  • : The article is sufficiently long, though it could do with copyediting to remove minor grammatical errors and awkward constructions. The hook is properly referenced. However, at 236 characters, it is currently too long. Also, the phrase in quotation marks has not been accurately quoted from the source, which states: "During these operations, especially riot control operations that were carried out by PSF units, force and firearms were used in an excessive manner that was, on many occasions, unnecessary, disproportionate, and indiscriminate." Since the phrase is not a direct quotation from the source, I suggest that the quotation marks be removed. — Cheers, JackLee talk 20:17, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
Also, I've made a minor edit to the article, feel free to point or edit any specific grammatical mistakes. Mohamed CJ (talk) 21:11, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
Or, here is a version that preserves more of the sense of the original hook. ALT2: "... that a government commission has found that Bahrain Public Security Forces involved in Arab spring protests sometimes used force and firearms unnecessarily and in a disproportionate manner?" (189 characters.) — Cheers, JackLee talk 07:45, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
Good, thanks for reviewing :) Mohamed CJ (talk) 07:50, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
