A Limo For A Lame-O

edit

Created by Daniel Case (talk). Self-nominated at 04:15, 6 May 2015 (UTC).

  • New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. I prefer the original hook, which is verified and cited inline. Only one paragraph lacks a citation: the last one under "Hiring of Jean Doumanian". QPQ done. Yoninah (talk) 00:36, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

  • Thank you. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 16:14, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
  • Paardon me if I'm missing something, but whence comes the "worst season" characterization? And even if sourced, it at least needs to be in quotes, if not attributed. EEng (talk) 22:30, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
 Done@EEng:: I have added a quote to the source used and put that source in the intro. I have also rephrased the hook so it's clear that this is a general opinion outside Wikipedia. I'm not sure I could use quotes or attribution and not keep the hook succinct. Daniel Case (talk) 00:09, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
If you don't mind my slight edit to the article and hook I'm OK with it now, not that it's up to me or anything. EEng (talk) 06:00, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
  • I saw that quote in the source; thanks for adding it to the article. Good to go (again). Yoninah (talk) 15:14, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
