Battle of Red Cliffs[edit]

This article appears to fail Criteria 1C, that is, its claims do not seem adequately verifiable against reliable sources nor be supported with specific evidence and external citations. The Notes section appears inadequate for all the statements made in the article. —Mattisse (Talk) 20:23, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There appears to be a misunderstanding: I suggest withdrawing the FAR. The article is fully cited in the Harvard inline citation style, an acceptable citation method as permitted by WP:WIAFA, crit 2c. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:26, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article has been withdrawn from FAR perUser:SandyGeorgia. —Mattisse (Talk) 20:42, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't withdrawn it; are you withdrawing it? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:55, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree, as there are long sections that are unreferenced. But you make the calls. —Mattisse (Talk) 20:45, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Every paragraph bar one has at least one reference, if not two. Woody (talk) 20:50, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

But every reference does not cover the entire paragraph. There are statements regarding numbers, for example, that are uncited. I don't think proper citation is a question of every paragraph having at least one reference somewhere in it. —Mattisse (Talk) 20:57, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is the FAR withdrawn or not? If so, I'll archive it, and discussion should continue on article talk. If not, it needs to be correctly listed. Status? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:58, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You said to withdraw it. You are the boss. I did as you said. —Mattisse (Talk) 21:00, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please be clear so the page can be correctly dealt with. I suggested withdrawal based on a misunderstanding of Harvard citation style; withdrawing is your choice. Please specify if the FAR is definitely withdrawn or not, if it is, I'll correctly archive it. You don't have to withdraw a FAR because I suggest it, and I am not "the boss". SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:03, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You are the boss. Whatever you "suggest" goes. —Mattisse (Talk) 01:02, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Matisse, do you or do you not want to leave this up? If you would like to, please actually list it at FAR. Marskell (talk) 13:29, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
