  • The criteria section is virtually word for word from cite #2. Not sure if it's truly a copyright vio, but it needs to be rewritten in the editor's own words or properly quoted. And if the latter, I don't think that it should qualify for a DYK.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:02, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
  • Per Commons, Czech Government publications are PD. The website notes that the source is a military publication, which IMO would make it PD as well. However, the text outside that section does not equal 1500 chars. Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:29, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
  • So I guess this makes this one a dead nomination? EricSerge (talk) 02:41, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
  • If you are willing to expand a bit more or paraphrase the PD source, it could be reviewed in full. Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:57, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
  • Paraphrased, will this fly? EricSerge (talk) 14:54, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
  • Hook: Short enough, interesting enough, cited. Prefer ALT1.
Article: New enough, long enough, has uncited paragraphs that are acceptable as they are visible in the images, AGF on foreign language references. Ref #2 is PD so it is fine.
Summary: ALT1 good to go! Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:10, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
