SS Kurtuluş[edit]

The Great Famine in Greece forms part of a less-known episode in Second World War history. And the symbol- and value-laden mission undertaken by the Turkish steamer SS Kurtuluş emphasizes this episode well. There is a documentary film, sponsored from both countries, that will be released this month in Turkey (and I presume, also in Greece) relating the ship's story and mission.

  • Object Too short to be a featured article & focuses on a tiny part of an interesting episode. And, it doesn't seems to really be about the SS Kurtulus, it is more about the Greek Famine. Why not make this into a more comprehensive article about the famine?--Paul 17:54, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Object. Superficial and incomprehensive. Footnotes need to be formatted. Images need rationales. Orane (talkcont.) 00:50, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Since it touches three different themes (the ship, the famine and the film) at the same time, the article (I believe) is advantaged by its conciseness (concise is the term I would use, not superficial, as the context was grave). As for a larger article on the Great Famine, (once again, I believe) if we put this article in value, it should trigger one.Cretanforever
