Thokozile Masipa
[edit]- ...
that before her law career, the presiding judge assigned to the Oscar Pistorius murder trial worked as a crime reporter for The Sowetan newspaper?
- Reviewed: William Templeton (mayor)
- Comment: The trial will be held from 3 to 20 March, so I would like it included in the special occasion holding area for that period if possible. As the subject is a female judge, it is also relevant to Women's History Month.

REVIEW: Close but not ready yet. (STRIKING PER BELOW, GTG FOR ALT2) The article is long enough, new enough, and appears to be neutral, adequately sourced, and no indication of copyvio issues. As a BLP, it conforms to the relevant policies. QPQ completed. The hook content is of appropriate length (165 characters with spaces), accurate, neutral, and interesting...however I think it is essential to mention her name in the hook. I would revise the hook, as proposed in ALT1, to state:
ALT1: ... that before her law career, Thokozile Masipa, the presiding judge assigned to the Oscar Pistorius murder trial worked as a crime reporter for The Sowetan newspaper?
Does the nominator agree?--ColonelHenry (talk) 19:59, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for reviewing. Her name was piped to make it more hooky but I don't have strong feelings about it. Please let me know what you think of ALT2 below (I have shown her name and tweaked the word order for better readability):
- ALT2:... that Thokozile Masipa, the presiding judge assigned to the Oscar Pistorius murder trial, worked as a crime reporter for The Sowetan newspaper before her law career?
- ALT2 works for me. Good to go on ALT2.--ColonelHenry (talk) 21:27, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
