Self-Nomination. This is an neutral, extremely thorough, and well-referenced biography of a living and controversial person. I can now say with a very high level of confidence (having read every single proquest and lexis hit for each of her names) that there is very little notable and source-able information that could be added to this article. In my opinion, the two late-breaking objections from the previous nomination have been resolved: the six other trials/dismissals (though only tersely remarked upon outside of contemporary news sources) have been comprehensively covered and the turnpike trial section has been beefed up to reflect the entirity of the case presented against Shakur. Exhaustive comments have also since been fielded on Talk:Assata Shakur. I hope that you will join me in supporting this nomination. Savidan 21:53, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Current ref 1 ("Or according to the FBI" 19August 1952.) If you're using that website as a source for the information, it should give title of the web page, publisher, and last access date.
Current ref 37 Wolf, Paul "Cointelpro..." first the title shouldn't be in all capitals, and second needs a last access date.
Current ref 116 "Williams, Evelyn A. "Statement of Facts..." please don't direct link out to the website or use a plain url for the publisher.Current ref 121 is just an ISBN number, no other information. Needs full bilbiographical information, including page numbers.
- This ref is not citing any particular page in the book, its only meant to help readers find a book that is mentioned in the article text but does not have a wiki article. I can do everything but the page numbers. Savidan 00:23, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
- Then what you did works fine. Ealdgyth - Talk 18:27, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
Are current ref 171 & 172 "Farley, Anthony Paul" .. who is the publisher? 22 Cardozo L. Rev? and 11 Mich J. Race & L.? if they are journals, can we spell out the journal names please?
- Spell them out I'll do, but including the publisher is non-standard, I believe, for a law review ref. Savidan 00:28, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
- That's fine. I put the "publisher" bit in in case I was mistaken about them being journals. Ealdgyth - Talk 18:27, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
Current ref 181 "Shakur Assata "An Open Letter ..." is lacking a publisherCurrent ref 185 "House Concurrent Resolution 254" is lacking a publisherIs current ref 188 Water, Maxine "Congresswoman Waters issues..." a press release? If so might say so.
- It was released by her to HYPE. I've added them as the publisher. Savidan 00:37, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
Current ref 189 "Cleaver, Kathleen "The Fugitive ..." is lacking a publisher
- Otherwise sources look good, links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 23:23, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for your comments, Ealdgyth. Except as noted above, I have done as you suggest. Savidan 00:39, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
- All done! Ealdgyth - Talk 18:27, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
- Comment, some of the images could use a more standardized fair use rationale. gren グレン 09:24, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
- I have added {Non-free use rationale} to each fair use image. Savidan 15:40, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
- Support. I was probably the most vociferous objector during the first review; the article has been greatly expanded meeting my, and others', objections. It's quite thorough, and presents many sides of the story of this interesting and important person. --GRuban (talk) 13:50, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
