Hawkeye7, I'm glad to see your work here. I do have some insights based on the above checklist that I think will improve the article:
I think the lead can be improved in order to provide an accessible overview for the Post-war.
Besides that, I think the article looks excellent. All the best, --Seabuckthorn ♥ 17:46, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for your review! I have rewritten the fourth paragraph of the lead to provide a better overview. Hawkeye7 (talk) 20:04, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
