We are nominating this for featured article because it successfully went through MILHIST A class review in January 2013 and has been incrementally improved since then. Pećanac was a Serbian Chetnik vojvoda who fought in four wars, but came unstuck when he began collaborating with the German occupation forces during the internecine guerilla warfare that dominated Yugoslavia during World War II.

Support on prose per standard disclaimer. I've looked at the changes made since I reviewed this for A-class. These are my edits. - Dank (push to talk) 13:09, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Kosta Vojinović is a red link in the lead section, but Special:WhatLinksHere/Kosta Vojinović nothing else links there. Maybe that's a sufficient indicator that perhaps he's not lead section material? I see now that Toplica insurrection links to Kosta Vojnović. OTOH, that's ambiguous because Konstantin Vojnović was also referred to that way. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 13:41, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. I've dab'd this one as (soldier) here and in the uprising article. Peacemaker67 (send... over) 23:02, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sources and images but no spotchecks

  • Captions that aren't complete sentences shouldn't end in periods
    • Fixed.
  • Why the italics on the dog's name?
    • No longer relevant, image removed.
  • File:Kosta_Pekianec.jpg: in what source was this first published?
    • Unable to track down original publication. Will likely use image for primary identification under NFC tag.
  • File:Srpske_Vojvode_u_Staroj_Srbiji_i_Makedoniji.png: in what source was this first published?
  • File:Kosta_Pekyanets1916.JPG: source link has a date of 1931, not pre-1923
  • No citations to "On ratuje, ona gaji decu"
    • Removed.
  • I don't speak the language, so can you explain what makes this a high-quality reliable source? Nikkimaria (talk) 00:10, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • It's written by a history professor and used for noncontroversial claims. Specific early life details on these types of individuals are hard to come by. --◅ PRODUCER (TALK) 23:34, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comments supportI will start reviewing this article, here my first comments. MisterBee1966 (talk) 16:27, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • The German Wiki states date of death (see de:Kosta Pećanac claiming 25 May 1944). Could you check into this?
    • There was no reference added to support that when the date was edited in. [2] I looked into it and could find anything to support 25 May 1944.
  • suggest you convert all ten digit ISBNs to 13 digit per WP:ISBN.
    • Done.
  • the image in infobox could use alt text

Comments –

  • World War II: "With the formation of the communist Yugoslav Partisans, Pecanac gave up attempts at becoming a resistance force...". Pecanac himself wasn't going to be a resistance force; his group was. That needs a bit of rewriting.
  • "who were legalized in November 1941. In November 1941...". Try to avoid this repetition from one sentence to the next.
  • "and his continuing collaboration ruined what remained of the reputation he had developed in the Balkans Wars and World War I." "Balkans" → "Balkan"? That's the phrasing the lead uses. Giants2008 (Talk) 17:32, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support – The article appears to meet FA standards now that the fixes have been completed. Giants2008 (Talk) 00:06, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delegate comment -- nearly there but you have dablink for Čelopek and I'm not sure which one is correct. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 16:01, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Solved. --◅ PRODUCER (TALK) 16:51, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
