 * Symbol question.svg I see that the article passes the 1,500 minimum, excluding the newspaper clippings. Nevertheless, I wonder if the newspaper clippings must be transferred to http://en.wikisource.org/, as they are out of copyright and either are too big for any Wikipedia article or must be trimmed down to more relevant passages. --George Ho (talk) 19:05, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I left a message on the editor's talk page. I see what you mean about those clippings. Maile66 (talk) 19:19, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
 * After 10 days, the editor has not responded. This is an editor who looks to be active on a daily basis. Maile66 (talk) 21:11, 20 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Symbol question.svg Agree with George, that needs to be done. Maile, you could do it yourself. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:47, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree with George, too. But I'm not comfortable working with Wikisource. Needs to be done by someone else. Maile66 (talk) 11:13, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I've uploaded the NYT source to Wikisource and pared down first paragraph, but I unfortunately don't have access to the original version of the Tombstone Epitaph source. I can't upload it when the only version references a blog. Since it is referenced to a blog only, I would remove it for now and find some other print source about the hangings.

This article still meets minimum without quotes, including long ones. However, if quotes do not need to be skimmed down, so be it. Let's have another review take care of this. --George Ho (talk) 04:46, 28 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg size (text only): 6263 characters (1088 words) "readable prose size" Article created by $1LENCE D00600D on June 6, 2012.  That is what DYK checker tells me.  Thus, new enough and long enough at time of creation and nomination.   All images have proper copyright tags on them.  Article seems neutral enough given the court found the alleged killers murderers. Plagiarism spot check on this source shows no major cause for concerns.  Hooked text is supported by the article, which is cited in the article where the citation supports the text.
 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Offline sources were not plagiarised and support the text. --LauraHale (talk) 12:20, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
