Lawrence Milner

• ... that in 1939, Lawrence Milner testified against Australian-born longshoremen union leader Harry Bridges in what Time magazine called "the most important deportation hearings of the decade"?
  • ALT1:... that one of the legacies of the hearing (in which Lawrence Milner perjured himself) was the Smith Act of 1940, written so federal authorities could deport Bridges in a future attempt—which in turn led to the Smith Act trials of Communist Party leaders (1949–1958)?

• @Aboudaqn: New enough and long enough. No QPQ needed (currently at 1 DYK credit). An inline citation is needed at the end of the last paragraph that starts "The Smith Act led in turn...", which might be best done by combining it with the paragraph above it. ALT0 is OK for use (I have reworded it a bit and uncapitalized Time per WP:MOS); ALT1 is too long at 264 characters and has been struck.

• I notice several wire service articles don't list the supplying agency. {{cite news}} has an "agency" field that can be filled.
• One more thing. It's good practice to clip articles you find at newspapers.com to make their contents more accessible. To do that, you do need a subscription: see WP:TWL to learn how you can apply for one through Wikipedia. I have clipped all newspapers.com citations in this article for you, as I happen to have one myself.

• All in all, the inline citation issue needs to be fixed and then this can be given a tick. Raymie (t • c) 23:35, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
