Verifiable with no original research:

(a) it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline;

(c) it contains no original research.

Broad in its coverage:

(a) it addresses the main aspects of the topic;^[3] and

(b) it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).

Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.

^[4]

Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:

Discussion

Plot
- "his first trip vacation since the murder of his wife" - I think that "trip" is redundant in this sentence.
- "a film about him will be done" - perhaps "a film will be produced" instead?
- "only stolen few money and a wristwatch" - can you rephrase, I'm not sure about "few money".
- "believing he is Monk, tells Leverett is the killer." - I think you're missing a word there.

I've had another look, and I think those points above are the only issues with the article. Miyagawa (talk) 08:00, 4 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, Miyagawa. If that's all, I think I've already done it. Gabriel Yuji (talk) 15:39, 4 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

Additional notes

^ Compliance with other aspects of the Manual of Style, or the Manual of Style mainpage or subpages of the guides listed, is not required for good articles.
^ Either parenthetical references or footnotes can be used for in-line citations, but not both in the same article.
^ This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required of featured articles; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail, and overviews of large topics.
^ Vandalism reversions, proposals to split or merge content, good faith improvements to the page (such as copy editing), and changes based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. Nominations for articles that are unstable because of unconstructive editing should be placed on hold.
^ Other media, such as video and sound clips, are also covered by this criterion.
^ The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement. However, if images (or other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then some such images should be provided.
