1972 Labour government?
Is this article at current FA standards?
This is an old FA (promoted in 2007), and showing signs of age and slight neglect. There are unsupported statements within the text, some of the sources are dated and unreliable and I had to remove a citation that was using a semi-fictional film as a citation. There have been new (heavyweight) sources published since this was made an FA which should be included. I’m following the WP:FAR procedures in leaving this, as I think the only way to raise this up to current FA standards is a complete rewrite. - SchroCat (talk) 06:37, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
:The only significant recently published source that I'm aware of was Hennessy's book, which doesn't really add that much illumination as the only really contested facts about the strike relate to Richard O'Rawe's allegations, which Hennessy is unable to either prove or disprove despite the release of government papers covering the strike. Perhaps if you could provide any specific details on the supposed unsupported statements or supposed dated or unreliable sources they could be addressed if necessary.

::The lack of information about talks between the British government and the IRA is a huge problem area, as is the lack of anything from Mentel (who uses declassified documents, so covers the secret talks), Kritz, O’Rawe, Hennessy and Danny Morrison, and scant use of other heavyweight sources, while there is an over-reliance on newspapers. If this article went to FAC as it stands, it would be quick failed, and that’s what the FAR process takes as a baseline. - SchroCat (talk) 21:18, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
Requested move discussion at Talk:Irish hunger strike
There is a requested move open at Irish hunger strike, proposing that that page be moved to Irish hunger strike (disambiguation) leaving a redirect at Irish hunger strike to 1981 Irish hunger strike. You are invited to take part in the discussion. Jean-de-Nivelle (talk) 16:49, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
