Review commentary
[edit]0 in-text citations. Passed FA candidacy in 2005 and would not pass a FA today.--Berkunt (talk) 04:02, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Notified Nominator.--Berkunt (talk) 04:10, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Berkunt, please complete all the notifications per the instructions at the top of WP:FAR and post a list of the notifications back to the FAR, as in the sample at Wikipedia:Featured article review/Trigonometric functions. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 03:43, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Berkunt, thank you for bringing this article to our attention. The article's near complete lack (there is 1) of in-line citations means that this article is unworthy of GA or even B-class status in its current state, in my honest opinion. Fortunately, the person who nominated the article to become FA-class is still active, so he may be able to improve the quality of the article sufficiently.EasyPeasy21 (talk) 01:03, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- How our standards have risen. Citations a real problem. The prose needs a complete audit. TONY (talk) 03:29, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- True. I wish in those days somebody told me to use inline cites. As it stands... I will see if I can add some, but I doubt alone I will have the time to salvage it. I have to many wiki balls in the air and too much real life stuff to deal with... --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 12:51, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Irrecoverable. Multiple accuracy, POV and citation problems, not to mention other annoying issues like the map partially in Polish (en wiki here!) ... undoubtedly there to allow Polish nationalists to live in a nationalist historical fantasy! 77.28.26.116 (talk) 12:51, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment "undoubtedly there to allow Polish nationalists to live in a nationalist historical fantasy!" This is a conclusion which I believe is unfounded, and inappropriate as a result. I agree with 77.28.26.116 regarding the citation problem. The problem is a drawback that needs to be addressed. EasyPeasy21 (talk) 09:40, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Placing private raids of Mhiszek, Lisovsky and other robber barons under the 'Polish-' header, was wrong from the start. This title should have been reserved only for the period of Polish Crown actions. NVO (talk) 09:44, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
FARC commentary
[edit]- Suggested FA criteria concerns are referencing (1c) and prose (1a). Marskell (talk) 14:17, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Remove. Uncited, and not nearly good enough. ( Ceoil sláinte 21:30, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I have some books still from my Russian history class, and my library has some good sources. I wouldn't be able to handle this myself (espeically since I haven't studied the war in four years, and my soruces would only cover the Russian aspect fo the conflict) but if there are two or three other editors willing . . . WesleyDodds (talk) 23:16, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Remove, unless Piotrus manages to improve it.--Yannismarou (talk) 17:49, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Remove. Lacks sufficient citations as required by today's FA criteria. --maclean 20:45, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
