 * Symbol question.svg I'm not quite sure about the main hook – although they’re difficult to distinguish the source seems to apply the "British Judge Judy" description to the show rather than the person. I found ALT1 more interesting and it is clearly supported by the source, although perhaps slightly confusing to people who don't know that it refers to a TV judge – or was it the intention that people would have to check the article to find out why he is referred to as a judge when he isn't one? If not perhaps reword it to something along the lines of "that TV judge Robert Rinder is a practicing criminal barrister and not a civil judge?"


 * Otherwise, length and 5x expansion are fine, hooks meet length and format requirements, article is cited with no close paraphrasing issues (although the two citations to his CV should be replaced or backed up with independent sources if possible), QPQ done.

 * Yes, ALT1 was intended as to draw people in to find out why the Judge isn't a judge.  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 22:26, 10 September 2016 (UTC)


 * I've thought about this some more, I think the main hook would have been OK if Judge Rinder had been the nominated article, but as it is Rinder's bio it should be cited that he directly has been called the "British Judge Judy". Re ALT1, I'm not saying I'd refuse to approve it as is but I found his being a reality TV judge when he isn't a real judge interesting enough that it didn't need the hook made more cryptic.

 * I have made the change for ALT1.  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 21:48, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

 * I think we could put that forward as an April Fool's Day hook. would you be OK with holding this until next April Fools Day? (Appreciate it's quite a few months away).  January  ( talk ) 17:12, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm OK with that.  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 18:36, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Approved for ALT2 for April Fool's Day. January  ( talk ) 20:02, 12 September 2016 (UTC)/


 * ALT2 is fine as a hook, however, the article says he is a judge, while later stating that he actually isn't, so that is a discrepancy that I think needs to be cleared up. Gatoclass (talk) 10:27, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
 * A bit of vandalism that got missed, the line should have said barrister but someone mucked around with it.  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 09:25, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
