Assessment comments

[edit]
  • If possible, article could expand on Cobb's early career
  • Some of the prose is unclear/repetitive, examples:
    • "They stopped them and asked them for identification"
    • "Cobb died at the scene...the suspect was arrested at the scene"
  • Article as a whole could use more references
  • Article depends heavily on www.mcjackie.com, which appears to be a self-published source.

Good article on a courageous and historically significant subject, but still needs work. Altamel (talk) 18:44, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for assessing the article! I'll try to fix it up some more, but unfortunately, sources are quite hard to come by on this subject. Thanks again. Illegitimate Barrister 05:28, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, you've done a lot of work on this article today! I'll stop by periodically and see if it should be re-assessed. The thing that concerns me the most is how much it relies on that self-published website. If you can corroborate the info sourced to that website from other sources, that would be a vast improvement.

I've stumbled across two published books that pertain to this subject. They appear to corroborate what the self-published source says, more or less. I'll see if I can't do some more work on this article later today or tomorrow. Regards, Illegitimate Barrister 16:41, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
A lot of work's been done now. If you can reassess, it'd be much appreciated. Thanks and cheers, Illegitimate Barrister 09:12, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
