to tell since it is not cited and the language is poor "The Republic of Korea's National Assmelby election operated December 1978, seriously influenced to illegal plutocracy election and election of authority". Furthermore, that whole paragraph lacks citations. Earwig's Copyvio Detector comes up with no issues.

• Hook

1. Format N It's under 200 characthers, but has some language issues. I would suggest "... that the 1979 Bu-Ma Democratic Protests in South Korea influenced the latter Gwangju Uprising and June Democracy Movement?"
2. Content Y The hook is interesting enough and neutral. Its claim is cited inline to a non-English source, which I will accept as good faith.

• Other

1. QPQ Y looks like you are new enough here to not need to review any nominations. Hopefully my review will help you in the future!

• @Jolly Janner: Thank you for the review, did you notify the creators? They are students, and thus unlikely to monitor this page very closely. For problematic sentences, I suggest using {{Copy edit-inline}}.--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 12:57, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

• @Piotrus: I have since notified the students and appropriately labelled the article. Jolly Ω Janner 18:46, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

• Both users have been inactive since 24 December, despite multiple notifications over the article. I think this should be rejected, unless anyone volunteers to resolve the issues. Jolly Ω Janner 06:54, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
