I'll review this. ★★RetroLord★★ 06:23, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
Ok. This article needs some serious improvement in regards to referencing. I am considering failing it outright. Please improve it. ★★RetroLord★★ 07:56, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
- Re: 1B - This paragraph is indented in the style of a blockquote. In the section titled "Block quotations", MOS:QUOTE states: "Format a long quote (more than about 40 words or a few hundred characters, or consisting of more than one paragraph, regardless of length) as a block quotation, which Wikimedia's software will indent from both margins. Do not enclose block quotations in quotation marks". This paragraph should not have quotation marks.
- Re: 2A - I rewrote and sourced most of Lin Biao's article last year, expanding it to its present size. I would have nominated it for GA status at that time, but there were a few unsourced paragraphs present before my work that I thought were true, but which I could not find sources for (some of which you have noted), and so I thought the nomination would fail for being insufficiently supported by inline citations (as it probably will now). I will do another search, but I am not confident that I can find sources for these paragraphs without access to better research material than I now have available.Ferox Seneca (talk) 03:42, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for your efforts. Just in case you didn't notice I have failed the GA so this may not be the best place to post this either. However, I will be very glad in the future to provide assistance should you require this to be GA reviewed again, ★★RetroLord★★ 09:41, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

1. Well-written: | ||
![]() |
1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct. | |
![]() |
1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation. |
"Lin Biao did not present the bluff, lusty face of Peng Dehuai." There are no quote marks around this paragraph but I assume it is a quote as it is indented. Could you fix this? Also it has no real lead in and seems a bit out of place. The next one of these has a lead in, and sits better. Could you write a lead in for this?

![]() |
2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline. |
