Taking a look at this one, off to a good start. —Ed!(talk) 00:12, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
Overall
- Dablink, dup and copyvio detectors return nothing unusual.
- Seeing three dead links that need to replaced or removed.
- Also important, the typical MOS is to title the article "Murder of [Name]" if it has been legally declared one, which might be a good thing to do here, the fact that it was a murder and the form of murder makes it notable.
The Event
- Any details on birth, where he attended school, parents, or details of life before dropping out? With some time removed from the case it should be organized so there is some context to set up the event itself. Perhaps the motive could be worked in to understand how Wells got involved and any known details about how this plan came together, etc.
- Does Wells have a criminal record? Necessary if the mugshot is his.
- Any idea of where he met the accomplices?
- "At the television tower, Wells found the plot had changed,..." was this according to police reports also? Should be made clear.
- "Around 15 minutes later, police spotted Wells standing outside his Geo Metro..." what was the plan at this point? Was he to meet with someone or have some reason to be standing there?
- Some kind of introduction needs to be made to Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong and Kenneth Barnes and their backgrounds as well. Probably an "accomplices" section. It mentions "conspirators" who are not named — how many others are unidentified?
- What police department responded?
- What
- "It is believed that Wells was killed by Diehl-Armstrong... " believed by who? Avoid weasel words. Also, again would need to cite who is telling the stories, if they were police theories or if they were unveiled in court. Want to make sure sure we're clear on what we're alleging.
- No where in the article does it mention that the FBI cut his head off to remove the collar, rather than cut the collar. Giant disrespect to him, it seems like his family is still upset by it. Should probably be in here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:C410:2740:BCBB:321D:E832:2168 (talk) 23:47, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
Aftermath
- This should probably be split into a section or two.
- What mental disorders were alleged with Diehl-Armstrong?
- What courts were dealing with this case? The wording is not specific.
- The book you mention in ref 33 begs some scrutiny. What does it say, and how credible is it?
- According to the documentary on Netflix, Rothstein DID attempt suicide, he clearly shows his wrist to the investigators and they ask about the "bag of blood" and he says "My lame attempt at suicide" or something like that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.0.212.4 (talk) 16:13, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
- The black mirror reference is good; it should be asked if there is any other kind of inspiration that episode saw from this case directly.
Media attention
- "The incident and the subsequent investigation were covered in American national media several times..." which outlets specifically? Wired is the only subsequent media outlet that is mentioned as covering the case, the others are a TV show, a scientific study and a book.
- On the subject of the study, what was its conclusion?
Status query edit
Ed!, Drewmutt, what is the current status of this review? As far as I can tell, the only thing that has been done to this article since the review was posted is its move to a new article name, which was done a few hours later, over five weeks ago. Will the necessary work be completed soon? Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:17, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
