Review of revision 915762 [Passed][edit]

This article needs to be renamed, would do it myself but the move button seems to have dissappeared. The title is inaccurate, as it stands it implys that the fiancee died in the staged car accident, while in truth she had been murdered with hammer (as the first sentence makes clear) and the staged car accident was an attempt to hide that fact. UK policeman convicted of murdering WPC fiancée would be accurate without going into too much detail.KTo288 (talk) 19:05, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It would also be boring. I carefully used 'after' not 'in'. Remember, we have to convince people to read it based on the title - the unusual circumstances are important to highlight here. BTW, rename is now located in the drop-down between the star and search assuming you use the default skin. Blood Red Sandman (Talk) (Contribs) 19:09, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks found the button. Yes we need to convince people to read the article, but for those who don't go on to read the full story, just reading the title should give them the majority of the story. Someone who just read the title and did not read the article may be mislead.KTo288 (talk) 21:56, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I think given what it says, people will realise this is quite strange as soon as they see the title. Regardless, it cerfuly stops short of saying or implying the crash killed her; if people try and judge the world from newspaper titels then they are in trouble. (Yes, some people do, but such people are not in WN's target audience unless we can convince them to start reading properly). Blood Red Sandman (Talk) (Contribs) 14:05, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
