. copyvio ok, new, not a stub. Qpq done, interesting, well sourced. Interesting a male parallel wall was also formed. Talk page needs class. Hook is in article and cited. Whispyhistory (talk) 08:16, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

Need advice from someone more experienced as an issue arose following the review. Background in article needs clarifying with a reputable source. I propose another hook, hence another reviewer may be necessary.

ALT1...that in 2019, ~~more than 3~~ several million women came together to form a 620 km (390 mi) human chain in the Indian State of Kerala? Whispyhistory (talk) 19:35, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

Approving ALT1 with the alteration I have made to it, based on Whispyhistory's review. The exact number of women is unclear, "five million" and "around three million" both being mentioned in the source, and you can't equate the second estimate with "more than three million", but clearly there were a great many people.

@Cwmhiraeth: how about "millions of women"? Yoninah (talk) 17:52, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

Seems good, rewritten as ALT2:

Reflecting..maybe better if link women's wall in hook as human chain links to something else in article. Millions sounds ok. If chain is a problem then try

ALT2a...that in 2019, millions of women came together to form a 620 km (390 mi) women's wall in the Indian State of Kerala? Whispyhistory (talk) 18:42, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
I quite like that version... If people aren't sure what a "women's wall" is, they can always click the link! — Amakuru (talk) 21:28, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
