Promoted by SamBlob

United States v. Ivanov
Created/expanded by Dsheffie (talk). Nominated by PFHLai (talk) at 10:33, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
 * ... that in 2000, the FBI lured a suspect to Seattle, arrested him in a sting operation, and then successfully had him convicted for cyber-crimes committed while he was physically located in Russia?


 * Symbol possible vote.svg 1. "...arrested him in a sting operation" is not cited (the info is at this site listed in the references: http://www.crime-research.org/articles/hacker0405/, so that can be cited there).
 * 2. The article lists six of the eight counts on which Ivanov was tried and, while a statement in the introduction stating that he was found guilty is cited, the article does not state the counts for which he was found guilty.
 * 3. The first paragraph in the "Appeal" section is uncited, as is the only sentence in the "Holding" section.
 * 4. I am not sure how to check for plagiarism or close paraphrasing. Any help here would be appreciated.
 * 5. Hook length is O.K., although I'd suggest taking out the word "successfully"; it's long and it doesn't add anything.
 * Apart from items 1 to 3 the nomination looks O.K., although I don't know about item 4. This is my second DYK review, and a second opinion would be appreciated. Sincerely, SamBlob (talk) 23:00, 3 March 2012 (UTC)


 * I have added the citation regarding Ivanov's arrest and have reworded the statement about him being found guilty to include the fact that he was convicted of cyber-crimes and have cited the source immediately afterward. I have also cited the "Holding" secton/sentence.  However, I am not sure which reference would be used to cite the first paragraph of the "Appeal" section.  I still have not checked for plagiarism nor for close paraphrasing. Sincerely, SamBlob (talk) 14:09, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi SamBlob, I noticed my article had been nominated for DYK when I was submitting another classmates article. The first paragraph is paraphrases several pages (starting on page 4) of this document (http://www.ctd.uscourts.gov/Opinions/120601.AWT.Ivanov.pdf, heavily referenced in the article). Hope that helps Sincerely, dsheffie (talk)

 * Symbol confirmed.svg O.K. now; I think I may have got back to it too late, though. Sincerely, SamBlob (talk) 21:56, 10 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Thank you, Justinesherry, for your substantial edits. I'm revising the {DYKmake} templates to include you as an author. --PFHLai (talk) 06:49, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
