First impressions edit

I will review this article. Upon first look, no dead or disambiguation links. The existing prose appears acceptable, but the article is otherwise short and unprepared to pass GA review unless drastically improved. For example:

  • Insufficiently sourced: The lead contains an unsourced paragraph (this would be acceptable if the lead summarized information elsewhere in the article that was properly sourced). I found the French version of the quote "he is a responsible man ..." in citation [6]; please note that every quote must be immediately followed by the citation of the source (see WP:QUOTE). However, the quote "We will do everything so ..." is unsourced.
  • Broadness of coverage: No information about Musulin's background or his upbringing? The infobox mentions he was born in Serbia; when and how did he enter France? When did he acquire the Ferrari? The lead mentions discussion on a social networking site — which site(s) are these?
    • I also recommend checking for accuracy as the infobox had previously listed Serbia as his place of birth, though this source states that he was born in Saint-Martin-d'Hères. KimChee (talk) 10:27, 6 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
  • Images: None to illustrate the topic?
  • Copyediting needed:
    • First and last paragraph in lead section are each only one sentence long.
    • Date formats can be either in American or British style, but should be consistently applied in the article and followed by a comma after the year, especially if used as a parenthetical in mid-sentence.
    • Number formats should use decimal periods (not commas) in English language articles
    • Usage of "euro" that is not at the beginning of a sentence should be lower case.
    • Names of publications, such as The Epoch Times should be italicized and spelled correctly. It is also not always necessary to include the names of publications in the prose if they are cited in the references. KimChee (talk) 22:54, 8 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Summary edit

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria


This article is short and requires improvement to pass GA review.

  1. Is it well written?
    A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:  
    B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:  
    Copyediting needed (see above).
  2. Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?
    A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:  
    B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):  
    Sections of the article, including quotes, are unsourced (see above).
    C. It contains no original research:  
    D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:  
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:  
    Lacking information about the subject's background or upbringing.
    B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):  
  4. Is it neutral?
    It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:  
  5. Is it stable?
    It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:  
  6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
    A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:  
    No images.
    B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:  
    If finding a free image of the subject is difficult, I suggest looking for location maps or perhaps matching models of vehicles used in the crime.
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:  
      GA failed. Sorry, but no activity on article by nominator in the past 4 weeks. KimChee (talk) 00:27, 18 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
