  • Reviewed: Predictive policing
  • Comment: I can reword the hook if the wording is thought to be deceptive (perhaps implying he is blind all the time, not just at the end of the race he qualified in).

  • Article is long enough at 3,723 characters and new enough, being created on 5 January. The article is well-referenced with inline citations to a number of different reliable online sources and is neutral with no BLP issues. Duplication detector showed up no obvious copyvios or close paraphrasing to the sources cited. The hook is properly formatted and the hook fact is immediately cited and checks out to an online source and has no negative BLP impact. I don't have any problem with the hook fact being slightly deceptive - it's a quote and formatted as such and made me want to read the article and find out why he couldn't see anything, and it's explained in the article and the source. Good to go. --Bcp67 (talk) 10:03, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
