Howdy! I'll be reviewing this article today. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. 🐱FatCat96🐱 Chat with Cat 17:18, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Failing this nomination. No effort was taken to address my concerns. This is a very interesting and nice article, but needs some improvement to pass as a good article. Feel free to re-nominate once the issues have been addressed. 🐱FatCat96🐱 Chat with Cat 03:48, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rate	Attribute	Review Comment
1. Well-written:
	1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.	Pass
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.	Looks good here, but MOS:LEADCITE advises removing the citations in the lead and making sure the same information appears and is cited in the body.
2. Verifiable with no original research:
	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.	Pass
	2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).	The first paragraph of "Investigation and conviction" has a sentence that isn't cited. Otherwise, all looks good here.
	2c. it contains no original research.	The article by the Lexington Herald never says that Conn was born in Pikeville. You also haven't provided a source for his date of birth.
	2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.	Pass, no major concerns found
3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.	The article by the Lexington Herald mentions that Conn served in the army for a couple of years. It also mentions that he was married three times. You should consider adding this information to the article.
	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).	I believe it goes into a bit of unnecessary detail when describing Alfred Bailey Adkins custody at FCI Ashland and his release date. After all, the article is about Conn and not Adkins.
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.	Pass
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.	Pass, no issues of stability or unresolved issues on talk
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
	6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.	It would be nice to have a little more information on the photo, such as date of birth, but it's not a necessity. Pass.
	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.	The photo is relevant, but it doesn't have a caption. Please consider adding a caption.
	7. Overall assessment.
