Louisiana Mayor's Courts

  • ... that in the United States Louisiana and Ohio are the only states with Mayor's Courts?
  • Reviewed:
  • Comment: Under "Mayor's Court" drop-down
Created by Otr500 (talk). Number of QPQs required: 0. Nominator has fewer than 5 past nominations.

General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

  • Adequate sourcing: No - There are at least one non-lead paragraph without sources (see the section Issues of conflicts of interest and bias). There are also failed verifications from sources, for example completely dead and recent sources (ref 5) and sources that links to appearently personal files on OneDrive (ref 4). Also see the comment I gave for the hook's source (ref 2).
  • Neutral: Yes
  • Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing: Yes

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - The source have a failed verification to the hook: it had zero mentions of the word "Ohio", so it's safe to assume that it didn't verify the hook.
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: No - I'm quite concerned about whether the hook is relevant to the article: it doesn't quite make sense to say that there are two states with Mayor Courts, but linking the bolded link to one of the state's court.
QPQ: None required.

Overall: Earwig said 16.7% simliarity, but Court costs section seems like the list is a mostly-copy of the source (with some modifications), so I'm not entirely sure about this. There are some style issues with the page, eg. starting a list without starting a new line and not using a list in the See also section. Overall, well done on creating the article, but there is some work required to be eligible DYK levels.

  • @Otr500: Have the above concerns been resolved, and is this ready for a re-review? Z1720 (talk) 02:37, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
    • OMG! I am so sorry all. I have been having problems, including health, the internet went out, and a laptop dying. I am better (I still have health issues), bought a new PC, and changed internet providers. Hopefully, this has not expired. I will try to resolve the issues (hopefully) tomorrow. -- Otr500 (talk) 00:06, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
Z1720 I think it is ready. I have made what I think are improvements, removed redundancy, replaced dead sources, and removed the improper source. I changed the list to prose and added more sources. I think I have covered all concerns unless I just overlooked something. -- Otr500 (talk) 06:29, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
@BlueMoonset: Giving the limited time remaining, would you mind taking over the review in this case? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:11, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
Reply: I never received any comments. I thought I addressed the issues and just figured it didn't go through. -- Otr500 (talk) 01:21, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
Narutolovehinata5, I cannot take over the review. I have, however, included it in the new "Older nominations needing DYK reviewers" listing, which should post shortly. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:42, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
As the nomination is timing out in a couple of days, asking @RoySmith, SL93, Amakuru, Theleekycauldron, and Valereee: to take a look at this. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 06:19, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
The sourcing is better than it was, but I'm not sure I love that it's largely sourced to government info pages. I wouldn't even say there's a clear demonstration of a GNG+NOPAGE pass in the article right now. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 17:06, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
