Marcel Junod

This article is based on a translation of a featured article (in German "Exzellenter Artikel") from the German Wikipedia. I'm the main author of the original German version, and most of the translation was done by User:Tfine80 with some minor edits by me. Thanks for your interest, --Uwe 21:48, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

• One problem - it's not linked from a single other article on wikipedia (at least not from the english one) →Raul654 22:06, July 31, 2005 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the hint. The problem that it's not easy to find an article from which to link to this article. Possible candidates could include Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki or the International Committee of the Red Cross, but both would require a serious rework to fit in a link to the Junod article in a logical manner, without breaking the coherent style of these articles. A complete rework of the article about the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement is in the making (as another cooperation between User:Tfine80 and myself), and the corresponding German article we're translating has Marcel Junod mentioned as part of a rather comprehensive history section. I expect the translation to be ready in the very near future. Best Regards, --Uwe 23:17, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
• Oppose- besides not being linked to, the lead section is too short, there are too many quotes compromising a large quantity of the article (they would be more appropriate for WikiQuotes), and the pictures are copyrighted- I'm not sure if that's allowed. I would refer to peer review and see if it can be fixed and expanded. It definitely has FA potential, though. Great job! Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 18:13, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
  • The pictures have a "Copyrighted but free use" policy which includes the right to use them for any legal purpose without prior permission from the copyright holder, including copying them, modifying them and using them for any commercial purpose. The quotes are intended to illustrate Junods work from a more personal point of view, complementary to the strict neutral and factual style of the article text. In that, they serve the same purpose as the pictures. Regarding the lead section, it would be nice to know what information you miss there. As written above, the issue of not being linked from anywhere will be solved in the very near future. Thanks for your comments, --Uwe 19:00, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
  • The copyright status on the pictures is good enough. "Copyrighted but you can use it for anything but slandering the subject" is a free enough license for me. --Carnildo 22:43, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
