Propaganda[edit]

Review commentary[edit]

Promoted as "brilliant prose", no WikiProjects appear to claim this article; no talk messages left. Sandy (Talk) 18:13, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The article does not have proper inline citations and despite having posted this issue in the talk page, not many citations have been provided. Yet, the article is tagged for a long time as needing citations and references, in each section. Others in the talk page seem to be agreeing to a review of this article.

  • Comment This is possibly the most detriorated FA I've seen yet: I don't think it meets a single point of WP:WIAFA. Sandy (Talk) 01:21, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Take to FARC where I don't think anyone will argue for it. Just one once-over shows many things wrong with it:overly long intro, mix of different referencing systems, serious spam event horizon problems, far too many images than I would think necessary (is a whole gallery of Nazi propaganda necessary?).

  • Comment Needs a general cleanup. Insufficient cites. LuciferMorgan 16:02, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. The lead needs cleanup (3-4 paras, per WP:LEAD). There is excessive bolding, way too many external links and worst of all, insufficient citations.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  17:11, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

FARC commentary[edit]

Suggested FA criteria concerns are lack of citations (1c) and general quality of the article. Marskell 06:54, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Remove. Still, the most deteriorated FA I've seen yet, not meeting any point of WP:WIAFA. Sandy (Talk) 15:11, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Remove I doubt this would even pass Good Article right now. Jay32183 07:23, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Remove Still not improved as a lot of them don't have inline citations. The external links are tagged as spam but no attempts were made to clean them. Except the images which are abundant, the more important aspects are missing. Idleguy 08:50, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Remove - it's simply not good enough to be a FA.--Aldux 17:44, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Remove per above. LuciferMorgan 00:19, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
