populism was first practiced in

Confirmed that article has been expanded 5x in the past 7 days, and is well above 1500 characters. The article is neutral, well cited, and--based on what I know about Going to the People from Mike Duncan's podcast--fairly accurate. I think the main hook is OK, but I don't like "moved to the provinces". How about "went to the people" (including the quotes)? That's much closer to the actual name of the article and the movement, in addition to being catchier. I don't like ALT1 as much--"populism" is not as good of a description as "socialism", especially given the modern connotations of the word. I don't like ALT2 either because "mass movement" is hard to define, and because of the aforementioned objection to the word "populism". Lastly, I don't see a QPQ review. Did you do one, or are you exempt because you haven't nominated 5 articles yet? --

Thanks for the response! I've adjusted the main hook per your recommendations. As for the QPQ review, this is the first article that I've nominated. --
