Nominator(s): MisterBee1966 (talk) 08:05, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

I am nominating this as the third of five lists for featured list because I feel this list already meets the criteria. Due to the few number of recipients in the years 1940 and 1941 the two years had to be merged into one list. Once completed the five lists 1940–1941 (currently a featured list), 1942 (currently a featured list), 1943, 1944 and 1945 will comprise all of the generally accepted 882 recipients of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves. I welcome any constructive feedback. Thanks in advance. MisterBee1966 (talk) 08:05, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

Resolved comments from The Rambling Man (talk) 17:53, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Comments Why is "court martial" in quotes, and why isn't it hyphenated, like our own article? done MisterBee1966 (talk) 19:17, 2 January 2011 (UTC) "therefore denoted in brackets" - you mean parentheses. done MisterBee1966 (talk) 19:35, 2 January 2011 (UTC) Generalleutnant and Generalmajor link to the same page, this is confusing. Generalleutnant#World War II explains the difference. Please advise on how you want me to handle this. MisterBee1966 (talk) 19:57, 2 January 2011 (UTC) Okay, well it's a shame it couldn't linked more directly for each term, but no major issue. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:03, 2 January 2011 (UTC) Consider using {{cite web}} for the external links and use the language parameter if these are (as they look) German language. done MisterBee1966 (talk) 19:51, 2 January 2011 (UTC) The Rambling Man (talk) 17:50, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Quick comments –

• Recipients of 1943: In the parenthetical Army, there's a bracket that shouldn't be there.
  • done MisterBee1966 (talk) 20:34, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
• If possible, make it so that note 15 doesn't have the contraction ("hadn't").
  • done MisterBee1966 (talk) 21:02, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
• Minor again, but reference 126 has a stray quotation mark. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 01:29, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

• Support Comment:
  • in Note # 15: "Stadler himself claimed that Dietrich proposed him on 22 March 1945..." I don't believe that "proposed him" is grammatically correct. I'm not exactly sure what is meant by it, so I haven't tweaked it. Are you using it to say "presented the medal to him"? If so, I think it should be changed to that. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 00:41, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
    • It better reads as "claimed that Dietrich had nominated him on 22 March 1945". Does this work? MisterBee1966 (talk) 17:12, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
      • Yes, that works for me. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 20:10, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

• Support, a well-written list that I see no problems with. Only concern I may have is the number of redlinks, since I'm sure they could all be blue, but that's not an FLC issue. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 19:48, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

• Support next up, 1944/45? Good, patient work. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:07, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

• Support Nice work!Intothatdarkness (talk) 18:26, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

• Support As I would expect, you have this down by now. Courcelles 18:50, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
