Review of revision 1307142 [Passed][edit]

This title doesn't make sense[edit]

Was the girl ignored by 18 people or were the drivers ignored? fetch·comms 18:31, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Article needs editor to copy edit it[edit]

Examples:

  • who was hit and run by two van drivers; Hit and run is not a verb. Needs rewording to avoid misusing the English language.
  • who was hit and run by two van drivers, then disregarded by eighteen passers-by - 18 passers-by disregarded the two van drivers? Doesn't anyone pay attention to van drivers in China?
  • last week shows the onlookers pass her' should be onlookers passed her; did it happen in the past, or are they continuing to pass her? Or what?
  • Should be hyphens in "Two year old" and "58 year old", as in "Two-year-old" and "58-year-old".
  • The local government is now looking to bring in a law ??? What is meant here? How is a government "looking to bring in a law". Does it mean the government is looking into passing a law or is the government looking to bring in a law from somewhere else?

Needs editor familiar with English to fix!!! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Antidisestablish (talkcontribs)
