 * Symbol question.svg All ok, except that lead is unrefered, & contains the key sentence "...but more recently has been associated with delinquents, with the idea that the saint hears the petitions of both the good and the bad" which is not exactly covered below. No doubt can be referenced. Also the sentence "folk belief has Judas Tadeo as the saint of those both the good and the bad, with idea that sometimes the “good” can act worse than the “bad.”" needs attention, and maybe expansion, & a ref.

 * I dont understand the problem. The whole paragraph in which that sentence appears talks about the veneration of the saint to those involved in crime. I put up an ALT1 if you want something more literal. The good/bad statement comes from the rbustamante reference. I repeated the citation in the text.Thelmadatter (talk) 14:30, 1 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Really? "the saint of those both the good and the bad" is ok? Johnbod (talk) 14:58, 1 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg Lead does not need a reference if the information is backed up by sources elsewhere. Since I can read Spanish, I confirm that the sources used to back up the hook are reliable and sufficient. Perhaps some of the language can be changed as mentioned above, but I do not see anything alarming. I made some minor fixes to the hook (I think that removing the "San Judas Tadeo" makes it more attractive). Thanks for the interesting article. ComputerJA ( ☎  •  ✎  ) 05:31, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
