Nevertheless, she persisted
- ... that after Mitch McConnell said, "Nevertheless, she persisted" to refer to Elizabeth Warren's silencing during a U.S. Senate debate, over 100 women in Minneapolis got tattoos of that meme? Source: "Purmort said that, in a few days, nearly 2,000 people had shown interest, and at the event more than 100 women (and a few guys) showed up to get the tattoo in Minneapolis." USA Today

I won't review the article, but I will note its glaring bias and its imperviousness to any form of critical commentary in sources that are not glaringly left-leaning, with the latter being cited in depth with all the (more or less relevant) things they have to say about this hype. It took me 5 minutes to come across this, this, and this. (Interestingly, the article is not even interested in more positive coverage of the issue by conservative sources.)Dahn (talk) 23:24, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks for these observations. I haven't time this evening, but will draw from the resources you have included to improve the article's neutral point of view. Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 23:38, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
- Today, I've added 5 paragraphs to provide a better balanced perspective. Template:U, I especially want to thank you for the reference to the David Harsanyi article, as I do admire his remarkable and humorous ability to turn a phrase. Cheers! — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 20:32, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
Full review needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:47, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
Article is new enough and long enough. It is generally cited appropriately, although I have tagged one unsourced statement that needs to be fixed before this can proceed. It is generally neutrally written, though I'm slightly concerned about the inclusion of a fairly harsh statement from the national review that is not directly related here, but is generic criticism of Warren (the rest of that paragraph is okay). The copyvio tool only flags quotations. The hook is cited inline, and is supported by the source. So this should be fine after the small issues are addressed. Oh, and I'm wondering at the period in the title: I don't think that's appropriate...Vanamonde (talk) 07:31, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks for the helpful review. I've added a citation with a quote from the Congressional Record, as I learned the sequence of events from the video listed under External Links. I have also deleted the harsh part of the Harsanyi quote about Warren.
- Since the I have a dream article is titled without a period, I agree the period is probably not appropriate, but I haven't found a rule under WP:MOS regarding periods in a title that is a sentence. There is a redirect from the title of the article without the period, which originally pointed to List of political catchphrases; I revised that redirect after moving the article from draft space. When I tried moving it tonight, I got an error message that I don't have permission to move it, and the article will need to be moved by an administrator. I have submitted a request at Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests. Cheers! Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 08:59, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
Excellent, this is GTG. I'm going to ping Template:U, though, just to check if there's anything we need to do to accommodate the change in the title, from the version with the period to the version without. I've changed the link in the hook. Regards, Vanamonde (talk) 10:09, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
- Vanamonde, I've made the necessary adjustments to this template, so it should be all set. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:37, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
- Will the picture be considered for inclusion? I had trouble getting it to display properly when I tried to nominate it after submitting the template. Thanks! — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 16:02, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks, BlueMoonset. I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask for your assistance once again, to deal with Grand'mere Eugene's image question. The file in question is . How do we add it to the template without breaking anything? Regards, Vanamonde (talk) 17:25, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
