GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.
- Is it well written?
- A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
- In the Drug trafficking section, "The Abergils", you need to explain who the Abergils are, this is for your reader who reads this article. Same section, "According to the LA Times", "according" seems to sound odd, maybe if the sentence was re-worded.
- Done - rephrased --Flewis(talk) 07:25, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
- Check. Also, the lead seems to be short and it may be a good idea to expand it a little more, per here. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 16:16, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
- I've expanded and added in extra info into the prose. Does the lead specifically require any more work? --Flewis(talk) 01:58, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
- Nope, that'll do fine. Check. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 20:54, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

- B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
- In the lead, it would be best if "Israel" was linked once, per here. In the Drug trafficking section, the quote is not supposed to be italicized, per here. Same section, "LA Times" needs to be changed to "Los Angeles Times" and italicize it, since its a newspaper and per here. The article tends to have "red links", if they don't have articles, it would be best to un-link them, per here.
- Done --Flewis(talk) 07:25, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
- Half-check. You forgot the quote. Also, dates need to be unlinked, per here and in the Murders and assassinations section, "Murder" is linked twice, link it once and if there are any more links that are linked twice, please, unlink them. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 16:16, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
