- Is that the Guild of non-collaboration and needless criticism? Or the Guild of copy editors who try and improve articles? Hopefully someone in a good mood will fix this. Happy New Year to all those helping with this important collaborative DYK project.Victuallers (talk) 17:39, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
- We could also write a hook based on the fact thast he signed a $1200m deal with a non-existant company..... but DYK/BLP rules prevent this. Any positive ideas?Victuallers (talk) 18:07, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
- Ouch "shoddy state"? Seriously, what kind of language is that to be using with a fellow contributor? Ever heard of WP:Be nice?
- Has anyone got any specific suggestions as to what needs improving? AndrewRT(Talk) 22:52, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
- I don't see any glaring problems with the prose. Eisfbnore, keep in mind this is not FA or GA.
- Length, ref, history check out. I'm neutral about the hook; it seems like it might be a bit politically biased, but then again it does come from a pretty reliable source. rʨanaɢ (talk) 15:37, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
This needs someone to either re-review it or finish reviewing it. Anyone?
