Battle of the Bulge[edit]
Review commentary[edit]
There are a number of reasons I'm nominating this article for a featured article review -
- 1(a) - The article has poorly organized quotes from different sources and needs to be extensively copyedited for grammar.
- 1(c) - The article is not properly cited, therefore also failing 2(c).
I will message the major contributors immediately. These seem to be User:Raul654 (280 edits), User:GeneralPatton (174 edits), User:Krellis (70 edits), User:DJ Clayworth (35 edits) and User:Anger22 (33 edits). I will also warn the MilHist Wiki Project. JonCatalán(Talk) 20:36, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- FARC - I came across this article a few months ago and called for it to be delisted in the Milhist talk page. It has multiple problems. It has poor grammar in a number of places, very few citations, and those citations that are used are often misplaced or suspect. Skinny87 (talk) 08:42, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
FARC commentary[edit]
- Suggested FA criteria concerns are prose (1a) and referencing (1c). Marskell (talk) 09:45, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Remove. Agree with above by JonCatalán and Skinny87, these issues have not been addressed. Major referencing issues remain. Cirt (talk) 09:56, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Remove Inline cites are thin. No evidence of active maintenance/work. Some clean up needed on the images (obsolete license tags; image files with same name). DrKiernan (talk) 12:16, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Remove Endorse the above. --ROGER DAVIES talk 03:16, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Remove no sources etc. YellowMonkey (click here to choose Australia's next top model) 07:29, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Remove per my reasons above Skinny87 (talk) 17:21, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Remove, I don't know if I'm allowed to vote, so disregard this if I can't. JonCatalán(Talk) 18:09, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Remove per above. Cam (Chat) 22:31, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
