John Zamet[edit]

  • New, long, neutrally voiced. Hook is verified and interesting. QPQ done. Thaaaat said, the article still has some issues. First of all, the sections are annoyingly small -- all of the second-level titles, such as "University of Philadelphia", can be removed and nothing would be lost for the reader; the Early life and subsequent can be merged into a Biography section. Also, what do the brackets add in "Describing his regret of lost records or lack of archival material due to (Vergangenheitsbewältigung)"? It looks misplaced and I can't tell what word is missing. The "cottage industry" quote is not followed by a citation -- this would be okay in my book, as long as the phrase right after would have the citation; but it has three -- which one of them is the quote from?
