I will review this soon. IntentionallyDense (talk) 03:10, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rate	Attribute	Review Comment
1. Well-written:
	1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.	Prose looks good. No complaints. IntentionallyDense (talk) 04:47, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.	IntentionallyDense (talk) 03:25, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
2. Verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check:
	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.	IntentionallyDense (talk) 03:25, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
	2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).	I checked about half the sources (which was made easier due to archives so thank you for adding those) and only found one minor issue. IntentionallyDense (talk) 03:25, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
	2c. it contains no original research.
	2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.	IntentionallyDense (talk) 03:25, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.	IntentionallyDense (talk) 04:47, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).	IntentionallyDense (talk) 04:47, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.	IntentionallyDense (talk) 04:47, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.	IntentionallyDense (talk) 03:25, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
	6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.	IntentionallyDense (talk) 03:25, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.	IntentionallyDense (talk) 03:25, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
	7. Overall assessment.	On hold pending the one minor sourcing issue. IntentionallyDense (talk) 04:47, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

his salary as superintendent was US$154,000 I'm not seeing this in the source provided. could you give me the quote for this so I can more easily find it. IntentionallyDense (talk) 03:25, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you for the review, @IntentionallyDense! I can't find this in the source or any of the ones around it, so I've just removed it. Diverging Diamond (is Queen of Hearts's alt; talk) 12:48, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  Sounds good. I'm going to go ahead and pass this then! Great work! IntentionallyDense (talk) 18:23, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Improved to Good Article status by Queen of Hearts (talk). Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 11 past nominations.

Charlotte (Queen of Hearts • talk) 23:09, 9 October 2024 (UTC).[reply]

Page has been nominated to GA recently enough. The page is good and the hook is interesting. The source says that he "participated in covert investigations into criminal and administrative allegations involving members of the New Orleans Police Department", so it doesn't explicitly say that he "posed as a corrupt officer", so a better/more explicit source is probably needed. A QPQ is also still needed. Feel free to ping me when these issues are addressed! Di (they-them) (talk) 02:14, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Queen of Hearts: Please provide a QPQ as the nomination is liable to be closed without further warning if one isn't provided during or immediately after the nomination. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 02:57, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, was the wrong source anyway. Try: Fenton, Justin (March 14, 2023). "An uncertain future for BPD Commissioner Michael Harrison as he enters last year of contract". The Baltimore Banner.
