General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - The source Germany 1945-1949: A Sourcebook says he was "minister president" on p. 64 but does not mention his name on p. 91 as stated in the source. I cannot read the other two. Other sources call him president. Is there a source for "prime minister"?
  • Interesting: Yes
QPQ: Done.

Overall: This is very close! I'd like to see the source that says he was a prime minister per se. Also, there are a couple sentences that don't make sense, e.g. In this extensive experience, the occupying powers intervened after the war back immediately so that soil from the outset has been instrumental in the reconstruction of the country. Might want to fix that. delldot ∇. 00:37, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

  • Thanks for your detailed review, delldot. I thought minister president is also called prime minister as said in our article on Minister president. That is why I used the term prime minister instead of minister president. However, I've changed it into "minister president" in the article and in the hook now. Furthermore, I clarified the sentence you noted. Please re-review. Thanks! Jim Carter 08:07, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
    • Ah ok, I hadn't heard of that but I see now they're synonyms. Still I do like that you changed it to reflect the wording of the source. Everything looks good now!
