Rhodesian mission in Lisbon (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I am nominating this article for A-Class review because it was just delisted from Featured Status here. The article relies too much on primary sources such as minutes from the British House of Lords and Ian Smith's memoirs, as well as a self-published book by JRT Wood. Newer scholarship, such as Josiah Brownell's Struggles for Self-Determination: The Denial of Reactionary Statehood in Africa exists, but has not been fully integrated into the article. Concerns about POV language, SYNTH, and editorialising prose were also raised in the FAR. Lastly, it's worth noting that when this article originally passed A-class in 2012 it was under the title of Lisbon Appointment. The newer title expanded the scope of the article, but the diplomatic mission's history is hardly covered beyond its creation. In short, it's compliance with A1 and A2 of the A-Class criteria is doubtful. -Indy beetle (talk) 08:54, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Helmut Wick (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I am nominating this article for A-Class re-assessment because it recently underwent a GAR after which is was delisted, mainly for using an unreliable source. The GAR is at Talk:Helmut Wick#Individual reassessment. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 00:19, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
