Cleanup

[edit]

I notice that this article has been tagged for cleanup. I would love to help with that. I was the one who wrote the article, so I would appreciate some guidance here. Can you be specific? What needs to be done to improve the quality? --Ashley Rovira 16:52, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think the format needs improved to come into line with other biographical pages.--Couter-revolutionary 17:42, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Try looking at the layout of a WP:FA like Frederick_Hamilton-Temple-Blackwood,_1st_Marquess_of_Dufferin_and_Ava to see how they are set out and/or wikilinked. Alci12 18:18, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much. I just combined three of the non-Wikipedia standard sections into a more traditional format (for Wikipedia of course). Do you think it's better? I will keep the Cleanup banner on there unless told that it can be removed. Do you think my references and citations are good? --Ashley Rovira 14:16, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

well for starters there is this bit: "On 2 July 2007 Gottfried von Bismarck was found dead in his £5 million flat in Chelsea, aged 44. An inquest into the circumstances of the death was opened on 6 July. He died in his near-empty, $10 million London apartment (which was in the process of being sold) after recklessly injecting himself with cocaine, a coroner concluded Wednesday." It strikes me that £5 million and $10 million are very round numbers and don't reflect a realistic value. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Valfarly (talkcontribs) 19:49, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Classification as start

[edit]

I have classified this article as a start. It covers Bismarck's life reasonably well. Capitalistroadster 09:44, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
