I left the following feedback for the creator/future reviewers while reviewing this article: Very nice job on this article. I had forgotten about this, and what a big deal it was when it occurred. Keep up the good work.
Note: this represents where the article stands relative to the Good Article criteria. Criteria marked are unassessed
"the outcomes between the secret admirers" Between doesn't seem right, reword.
I've copy-edited the rest of the article, feel free to discuss any changes you disagree with.
Images are properly used and licensed, although they are both fair use.
Ellis, Philip (May 11, 2020). "The True Story of the Notorious 'Talk Show Murder' Trial". Yahoo!. Seems to be syndicated from MensHealth and should be cited to that.
You seem to have linked newspapers/publishers only once in the references: if you're going to link them, they should be linked at every mention since references can be checked by the reader in any order.
All of the sources seem to be to RS and are properly formatted.
Spot-checks:
Renna, Cathy (July 25, 2016). "A Lover and a Fighter: The Legacy of Jeffrey Montgomery". The Advocate. Verifies all claims made.
Truesdell, Jeff (May 12, 2020). "Trial By Media Revisits Jenny Jones Show Murder: Man Killed Guest Who ID'd Him as Same-Sex Crush". People. Verifies all claims made. Although People is not supposed to be used for contentious claims, but none of the claims it is used to cite seem particularly contentious.
"Surprise Marriage Proposal on Spanish TV Turns Tragic". ABC News. Verifies all claims made.
Gallo, Phil (March 24, 1997). "Talked to Death". Variety. Verifies all claims made.
Hyde, Justin (September 14, 1998). "Talk Show Murder Ruling Overturned". Associated Press. Link is broken, but claims verified via archive link.
Peyser, Marc (March 19, 1995). "Making A Killing On Talk Tv". Newsweek. Verifies all claims made.
Thank you for taking on this review! I have changed the Yahoo! citation to Men's Health, linked all of the newspapers/publishers in the references, and updated the Associated Press citation to reflect that it is a dead link. I have also changed "Ricki Lake of Ricki Lake" to be in line with the copy-edit you did for Jerry Springer. I do not take issue with any of the copy-edits made to the article. In terms of the "the outcomes between the secret admirers" sentence, I have slightly reworded it and I believe it flows better now. I am open to further tinkering with it if you believe it still doesn't come across correctly. Underclass King (talk) 23:16, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
