I saw the title on WP:GAN and thought, hmmm, interesting article. I ended up reading all of it, and so I might as well review it.

- These three are all in the first source—the ITV documetary transcript

Possible future improvements beyond GA edit
- This article currently relies heavily on 3 web sources. This reliance may hinder further progress and promotion of this article.
- Indeed, but the sources cited are about the only decent ones on the subject, though I will dig to see if I can find more. Offline sources are alongshot, though.
- To meet further standards, inline citations for the lead section may be necessary.
- I always write my lead after I write the body so that it's a summary of the body. Since all the information is in the body, it shouldn't require citations.
- If available, more details about the cryptic Mensa-style messages may be useful. --Deryck C. 23:10, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
- That would be interesting to know now you mention it, I'll see if I can find anything. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:01, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
- I wouldn't mind seeing an image or two in the article as well, even if it's only of a Tesco store, or a locality in which police made a search. It's not a must but images do tend to make articles more attractive. Gatoclass (talk) 15:51, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
- I'll see what I can find. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:01, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks to both of you for your comments. The title and the layout caused me a few headaches—any comments on those? HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:01, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
- Not sure what headaches the title and layout have caused you. What's the problem? --Deryck C. 21:47, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
- I wasn't sure what to call it, and I'm more used to writing biogrpahies, so I struggled a little with what to call the section headers. It all seems to have worked out, but I was just wondering if you would do things any differently. Other than that, I think I've got all your concerns and even managed to find a couple of images.
