Phishing[edit]

This artical has been used twice as a source for articals written about Phishing in general. I believe that because of this, this artical has what it takes to become a featured artical. --ZeWrestler 18:50, 24 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Refer to Peer Review - This article could be FA worthy, but it doesn't read very well right now. I see several run-on sentences (such as the first sentence of the lead section), and the grammar isn't quite clear in other places. Rather than a text copy of a sample scam email, better would be a screenshot of an email client with a scam email displayed (to show that they usually will include html code that loads real-looking graphics). Only two references and those to online news sources? There is a lot more information on the internet about phishing, like all of the information released by the United States Federal Trade Commission [1]. slambo 19:19, May 24, 2005 (UTC)
  • Peer review. Agree with Slambo's excellent feedback. Harro5 00:10, May 25, 2005 (UTC)
