Comments
[edit]- Misplaced period in lead's last sentence.
- There are a few instances of "police speak" that the average person might not understand, such as:
- which results in pressure from the police brass to solve the case. I had to look up "police brass" for a definition. Perhaps reword or properly wikilink it to help?
- while Pembleton plans to question him as an eyewitness, Gee demands he be treated as a subject. Does subject mean suspect?
- Just out of curiosity, did Julianna Margulies also use a body double for her music scenes, or can she really play the violin?
- Tom Shales of The Washington Post said both "Black and Blue" and "See No Evil" and were better than critically-acclaimed "Bop Gun", Sentence doesn't make sense.
- Why are the urls not provided for most of the articles referenced? Do the newspapers' archives require subscriptions to access?
- Overall the article looks really good. Just look at my above comments, and respond back on this page when you are finished. I'll place the review on hold for seven days in the meantime. Thanks, Ruby2010 talk 18:28, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
- I believe I've addressed most of your above questions, although if I missed any, let me know. (Unfortunately, I don't have an answer to the Margulies question, as the source only talked about the cellist.) As far as the urls, I've accessed most of these articles through Newsbank, a newspaper article archive that I have access to through my library. In the past, I've also used Lexis for them. If you have a library account, you should check the library's website, as they might offer the service. I didn't even know mine did until fairly recently. Thanks for the review! — Hunter Kahn
- Looks good. Pass for GA. Great work! Ruby2010 talk 20:43, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
