... that in the judgement in Toplak and Mrak v. Slovenia on voters' rights for the disabled in a referendum on gay marriage, the
European Court of Human Rights for the first time extended its jurisdiction to referendums? Source: The court ruled today (26 October) that Slovenia had discriminated against two wheelchair users with muscular dystrophy in a 2015 referendum on gay marriage, because the country’s courts had not allowed them to request accessible polling places ahead of the vote./This case was the first in which the ECHR extended its jurisdiction to referendums

ALT2: ... that in Toplak and Mrak v. Slovenia, initiated by two disabled voters who said they were discriminated against in a referendum on gay marriage, the
European Court of Human Rights extended its jurisdiction to referenda?
Right at 200 characters and has both elements that you'd like to keep. Others are possible but tricky to figure out. Referendums/referenda are interchangeable.

Paradise Chronicle, I edited ALT2 for accuracy, please check that the change is acceptable to you, thanks,

Also, there is an uncited paragraph in "The court's decision" section.

I have struck ALT2 as I've realized it's problematic. Instead proposing the following:
Let's go with your proposition. And I have sourced the uncited paragraph.

Sorry, I just noticed that there's another unsourced sentence at the top of the "Background" section, could you fix that too please?

Full review needed on article and ALT4. Thanks.

Thanks PC. Please note that I have verified all aspects of this nomination, but can't verify ALT4 as I supplied it, so we just need somebody to verify ALT4, thanks,

The ALT4 is really good except for the phrase "access rights". Access rights does not mean anything. I suggest replacing the access rights with a different phrase. This text would be accurate:
Just wanted to point that with the 200 characters as well, but it seems it has been taken care of.

Since the proposed alt is no longer mine, I can now complete this review. Article is new and long enough, neutrally written and passed a
WP:PARAPHRASE check. The hook is cited and interesting, the only issue being that it is slightly over the 200 char limit at 201 chars, but given the difficulty we have had in getting it under the limit I don't think it possible to do any better. The important thing is that the hook doesn't read as excessively long. QPQ is done, nomination verified.
