Picking this up for review. Aoba47 (talk) 20:37, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lead and infobox

I am uncertain if “Australian” needs to be wikilinked. I have been told in the past to keep wikilinks to more common geographic phrases to a minimum.

Fixed. That one was left over from before I overhauled the article.

I have a question about this part (In 2005, Leslie was arrested). There are a few times where you use a comma between the year and the rest of the phrase, such as the above example and the following (In 2007, she launched a line of clothing for dogs,). There are other times where it is not used, such as (That same year she was a finalist on the television series) and (In 2000 she appeared as one of the 20 finalists). I would make sure to be consistent one way or the other.

Think I got them all. :)

Does Michele Leslie have a middle name? I am assuming not from the article, but I just wanted to ask to make sure.

If she does the media never mentioned it; i just went through all my sources.

For this part (who accused her of using Islam as a stunt to gain the court's favour), I would add a wikilink for Islam as you have done so in the body of the article.

Done.

Early career

Use Leslie’s full name when you first mention her in the body of the article (i.e. Leslie was born in Adelaide, South Australia to Albert and Violeta Leslie.).

Done.

For this sentence (Violeta was a nurse and one of 12 siblings born in The Philippines.), I do not believe the “The” in “The Philippines” needs to be capitalized. Same comment applies to the other references to the country in other sentences.

Done.

I have a question about this part (and shortly thereafter left school in order to pursue a full-time modelling career.). Do you know when she left school (i.e. grade or age-wise)? I understand if that information is not available, but I was just curious.

I don't unfortunately.

I have two questions for this part (She soon emerged as one of the "most prominent catwalk and catalogue models" in the state). Who said that she was one of the "most prominent catwalk and catalogue models”? I would provide attribution in the prose, particularly since the source is not readily accessible. Also, I am uncertain by what is meant by “the state”, though this is probably due to my own personal ignorance of all things Australia. Does that mean she was seen as a prominent model in the entire country or only a specific part of it?

Unfortunately I don't have access to the offline source used for this statement, or the one used for the point regarding when she left school. Everything between "Sacred Heart College" and "most prominent catwalk and catalogue models" I have not personally verified; I have assumed good faith. The source for ""most prominent catwalk and catalogue models" hasn't been attributed to a journalist, but we could attribute it to The Advertiser (Adelaide) if you like. I can confirm 'the state' refers to the Australian state of Adelaide.

I have a question for this part (In 2000 she appeared as one of the 20 finalists in the first series of the Australian Search for a Supermodel reality show). Is there any information on how she placed in the series?

@Aoba47: I've had a look but I can't find any unfortunately.

For this sentence (As of August 2005, she was signed to the modeling agency Chic Management.), do you know if she is still signed with the agency? I am only curious as the lead mentions that she struggled finding modeling work after the whole arrest incident. You mention later on that she left the agency so the sentence could be revised as it implies that she is still with the company since August 2005.

The 'Later Life' section mentions when she left the agency. I've changed "As of August 2005" to "In August 2005"; hopefully this new wording doesn't imply she still works there.

I think that improves the article and avoids any possible misunderstanding. Aoba47 (talk) 02:30, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Arrest and trial

For this part (Police gave "vague and contradicting" reports regarding who Leslie was with when she was arrested, with media alleging this was an attempt to protect their identity), shouldn’t it be “identities” since it is referring to multiple men that she was arrested with?

Done.

Later career

For this sentence (Leslie and Zammit were married in New Zealand in October 2012, but separated two years later.), would “divorce” be a better word choice? I am always uncertain about “divorced” vs. “separated”, but since they were married and most likely legally separated, “divorced” may be preferable in this context.

The source doesn't clarify whether they were actually divorced, only that they separated. Therefore I'm not sure if divorced is accurate. I'm not too fussed about making the change though if you insist.

Understandable; it is always best to stick with the source as close as possible so "separated" should be kept then. Aoba47 (talk) 02:30, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Final comments

This was a very interesting read. I have never heard of this individual, although I do not really follow news related to fashion/models and I am unfortunately unfamiliar with a lot of Australian news and pop culture. It will be interesting to see where Leslie’s career goes in the future; hopefully, in the future, a Wikimedia image of her will be uploaded for use in the article. Once my comments are addressed, I will be more than happy to pass this. Have a great weekend! Aoba47 (talk) 12:44, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
