See what the criteria are and what they are not

2) Verifiable with no original research


 * 2a) it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline

3) Broad in its coverage


 * 3a) it addresses the main aspects of the topic

4) Neutral:


 * 4) Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each

5) Stable:


 * 5) Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute

6) Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio
 * 6a) media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content


 * 6b) media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions

Overall:

Comments

 * Are images available?
 * Needs copy editing. I've fixed the minor issues, but it needs a through going over.
 * "The defense contended that they held up the store to acquire weapons for self-defense because they feared attacks by their rivals, the Black Muslims." - reword to put that into context in a quote

I'm going to put this on hold for a week (Wednesday). &, you've both put a lot of work into this, so maybe you can get it up to GA standards in a week. I've certainly seen weirder things happen!


 * Hey, thanks for reviewing this.
 * Unfortunately, just about every single photo of the incident was taken by The New York Times, which I believe we can't use. I might try to add a map pinpointing where the incident occurred, though I don't know how to work with maps.
 * I'll give the article a look-over, but I thought it was pretty okay last time I checked.
 * I'll see what I can do.

 * Expanded the article and touched upon some stuff you mentioned. I plan to add a map pinpointing the location soon if I can. Any other pointers? AdoTang (talk) 03:16, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
 * That is unfortunate about the images, I just spent a bit playing with maps though. You can stick this directly in the info box, or change it to say whatever you want. It's using Template:Maplink (failed attempted removed, see next) ~ Argenti Aertheri (Chat?) 03:59, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
 * ETA: of course it won't preview properly, I'll get a copy working in my sandbox ~ Argenti Aertheri (Chat?)
 * I still think it needs some copy editing, but now that I understand what it's trying to say I can take care of that myself. Looks like you've fixed most everything else, and images aren't required in order to pass, so it'll likely be good to go tomorrow. I'm done for the night though, I'll CE it probably late tomorrow and then pass it. ~ Argenti Aertheri (Chat?) 04:20, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I just finished a thorough copy edit, please make sure everything still looks good to you. If so, do you want me to add a map before I pass it? ~ Argenti Aertheri (Chat?) 01:36, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

Once I pass this I'm going to see if I can find a link directly to that last citation. I had marked it a bad link because it redirects to the site's homepage. ~ Argenti Aertheri (Chat?) 03:38, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
