BLP issues in Matthew Charles Johnson
Hi Arconning, since you reviewed the above article for GA, I should let you know I have voiced concerns about BLP issues in the article on its talk page here (permalink). Cheers,  Baffle☿gab  02:03, 13 July 2024 (UTC)


 * @Baffle gab1978 I'm confused, they are sourced? "In May 1999, Johnson was sentenced for his participation in an attack on a protected inmate in Barwon Prison, for which he received a 20-month prison sentence. In September the following year, Johnson was tried for an attack on contract killer Gregory Brazel in Barwon Prison's Acacia unit." is cited to reference 2 and 5, and they do clearly contain information regarding the statement? Is it a problem that it's sourced at the end of the paragraph rather than every statement? Arconning (talk) 03:01, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
 * @Baffle gab1978 Oh I've seen the other comments, and I have to apologize as I did not know that was part of the criteria, I will try to do my best in the future to avoid these other mistakes again regarding the primary sources. Arconning (talk) 03:06, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
 * No problem, thanks for dealing with the article. I don't usually "police" GAs but since I was copy-editing it, I though it best to raise my concerns. In a BLP, every point made should have a citation because unsourced content can easily be added. My major concern though was the use of court documents in the article, which the BLP policy forbids. I did check the document about his murder trial, which the article does agree with, but there should be a secondary source. Cheers,  Baffle☿gab  21:25, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Zoe Smith/GA1
Hi there, are you sure this one is a quickfail? A fail of 2a means there are no references at all - I've never seen this in a GAN, and it's not the case here either. I don't see any QF reason in the issues you've listed, either. They all seem like pretty quick fixes, and none appear to be dealbreakers for a GA? -- asilvering (talk) 20:27, 18 July 2024 (UTC)


 * @Asilvering I think I've misread the criterion, I deeply apologize for this easily avoided mistake on my part. I don't think it should be a QF at this time. I'm more than happy if I could review again, if that's the case. Arconning (talk) 08:30, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Since the review has been closed, it's probably best to leave it where it is (rather than trying to undo it), but you could let the nominator know that you think they should resubmit and you'll have a second look. -- asilvering (talk) 13:05, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
