... that Utah & Ether's five year, 30 country graffiti
tagging tour ended when a single dad got Ether in a headlock? Source:
https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/us-graffitist-jim-clay-harper-captured-in-a-headlock-on-brunswick-street-20160513-goutam.html "In 2011 the US duo left their homeland for India, and have spray-painted trains and walls in more than 30 countries in Africa, Europe and Asia since. ... But Mr Harper's five-year celebrity world tour came to an end last week when Luke*, a single father from Fitzroy, wrestled him to the ground in a headlock for allegedly tagging shopfronts on Brunswick Street." Whether or not it "ended" is actually debatable, arguably it just paused, but the source is the source.
ALT1: ... that after jail terms in America, graffiti artists Utah & Ether took a five year Probation Vacation to
tag 15 countries? Source:
https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/to-catch-a-graffiti-artist - the 15 countries are spelled out in the source as "Israel, South Korea, Thailand, Tunisia, Japan, China, Georgia, Portugal, the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, India, Turkey, Chile, and Argentina". Note the country count is different from the above source; so it goes with international crime.
Nice article GRuban! Created on January 28, nominated February 1--new enough; 10850 char--long enough; cited; neutral; no apparent copyvios--hits in Earwig appear to be result of titles and quotes that are marked as quotes in the article; QPQ done; photo licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic. Hook 00 is 112 char--under the maximum; interesting. The issue is that the only place 30 countries appears is in the lede, which is uncited. You can either cite that sentence in the lede, or add a cited sentence in the body. Alt 1 is 120 char--under maximimum; cited in the article and interesting, though I prefer the first hook. Ping me, as I rarely see this page.
