I don't think the word cunt has a place in an encyclopedia. The bad treatment of Olive by the police is well documented in this article without the need for actual quotations which are hearsay. School children will read this article. The quote is very inflammatory and might inspire anger and hatred which is exactly what we try to avoid these days.

Hiya the article is now B-class and 20k, which is great! This means it could in turn do with a longer lead. MOS:LEADLENGTH suggests 2 or 3 paragraphs for articles of between 15k and 30k. I expanded the lead to 2 paragraphs then was reverted so I thought I'd check here what people think. At the moment I don't think the lead is summarising the article well.

You know what, I decided to be bold and to nominate this article as a good article. I've edited it a bit over the years and would welcome any input from other contributors if they wanted to get involved, when the review eventually happens. Paging @ Carbon Caryatid: in case you were interested. Mujinga ( talk) 12:30, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
This article is now a good article and I've just listed it for peer review, with an eye (per comments made at the GA review) on getting it to featured article status. If any contributor new or old wants to help with that please get involved, so far the article has been improved by many editors. Mujinga ( talk) 12:32, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
The trial began on 30 October 1972, in Court number 3, with Howe defending himself. The prosecution’s case comprised the testimony of nine police officers. Bizarrely, their case was riddled with inconsistencies. In Morris’s case, there were divergent accounts of her footwear, no trivial matter as she was accused of kicking and injuring an officer.I've changed the sentence a bit, hopefully it reads better now, see what you think.

Well, life must wait haha. So somehow I came across Dick Sheppard School which says "It was founded as the sister establishment to Tulse Hill School for boys and as the Comprehensive alternative to St Martin-In-The-Fields High School for Girls". Confusingly, this BBC article says "Morris went to Lavender Hill Primary School and Dick Sheppard School in Tulse Hill" so I think that solves the "Tulse Hill Secondary School" confusion but not the "Lavender Hill Girls' Secondary School" issue ..

Her relationship with Mike McColgan gets a passing mention. He was an activist too and they were together from the mid 70s until her death - his obituary has a few more details

@ Mujinga and Thorpewilliam: just putting a note here, so that the Mujinga, the main article contributor understands the change that has been made. According to MOS:RACECAPS, it seems we should either capitalise both Black and White, or lowercase them (black and white). Thorpewilliam has decided to lowercase black, but it you instead decide to make Black and White both be capitalised, then let me know and I'll update the FA template accordingly. Cheers — Amakuru ( talk) 10:18, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
Please note that the correct spelling of the group is “Organisation”. This can be seen on contemporary material produced by the OWAAD, such as this, this and this.
I changed the spelling earlier today to get rid of “organizer” (and variants) as this was a fairly recent introduction. It has been spelled with an S until January this year, with no reason to change. Per ENGAVR and RETAIN I’ve returned this spelling, particularly given the organisation name is also spelled with an S. 2A00:23C7:2B86:9801:B980:BF75:4A13:75CC ( talk) 22:59, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi @ Mujinga: As you are on the top editors of the page, I ask my question to you. I'm one of the French traductors of the page and I see that there's no link or source for Sabarr Books (in the first paragraph of the article). I don't know who this person is and I don't find anything on this person on the internet. Do you have any pieces of information ?
Thank you Douteoublié ( talk) 13:43, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi The History Wizard of Cambridge, I've removed the "see also" links you added. My rationale is that whilst the people you added appear to be connected with each other through being black CPGB members, Morris was not a CPGB member. As far as I can see they didn't interact with Morris at all and they didn't live in London (Brixton). So I think the connection is tenuous. If they are connected to Morris, then that's great and we can add something about it in the text and link from there. Mujinga ( talk) 08:41, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
