  • Long enough, new enough, sources check out fine, copyvio brings up only a quote, hook is interesting/cited, looks good to go. Just waiting for the QPQ. Zappa24Mati 00:52, 24 May 2017 (UTC) Everything looks to be good now. Zappa24Mati 00:04, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
  • @ZappaOMati: and @Djflem: This needs additional work. There are a few citation request tags that I added because of stand-alone sentences/paragraphs. There is also a few instances of WP:CITEKILL. In addition, a lot of the references are incomplete and/or unreliable (i.e. lack publisher, dates when they were published, author/writer, are bare URLs, or are from the subject matter's website). The "Arrests and trials" section needs to be re-written as well. It has a bunch of one-sentence paragraphs. ComputerJA () 15:49, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

Great! Article looks in good shape now. Thank you for taking the time to work on my suggestions. I'm sure this catchy hook will attract a lot of views. ComputerJA () 13:26, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
