Hi there, I'll be reviewing this nomination in the coming days. PCN02WPS ( talk  &#124;  contribs ) 21:32, 7 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Great. I'll look forward to working with you. ArcticSeeress (talk) 01:42, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I've left comments, the nomination is on hold. PCN02WPS  ( talk  &#124;  contribs ) 03:09, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I've fixed the issues with the article. Also "frequently cited" doesn't require a hyphen (at least according to Merriam-Webster). ArcticSeeress (talk) 20:28, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Article corrections look good, and I'm happy with the article's quality. Reference spot-checks check out, and I'm happy to give this nomination a pass. Well done. PCN02WPS  ( talk  &#124;  contribs ) 04:28, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

History

 * "changed the site to one for rating police" → perhaps "changed the site's purpose to one for rating police" or "changed the site's purpose to rating police"
 * "It was sponsored by Republican politician" → link Republican Party (United States)
 * "asking the his colleagues" → remove "the"
 * "in the senate" → capitalize "Senate"
 * "if the officer in question had been acquited" → should be "acquitted"
 * "A day later, the website was hosted on Rackspace for a short while" → this is worded a touch awkwardly, perhaps it could be reworded like this: "A day later, Rackspace began hosting the website, which it did for a short while" or something similar
 * "personal E-mail address" → the article Email gives abbreviations of "email" and "e-mail" as opposed to the capitalized "E-mail"
 * "sued the city of Tallahasse" → city spelled incorrectly
 * "received 60,000$ in damages" → dollar sign goes before the number (also, use USD to indicate US Dollars)

Content
No comments here.

Reception

 * "February 2008, the website had been receiving 100,000 visitors a day" → the tense here is a bit awkward, perhaps "the website was receiving 100,000 visitors"?
 * "with for example Kevin Martin of the San Francisco Police Officers Association" → this is worded awkwardly, particularly "for example"
 * "danger of RateMycop.com and similar websites" → "Cop" in website name should be capitalized for consistency
 * The Times and Ars Technica is italicized in their articles, so they should be italicized here

Legacy

 * "most frequently cited examples" → I could be wrong, but I think "frequently-cited" needs a hyphen
 * "It has been cited by associate professor at The College at Brockport, State University of New York Ed Downey as an example of a larger trend" → for ease of reading, I'd give the guy's name and then his position (I'd also strongly recommend giving a short-form name for the school, as the full name is rather unwieldly long): "It has been cited by SUNY Brockport associate professor Ed Downey as an example...".
