Reviewer: Kimikel (talk · contribs) 23:34, 4 July 2024 (UTC) Hello! I'm going to go after this one as a part of the backlog drive. I imagine I'll have it done by the end of the weekend, if not sooner. Kimikel (talk) 23:34, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Verdict: Overall, this is a quality article; however, it needs a little work before the GA nomination can be approved. I'm going to put this on a 7-day hold to give you time to consider and implement the following suggestions: Kimikel (talk) 03:56, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kimikel, hurricane Beryl is set to hit the Yucatan tomorrow morning, meaning I may or may not have internet service. I will try to answer these tomorrow. Appreciate you picking up the review. SusunW (talk) 04:25, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@SusunW in that case i hope you remain safe; please disregard the initial timeline and get to it whenever if at all possible. Kimikel (talk) 04:30, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like she won't land here until around 5 P.M. so I'll try to answer today. SusunW (talk) 15:33, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Kimikel I think I have answered everything except one point which I had a question on. Pressure is shifting, winds are starting to blow. Sprinkling but no real rain yet. Will be within 5-6 miles of us in a few hours, so no clue what happens then. SusunW (talk) 17:47, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@SusunW: I think I just misread that one sentence you had a question on. With all of the changes made, in my opinion, this is a Good Article. An experienced reviewer will verify my review at some point. Thank you for your quick and quality work, and I hope that you stay safe. Kimikel (talk) 18:45, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Kimikel Thank you very much. It was a pleasure working with you. We're prepared, should be safe, but with weather one never really knows. SusunW (talk) 18:54, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well-written [edit]

  • Copyvio-free from the check I ran. Only matched on org names and titles

Infobox[edit]

  • Headquarters says Paris->East Berlin but article says that HQ moved back to Paris and later Brasilia; when I looked it up, it said it was in San Salvador. I would research where it is currently and update that in the infoxbox and the article.
Agreed. Updated with sourcing. SusunW (talk) 16:15, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lead[edit]

  • Citation from de Haan needs either an inline citation or to be removed.

Other post-1945 international "communist fronts"[edit]

  • Recommend removing this header entirely, not very necessary. If you deem it necessary, recommend changing to "Other post-1945 organizations labelled as communist fronts" to appear more natural

Verifiable [edit]

Source spot check: Overall sufficient, though it does rely on communist state media for dates of conferences and other basic facts

  • "Fortalecen cooperación Federación Democrática Internacional de Mujeres y Unión de Mujeres de Vietnam": supports facts in article. reliable for this purpose
  • "Congrès de la renaissance": reliable, supports facts in article
  • "Liu, Rosa; Jian, Zhao": supports article, not sure if the CCP's official newspaper is a reliable source, but works for this purpose since it's just used to date a conference

Broad [edit]

  • Very comprehensive in its coverage.

Neutral [edit]

  • Article is neutral

Stable [edit]

  • Stable, no edit wars

Illustrated [edit]

  • Images are representative of article's content and well-captioned
  • I believe the logo image at the top of the article is incorrectly licensed. The user who uploaded it claims that it's their own work, which is unlikely. that should be labelled with the correct license
  • I'm just going to remove it because I am unsure of it. If the person who uploaded it drew it, it is hard to know if it violates trademark rules and if they used someone else's work, the license is wrong. Changed it for a stamp that has clearer licensing.
