The article is long enough and new enough. NYT is a reliable source, but inaccessible to me so I cannot check for close paraphrasing. The basic facts check out, though. QPQ is done. The article needs more wikilinks; even some crucial articles are not linked. The proposed hook is also rather lackluster. Mending fences? The guy apparently divided Korea. Can we not go with that, Thriley (talk)? Surtsicna (talk) 21:07, 26 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
