thread_title:  Rewrite 

message: I think this has been written by a member of the family lots of the so called facts which supposedly point to innocence are conjecture or just downright incorrect for example it was proven at the triaL that Gordon did not sell the boat till July 1976 not June therefore he could have had the boat at the time of the murder.
Wikpedia is supposed to be accurate, not the forum of a very sad family who cannot accept the truth. I sat through the whole trial, belive me he is guilty.
:I would very much appreciate your input in the article then. If you can add information that is well referenced then PLEASE do so. I am the author of this version of the article, and I can assure you that I am not a family member, just a teenager with an interest in local history. Everything that is in the article is referenced to various websites that I have come across while searching for information- another editor already mentioned that there is a bias, when I voiced my concern that there may be at a peer review here.

thread_title: Bias

message: Ok, I just reverted a large amount of this article. That is because the new information seemed even more biased in Gordon's favour than the original article was, and some of the claims were unsourced. All of the edits I reverted can be seen here, but I kept the new spelling of Rachael. The areas that I had the most problems with was the unsourced rant about the rocks in the lake, and the unsourced mention of the vigils happening every year. Also, the unsourced point about the people being Rachael's friends- that stunk of bias. If that information is going to be added, then please source it, and let us strive to remain neutral here. I have had an idea for fixing the neutrality of the article involving the case controversy section- there was a Daily Mail article- if I edit the section to include only the items that are mentioned there, then that should remove some of the speculative fluff.

replies: text: The rigor mortis explanation and the point about the witness being too far away were also unsourced. J Milburn 16:41, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Large revert 

message: Tempted to quick fail but you should be able to sort this out soon hopefully. You have several non-free images without any fair use, sort that out and I'll do a proper review. On a separate point, you might consider looking up primary sources, the judgements from courts and academic databases, to back it up a bit more. But the coverage is good. You also have two red links you might want to do something about. - J Logan t/c: 18:58, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, the images do have a fair use rationale? It was tagged as being for Gordon Park, but this article was called that until recently. I have changed the message, as well as updating the rationales a little. I wouldn't know where to get the primary sources from, to be honest, but I would be happy to do that if someone could point me in the right direction. I will look into the redlinks. J Milburn 20:03, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Redlinks dealt with. J Milburn 20:06, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh my bad on the fair use, I am used to seeing it in the formal table. That's fine, good on the red links. As for the academic source, seems the decent sources I can't get at now I'm not studying law an more, free sources seem to have no record of case. -on that btw, you might want to note down the name of the case, think it is "R v Park [2005]". So, happy to pass this though, it is written well, full citation, covers everything and I don't find it biased, has been stable of late and the images are fine. So yes, well done and keep up the good work. - J Logan t/c: 21:47, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Hello! I have noticed that this good article has two cleanup tags (, ) and a few  templates (currently, 5) which made me question if this article should be reassessed. It has two cleanup banners that are unquestionably still valid, and five statements without proper citations, which are mentioned in the immediate failures tab. I am not fully sure if the article's GA status is still valid, so I am leaving this up for discussion. Luxtaythe2nd (talk) 06:23, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
