What are you citing with source 1 in the sentence beginning "As the detective commander for Brooklyn, he once oversaw an investigation of a shooting death..." That source doesn't support the "proceeded to find the guilty party by picking at place on the map at random" claim. You should use source 4 if that's the contentious point you feel needs a cite.
"Newspapers, namely The New York Times and New York Post published the news often with a quote from Chief Seedman and he was a frequent on the evening news" Comma after New York Post. I think it would be better say "often included a quote from Chief Seedman in news reports" instead of "published the news often with a quote from Chief Seedman". Presumably you mean "he was frequently on the evening news"
Why is there a cite after "rising through the ranks" in the middle of the sentence? Cites should come after punctuation. I can't find mention of him being promoted to detective (rather than chief of detectives) in either source 3 or 1.
"his unorthodox approaches that solved otherwise perplexing case" -> "his unorthodox approaches to solving otherwise perplexing case"
"The man normally was out shopping at the time, Seedman insisted on entering the his apartment through a window" -> "The man was normally out shopping around the time, but Seedman insisted on entering his apartment through a window"
"By 1962, he had become a captain" -> "By 1962, Seedman had become a captain"
"That was the first time that that had happened to a pair of NYPD officers in 30 years" -> "This was the first time a pair of NYPD officers were killed on duty in 30 years"
"Some photographers, who arrived late, complained to Seedman"
"He obligingly brought Dellernia out for them to see again" -> "He obligingly brought Dellernia out again nfor them to see"
I can't find anything about the BLA in source 1, beyond "Three pairs of police officers were shot — four of the officers were killed and two grievously wounded — in ambushes by the Black Liberation Army" What source are you using for the claims you make about the BLA
"in one, no suspects have ever been identified" How do we know this attack was related to the BLA in that case?
Fixed A lot of this was stuff from the
Black Liberation Army article that I had never imported sources for. Turns out to have been a benifical lapse: I found
this excellent Politico article (well, a book excerpt really) that tells this all in more detail and updates. They have subsequently identified and prosecuted some of the suspects. So I expanded this portion of the article and updated it accordingly.

1972 Harlem mosque incident
"iman" -> "Iman"
"Another officer's gun was missing" -> "Another officer's gun went missing"
"tried to figure out what had happened" It's not clear whether you're referring to the police or the crowd here
"the other worshippers were placed in custody" -> "the other worshippers were placed in custody"
"Seedman was planning to interrogate them when he showed up" -> "Seedman planned to interrogate them when he arrived"
"Seedman claimed they offered to have the mosque worshippers show up" Who is "they"?
"Louis 17X Dupree" Is 17X a middle name, nom de guerre, nickname, codename as an informant or a typo?
This is not uncommon with
Black Muslims from that era ... many dropped what they considered
slave names for either Arabic ones or, in this case, alphanumerics, usually with "X", that reflect the order in which they joined whatever congregation it was (so saith the note in the intro of
Clarence 13X, an FA).
It wasn't clear to me on initial reading that you meant a Facebook Page for Seedman's memoir.
I've taken most of that out ... it has been added in the past by Seedman's family, who have been a little bitter over us having deleted the first version of the article that they started themselves after his death, so I haven't been too militant otherwise in enforcing this.

External links "should not normally be placed in the body of an article" Can you add the link to Seedman's Facebook Page for his memoirs to the See Also section?
I use what is in there because it links to a photo of the letter in question from the French government, and Seedman
posted it there himself as he was alive at the time. I suppose we could have the top-level link in xlinks.

"trying to spur interest in a series" -> "trying to spur interest in a television series"
"Jerome Charyn recalls Seedman saying" I think you need to say "Crime novelist" or at least "novelist" again here, as it's so long since you first mentioned him
"and in 2019 viewed by the largest audience to date, the millions of global Netflix subscribers watching Martin Scorsese's" Make it clear that you mean this was Netflix' largest audience to date
"report following the infamous mobster crime" Which crime?
This part is in here because of
a particularly determined new editor who I went back and forth with in March, at which time the nomination was still pending. He put this stuff in the intro; I took it out and he decided OK, it would be better down there. I didn't feel like having a huge fight about it, especially with the nom pending; the last thing you'd want is for the article to be under page protection. And I thought maybe this guy could be encouraged to become a good-faith contributor (in retrospect I was wrong; this is all he seemed to have been interested in). So I let it go for a while.
All look good, but you credit source 24 to Albert Seedman even though he died in 2013. And is there a better source for his appearance in 'The Irishman'? A personal Facebook page doesn't screma RELIABLE to me
Thanks @
Daniel Case:. I think you're right to remove the Cultural section. I didn't suggest it myself, but it seemed really fluffy. Happy to promote! If you can deal with the following really minor points, that would be great:
"This was the first time a pair of NYPD officers were killed on duty in 30 years" My bad, should have said "This was the first time a pair of NYPD officers had been killed on duty in 30 years""
"In November 2012, Seedman posted on his Facebook page that French President François Hollande had named Albert Seedman a Chevalier of the
Legion of Honour in recognition of his military service there during World War II." Seedman posted that ... Albert Seedman. Can you word this better? Reminds me of the kind of third-person statements used by wrestlers!
