Elite panic
- ... that elites will typically shift the focus away from disaster relief towards measures of command and control during disaster events?
Created by Grnrchst (talk). Nominated by A. C. Santacruz (talk) at 11:15, 12 September 2021 (UTC).
The article meets all criteria for inclusion, but the hook needs work.
New: The article was created on 10 Sep and nominated on 12 Sep.
Length: The article has 4135 charactes, easily exceeding the 1500 character limit.
Cited hook: The proposed hook needs work: while it's sourced to a reputable offline source (assuming good faith), it does not actually contain the words "elite panic". I realize this is not an ironclad requirement and piping is technically OK, but IMHO the word "panic" is pretty key and the hook is weak without it. "...that elite panic has been used to describe a fear of civil disorder during disaster events", perhaps? Or "...that reacting to fears of civil disorder during disaster events by calling off search and rescue and focusing instead on protecting private property has been described as elite panic"?
Policy: To the best of my knowledge, the article meets core policy such as notability and has no outstanding maintenance tags. One nit: I don't see how the mention of unclear public comms at Fukushima ties into elite panic though?
QPQ: Done.

- Thanks for review Jpatokal! What about:
- ALT1: ... that elites will typically shift the focus away from disaster relief towards measures of command and control during disaster events, a behaviour referred to as elite panic? A. C. Santacruz ⁂ Talk 15:43, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
Works for me! Optional nit: for readability, I would suggest reordering to "... that during disaster events [or just disasters?], elites will" Jpatokal (talk) 01:16, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
- Nice catch Jpatokal.
- ALT2 ... that during disaster events, elites will tipically shift the focus away from disaster relief towards measures of command and control, a behaviour referred to as elite panic? A. C. Santacruz ⁂ Talk 06:50, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
