[edit] Good article nomination review

[edit] Failed "good article" nomination

This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of November 25, 2007, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: Needs editing for better language and flow.
2. Factually accurate?: Needs citations covering quotes and points of fact.
3. Broad in coverage?: Would benefit from expansion in discussing points of case and issues that make it notable.
4. Neutral point of view?: It is NPOV.
5. Article stability? Article is stable.
6. Images?: Appear acceptable.

I briefly looked over this article and noticed a few problems with it that preclude it from passing a good article nomination. One of the most serious issues procluding it is that there are facts and quotes included that are not directly referenced. Examples include the quote by a police superintendent in the first paragraph of the Murder trial section, the listing of points in the prosecution's case has no inline references and the references given at the end of the paragraph do not cover all of the points outlined. All of this qualifies it for quick-fail based on Wikipedia:Verifiability.

The article needs revision for good flow of language as well as expansion to discuss the aspects of the case more fully. One example is in the Disappearance and investigation section: "Suspicion fell on her uncle Stuart Campbell almost immediately who was first arrested on 23 June 2001, five days after Jones went missing." This sentence, as well as others in the article, is simply run-on and awkward. It would also seem that his being her uncle would be relevant enough to mention in the lead of the story. Other questions arise, such as why did suspicion fall on him almost immediately? The article has potential but just needs expansion and better referencing.

When these issues are addressed, the article can be renominated. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it have it reassessed. Thank you for your work so far. Wildhartlivie (talk) 04:07, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
