I am nominating this for featured list because I feel it meets the criteria. The first review went stale without flagging any major concerns. I hope that this time around the list draws enough attention. Thanks in advance for any constructive feedback MisterBee1966 (talk) 13:04, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
CommentsSupport A couple from me.
- in the lead, suggest "has now been succeeded by" instead of "is now succeeded by". I don't think we quite got the tense right in the ACL's I reviewed recently.
- done MisterBee1966 (talk) 22:04, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Posthumous recognition is duplicated as a link in the body ("Recipients" section).
- done, removed link in the body MisterBee1966 (talk) 22:04, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- I have recently reviewed two (other) RK lists for A class, and this incorporates all of the suggestions made in those reviews.

- I am not sure about the need to mix Hauptmann (or any other rank for that matter) with "of the Reserves" in English. Given there is no appreciable difference between a given rank and a given rank of the Reserves (in terms of equivalence), you could render the first mention followed by (Captain) or (Captain of the Reserves) then carry on with the German version fully italicised throughout. Not a war winner, but I assume you are at the beginning of this series at FLC level, and it would probably be best to crack the rationale on this one early, especially as there have been queries about italicisation and anglicisation of German ranks at ACL in this series.
- The list is sortable. The order is arbitrary after the first sort. Because of this, overlinking is allowed on sortable lists. Wouldn't this apply to your suggestion about translations as well? MisterBee1966 (talk) 22:04, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Good point. I still think you could render all ranks in German only, so long as they are linked, no problem. But a minor matter, not an obstacle to FL.
- At your usual high standard, well done.
- Thanks MisterBee1966 (talk) 22:04, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment have been over variants of these lists many times, always of a high quality, just avoid the "SCHERZERS MILITAER-VERLAG. " shouting. The Rambling Man (talk) 22:04, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Perhaps add a visual representation (similar to the KIA and disputed entries) to indicate recipients with higher grade crosses in addition to mentioning it in the notes? Winning the highest military award multiple times is a major achievement so I think it would be good if the reader could easily identify the people on the list who have done so. Obviously this is only a suggestion and not a problem with the article. Chamal T•C 08:16, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I could add something like (see below), would this work? MisterBee1966 (talk) 08:26, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
This along with the + (plus) indicates that a higher grade of Knight's Cross was awarded as well.
