Needs copy editing. I've fixed the minor issues, but it needs a through going over.
"The defense contended that they held up the store to acquire weapons for self-defense because they feared attacks by their rivals, the Black Muslims." - reword to put that into context in a quote
I'm going to put this on hold for a week (Wednesday). @
AdoTang: & @
Epicgenius:, you've both put a lot of work into this, so maybe you can get it up to GA standards in a week. I've certainly seen weirder things happen!
Hey, thanks for reviewing this.
Unfortunately, just about every single photo of the incident was taken by The New York Times, which I believe we can't use. I might try to add a map pinpointing where the incident occurred, though I don't know how to work with maps.
I'll give the article a look-over, but I thought it was pretty okay last time I checked.
@
Argenti Aertheri: Expanded the article and touched upon some stuff you mentioned. I plan to add a map pinpointing the location soon if I can. Any other pointers?

That is unfortunate about the images, I just spent a bit playing with maps though. You can stick this directly in the info box, or change it to say whatever you want. It's using
Template:Maplink (failed attempted removed, see next)

I still think it needs some copy editing, but now that I understand what it's trying to say I can take care of that myself. Looks like you've fixed most everything else, and images aren't required in order to pass, so it'll likely be good to go tomorrow. I'm done for the night though, I'll CE it probably late tomorrow and then pass it.

@
AdoTang: I just finished a thorough copy edit, please make sure everything still looks good to you. If so, do you want me to add a map before I pass it?
~ Argenti Aertheri(Chat?) 01:36, 13 August 2023 (UTC)reply
Once I pass this I'm going to see if I can find a link directly to that last citation. I had marked it a bad link because it redirects to the site's homepage.

Free of
copyright violations,
plagiarism, and
close paraphrasing: - The Earwig result shows 43.8% similarity. Most of it is quotes but there are some instances of close paraphrasing. A few instances are:
"The killings occurred... had seemingly turned away from the Nation of Islam"
"The NYPD's 90th Precinct... by a silent alarm and a Bushwick High School student who managed to escape"
"... a typist had incorrectly described one of the weapons"
I would check Earwig and the sources and try to make sure that everything has been put into your own words.
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Overall: If you can just resolve the close paraphrasing issues above, I'm happy to pass this review.

Sammielh: Reworded these lines and a few others. Earwig now says 39.4% for the Bushwick Daily source as of typing this, and almost all of the flags are for quotes.

@
AdoTang: Thank you for rewording. I've taken another look and it is now almost entirely quotes and names being picked up by earwig. The source for ALT2 doesn't specifically say that Schlossberg was one of the people considering that approach but I'm happy to approve any of the other hooks. — Preceding
