Talk:Matthew Charles Johnson

Disambiguation
According to the disambiguation guidelines, the criterion to naturally resolve any ambiguity in an article title is preferred to using parenthetical disambiguation. This draft should be re-titled "Matthew Charles Johnson" as that appears to be the subject's birth name and would be a better choice than using a parenthetical disambiguator. Also, if parenthetical disambiguation must be used, then it also needs to be precise and enduring. The subject's status as a prisoner is only temporary, as he could be released on parole after 32 years, or might die in prison, and if either of those events occur, he would no longer be a prisoner. However, having been convicted of murder, and receiving a life sentence for that crime, he could be classified as a "murderer", since this is the crime he appears to be most notable for. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 00:42, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

GOCE c/e notes
During my copy-edit, I found there is a fair bit of uncited text in the section "Criminal history". I also noted some uncited direct quotations within that section. I have marked these texts with [citation needed] tags. Because this is a Good Article and a biography of a living person, we must be mindful to properly cite texts. Per good article criteria, good articles are required to comply with BLP policy.

I also noticed two primary sources are used; one is the judgement in the case of Williams' murder from the Supreme Court of Victoria; the other is the investigation into Corrections Victoria relating to Williams' death. According to WP:BLPPRIMARY, court records and transcripts must not be used to reference BLP articles; these sources should be replaced with, or at least augmented with, secondary sources.

Why didn't the GA reviewer notice these issues? If these matters are not addressed within a reasonable time, the GA status of this article should be removed. Cheers,  Baffle☿gab  01:52, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
