Death of Jeffrey Epstein

(

• Back to T:TDYK
• Article history

)

• ... that, according to polling, a majority of Americans believe that Jeffrey Epstein's death was a homicide?[1]
  • ALT1:... that US Attorney General William Barr has described Jeffrey Epstein's death as "a perfect storm of screw-ups"?[2]

• Just a comment, not a review: Those two horrible pictures of Epstein's neck should NOT be included with this DYK. They have nothing to do with the the content of the hooks and add nothing to the DYK. -- MelanieN (talk) 23:39, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

• Actually as long as I am here I might as well review it. The article is indeed a Good Article, having reached that designation on September 21 so the nomination is timely. The article is big enough, neutral, and well sourced. No copyvios are found. The hooks are interesting and sourced; I prefer ALT0 since it is interesting and sourced and is clear what it is about. ALT1 kind of leaves out the key fact that Barr was saying that to express his belief that it was in fact a suicide and not a homicide. My objection is the image; I think it is inappropriate and unrelated to either of the hooks, and should not be used. HAL333, comments? HAL has only four DYKs up to now so a QPQ is not required for this one. Future nominations will need QPQ. -- MelanieN (talk) 23:52, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

• I can understand how the image is not suitable and am perfectly happy to drop it. ALT0 would be my preference too. However, if you want me to, I can clarify ALT1 so it's clear that Barr has concluded that it was a suicide. ~ HAL333 00:03, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Let's go with ALT0 and drop the image, and it is Good To Go. -- MelanieN (talk) 00:55, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

We cannot run these images on the main page, nor in the article. I've removed them from the hook. Yoninah (talk) 20:00, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
