Talk:Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, former publisher of The New York Times, dies aged 86

Er

Clearly some copyediting will be needed here; whether it's within range for an independent review is harder to say without closer scrutiny. Some points that catch the eye:

• According to his family Sulzberger had a long illness.

One wonders when this illness was, in relation to his death.

• Sulzberger left the chief executive position and succeeded to his son

Um. wikt:succeed.

• United States President Barack Obama said, "he was saddened by news of Sulzberger's death."

This begs the question of who Obama was referring to when Obama said "he".

• An assistant managing editor for the New York Times, Jim Roberts said that the publisher's death is a "monumental contributor to journalism."

Say what?

Review of revision 1645467 [Passed]

Revision 1645467 of this article has been reviewed by Pi zero (talk · contribs) and has passed its review at 21:06, 2 October 2012 (UTC). Copyright: Passed Newsworthiness: Passed Verifiability: Passed NPOV: Passed Style: Passed Comments by reviewer: If I'd been able to review this days ago, I'd have sent it back as not-ready without compunction. Unfortunately, here at the very outer edge of the time window before it goes unambiguously {{stale}}, it either gets published now or it doesn't get published at all. Two one-sentence paragraphs I felt I could not repair within my purview as independent reviewer; removing them, as I have, leaves the article on the edge of minimal length for a standalone article. I could have called it either way. The reviewed revision should automatically have been edited by removing {{Review}} and adding {{Publish}} at the bottom, and the edit sighted; if this did not happen, it may be done manually by a reviewer.
