Hey, I'm going to be reviewing this article. Expect comments by the end of the week. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 20:18, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox and lead

In the infobox: "US" → "U.S."
Birthdate needs a source (either in infobox or lead).
Lead summarizes the article so that's in good shape.

Early life and career

Remove the commas after "study electronics" and "2016 presidential election".
Everything is sourced so I couldn't find any other issues in this section.

Storming of the Capitol

Every word in "first responder unit" should be capitalized.
"were charged" → "was charged"
Recite sources at the end of each quote per WP:CITE.
"they are" → "they're"
- Shouldn't we avoid contractions as per MOS:CONTRACTIONS? Edge3 (talk) 03:48, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I guess we should. Thanks for the link!

Homicide investigation

Link CNN.
CNN actually says that it was "the DC Metropolitan Police Department's homicide branch".
Move the reference after "murder" to the end of the sentence it is in.

Memorials and funeral

This section looks good (no issues).

References and other comments

Mark references from The New York Times with "|url-access=limited".
Mark references from The Washington Post with "|url-access=limited".
CBS New York → WCBS-TV
New York Times → The New York Times
Washington Post → The Washington Post
Try to be consistent whether or not to italicize certain sources such as CNN.
Sources are all already archived.
Optional, but try linking websites in each reference.
- I'm not sure what you mean. Could you please clarify this suggestion? Edge3 (talk) 03:48, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

For example, if a reference is from The New York Times, link it with "|website=[[The New York Times]]".

@Some Dude From North Carolina: Thanks for your suggestions! I think I've addressed most of them, and left comments for two items that I had questions about. Let me know if I missed anything on your list, or if there are other suggestions that you have! Edge3 (talk) 03:48, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Edge3: Thanks for the quick reply. I have responded to both of your comments above. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 11:42, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Anyway, since most of my main suggestions have already been addressed, I'm passing the article. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 12:18, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
