Talk:Los Angeles Police Department/GA1

GA Review

This article does not meet the Good Article criteria and has therefore failed. Issues include the [citation needed] tags found throughout the article, and several more sections go unreferenced. Once this article meets the criteria found at WP:GA?, then please renominate it. Gary King (talk) 02:24, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

It should also be noted that the picture of the badge in the infobox needs a detailed fair-use rationale. In addition, the references are missing important information. At minimum, they should include a title, publisher, url, and accessdate. If a publication date and/or author is listed, this information should be included as well. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for the {{cite web}} template. I would also recommend working with the "Chiefs of Police" and "Fallen Officers" sections. It would be best to work the wikilink to List of Los Angeles Police Department Chiefs of Police into the article rather than having a section header with just a link underneath. Likewise, the "Fallen Officers" section is only one sentence. It should either be expanded or worked into another section. One other thing that warrants a mention is the capitalization of section headers. With the exception of proper nouns, only the first word in section headers should be capitalized (eg. "Chiefs of Police" is fine, but "Fallen Officers" should be "Fallen officers). I hope this helps with future editing. GaryColemanFan (talk) 02:36, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
