I wills start reviewing the article shortly MisterBee1966 (talk) 07:43, 25 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
  6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
  • the "Service/branch" tag in the infobox points to the German Army (1935–45). I recommend to list the other branches as well
  • linking Major, there is a link to Major (Germany), maybe better suited? I also think to keep all ranks in italics.
  • Add caption to image
  • His early life, especially World War I and between the wars, actions are under represented. I will provide you with more input in the section below
  • As discussed, the criteria broad in its coverage is okay for now but should be expanded for higher quality ratings. Available literature provides more insight into his World War I career and his actions during the inter war years MisterBee1966 (talk) 05:18, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Things you don't know/can't but you may want to consider adding at some point

Received (all on page 157, Richter and Kobe)

  • Allgemeines Kärntnerkreuz für Tapferkeit on 5 December 1919
  • Besonderes Kärntnerkreuz für Tapferkeit on 3 April 1920
  • Verleihung der Ehrenbürgerschaft der Stadt Radkersburg on 26 July 1930
  • Goldenes Verdienstzeichen des Bundesstaates Österreich on 7 October 1934
  • Thanks. I am not entirely familiar with the First Austrian Republic awards system, but given the common cross was a service award for a month's service in the Volkswehr, and as it was awarded to just about everyone who served, I don't think it should be included. The special cross though, is notable given only 1,000 or so were supposedly issued, so I will add it. I propose adding the exact date of the award of the Verleihung der Ehrenbürgerschaft into the text where the award is already mentioned. I understand the Medal of Merit in Gold was a lower award, but am unsure how common or notable it might be. I am not a fan of including every medal awarded to military people, as I know some are incredibly common and not notable. Have you any source that tells us where it might have been in the awards hierarchy? Regards, Peacemaker67 (send... over) 22:17, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
