5x expanded by HaEr48 (talk). Self-nominated at 02:33, 20 May 2020 (UTC).[reply]
Hi HaEr48, review follows: article 5x expanded from 16 May; article is well written and cited inline to what are mostly reliable sources; one query: I am unfamiliar with The Free Library/Input Solutions, could you advise on its reliability? I didn't spot any overly close paraphrasing from the sources; the hook is interesting, the facts are mentioned in the article; hook facts are sourced as follows: commerce minister - Mehr News, foreign language AGF, OPEC governor - Free Library, per query above, pizza delivery man - Bloomberg, no issue; a QPQ has been carried out. Nice expansion on this article, good work - Dumelow (talk) 06:49, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Dumelow: Thank you for the review. As for the Free Library, I don't know anything except that it seems to be a published reference work, which met the definition of RS unless there are other concerns, so I just used it. To be safe, commerce minister and OPEC governor are also mentioned in this book (published by Syracuse University Press so should be RS). As for OPEC governor there should be no doubt, it is also mentioned in Bloomberg, Reuters, and Tehran Times cited in the article. I replaced the Free Library citations except for one.
