Comments by reviewer:

  • I haven't checked everything in the article.
  • I didn't find the details of the previous incidents in the sources.
  • Also didn't find "standard issue" or "Internal Affairs Bureau". Also please be sure there aren't other "details" like this that aren't actually supported by the sources (and aren't sufficiently obvious to include without sourcing); ferreting these things out during review makes review more difficult.
  • Attribution is needed for, and not provided for, nearly everything here; as best I've been able to tell so far, it's all from some variant of "police" or (occasionally) "officials". It'd be a lot easier for a reviewer to verify probably-correct attribution than to try to untangle what needs to be added.
  • The age of the deceased is listed as 18 in two sources but 19 in the other; I suggest "late teens" would cover it neatly.

Questions about the above? Ask.

If possible, please address the above issues then resubmit the article for another review (by replacing {{tasks}} in the article with {{review}}). This talk page will be updated with subsequent reviews.


For the gun thing, see w:NYPD#Firearms. For Internal Affairs, I don't really see any other NYPD or NYC gov't agency which would investigate. Cocoaguytalkcontribs‽ 03:20, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
Also, every other source I've seen has said 18yrs of age. Cocoaguytalkcontribs‽ 03:25, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
See new source. Cocoaguytalkcontribs‽ 03:33, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
And if by previous incidents you mean the other shootings, check the last paragraph of the NYT. Cocoaguytalkcontribs‽ 03:34, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
Wikipedia cannot be a source; I wouldn't have expected to have to point that out. --Pi zero (talk) 04:01, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
Okay. Here is an old NYPD link [1]. For some reason, they took it down a little while ago, but i don't think they changed the criteria. Cocoaguytalkcontribs‽ 04:16, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
When there were three sources, two saying 18 and one 19, I felt "late teens" the better part of valor; with three sources saying 18 to one saying 19, it seems tolerable to let the 18 stand. --Pi zero (talk) 04:56, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
