Talk:Color of the day (police)

This article is a good article. This means the community feels it is written well.

Things to fix before GA voting

• Some ideas of mine...
  • Is there a real need to disambiguate the title with (police)? We don´t have a Color of the day article so I suggest you move this one there.
    • I think so; the color of the day is also a rule that is a part of Thai Buddhist astrology. I wanted to leave room for an import of en:Color of the day. If I move the article, then it will have to be admin-moved later on when/if the Buddhist article is created (which I probably will do at some point) in order to maintain parity with enWP.
  • For repeated notes (e.g. 2, 3 and 4 & 8 and 9), use ref name.
    •  Done (No excuse, I know how to do it, and should always do it [cut/paste = me being lazy]) :)
  • Per MOS, move references to immediately follow punctuation wherever possible, e.g. move [10] behind the comma and [11] behind the full stop.
    •  Done; I'm always doing that! :)
  • Fix ref 7 (i.e. complete the fields accessdate and publisher as a minimum) and for references with only one page used, use p. not pp.
    •  Done
  • I think you should clearly state what it is used for in the lead, at least in summary.
    •  Done
  • Avoid contractions such as "don't" per MOS.
    •  Done
  • See if you can find a link for safety, perhaps Wiktionary?
    •  Done
  • "With such a large amount of armed officers..." I´d prefer "With so many armed officers..."

Complex terms

Hi, just a brief list of the complex terms which I think should linked, redescribed or explained in more detail...

• police

 Done

• episode

 Done

• work day

 Done changed to weekday

• disturb

 Done link to wikt

• "act like drunken" (pretend to be drunk - linking both pretend and drunk?)

 Done "pretend to be drunk

• recognition system - no need for recognition I think...

 Done

• "black policing" - black is ambiguous here so be specific.

 Done changed to African American (although I personally feel this is also problematic, the correct biological term is negroid or negro both of which are socially unacceptable)

Also, head-band or headband? And wrist band or wristband... Be consistent. The Rambling Man on tour (talk) 22:57, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
