Robinson v Chief Constable of West Yorkshire Police

  • Looked at both citations and all, including the hooks. ALT1 is more interesting than ALT0 (Although both are in their own way), so I'm choosing that. However, Earwig's Copyvio Detector shows a 84.5% chance of similarly with the UK Human Rights Blog. Check here for reference and see where you can make the edits to avoid plagiarism issues.

  • @Ominae: Thanks for your review. I've looked at the plagiarism detector, but the match appears to be because of the block quotes that are used in the article, which highlight the important parts of what the judges thought and are taken from the judgments (and cited as such). I'd looked at other Wikipedia pages on law cases, and they've also seem to make use of block quotes. The article also uses and cites the Human Rights Blog in the 'Significance' section. In light of this, would keeping the article in its current state be acceptable? Bibliopole5795 (talk) 00:39, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Okay. I think a new review is in order. Thanks for the answer. Ominae (talk) 02:23, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
  • comment only - Good to check that block quotes have quote marks. I think a few are missing - Victuallers (talk) 22:40, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
  • @Victuallers: Sorry, could you clarify what you mean? I included two block quotes in the article, and both of them have quotation marks? Bibliopole5795 (talk) 13:27, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
I have added the missing quotes identified by the copyvio detector and added a "citation needed". I think you ask a lot of the reviewer to not identify the specific clause you use to back up your hooks. I didnt intend to do a review but it took a while to unpick. I have just read the entire judgement and I cannot see the place where they specifically and unilaterally agree on a duty of care to the public. In fact there are clauses that specifically warn against this. If you add "generally" to the first hook then its a goer as I have added a ref to where I think this is true. The citation needed has to be taken care of and as the DYKadvice says "strongly suggest" that a source is provided next time. ALT1 IMO doesnt explain the context of the blog comment quoted or the law that is being clarified, but it is a correct quote. I would suggest that the main hook could be ticked if you agree with my evaluation. Victuallers (talk) 14:43, 31 March 2021 (UTC) ALT2 would need some else to tick Victuallers (talk) 15:27, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
  • @Victuallers: I've just had a re-read through of the judgment myself and I agree with what you said. I've re-wrote the first hook as ALT-3 to better fit what the judges actually said, in line with the quote you provided in the ref. As for ALT 2, I actually really like it and I think it might be better than what I originally wrote? I'd be happy to wait for another assessment to figure out which hook to use. Bibliopole5795 (talk) 01:05, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
Alt1 is OK and Alt3 is better, but the nominator likes Alt2. Can someone review Alt2 please?
Bibliopole5795, a number of paragraphs are unsourced. Can you please add sources where they're missing, and ping me when you've done so? MeegsC (talk) 14:12, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
  • Bibliopole5795 There is one minor issue. Can you add a reference after "The appellant appealed to the Supreme Court" and then I will promote it? SL93 (talk) 22:29, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
