   Pass/Fail:

Lead

• The lead is on the short side. Please expand it to cover the other major points mentioned in the article

Background

• "During The Troubles, they had been accused" - by whom?
• "when going through Parliament.[6][2]" - refs in numerical order please

Name of the force

• The acronyms of Police Service of Northern Ireland should be in brackets on the first instance of its mentioning
• "Following Conservative Party pressure," - how about Following pressure from the Conservative Party instead?

Recruitment

• "It stated that the force's size should be reduced by 4,500 officers." - why was this the case?
• "the Royal Ulster Constabulary had a 9–1" - the hyphen should be a en dash per MOS:DASH
• The % symbol is better off written as per cent per MOS:PERCENT
• The acronyms of the Gaelic Athletic Association should be in brackets

References

• References 5, 7, 18, 19, 21 and 22 are missing the publication date
• Reference 10 is missing the second author of the article
• References 13 and 21 are missing the author(s) of the pieces
• The publication date for Reference 20 is incorrect

Am going to put the review on hold to allow the nominator to address/query the points raised above. MWright96 (talk) 12:46, 13 May 2020 (UTC) reply
