• ... that Ilona Tóth was one of five Hungarian women to be executed after the Hungarian Revolution of 1956? Source: Adam (2010). The 1956 Hungarian Revolution: Hungarian and Canadian Perspectives. p. 108. "The number of people sentenced to death by courts and executed is 229. Among them were 5 women, that is 2.1 percent. Two of them were sentenced to death for acts committed after November 4. However, others were executed for acts that happened during the uprising." (the source also includes the list of five women with Tóth's name)
  • ALT1: ... that no one knows if Ilona Tóth injected a man with gasoline? Source: James (2005). Imagining Postcommunism: Visual Narratives of Hungary's 1956 Revolution. p. 83. (long passage, can be read here)
  • ALT2: ... that Ilona Tóth inspired a Hungarian law to overturn communist political prosecutions? Source: Adam (2010). The 1956 Hungarian Revolution: Hungarian and Canadian Perspectives. "By 2000 four rehabilitation laws were completed. The last one, CXXX/2000—nicknamed the “Ilona Tóth law” after a medical student who had committed manslaughter in 1956 and was hanged—went further than any of the others. The law nullified sentences given on the tasks and identification of the ideas of the revolution and fight for freedom as acts committed in action."

Infobox

@Thebiguglyalien Thanks for writing this article on an important Hungarian revolutionary. I wanted to ask your thoughts about adding an infobox? I didn't want to make any changes without first consulting with you given the amount of work you have put into this article. I know some editors feel strongly about not adding infoboxes in certain cases. Ppt91^talk 15:42, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

Ppt91 I have no particular opinion about infoboxes one way or the other. Be my guest! Thebiguglyalien (talk) 15:45, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

Comments

An interesting and well-written article, suitably and fully cited.

• The section structure is rudimentary, not unexpected in a short article. I suppose that Biography could be split into 'Early life', 'Hungarian Revolution', and 'Justice process' (or similar), which might be clearer. The 'Legacy' section has two chunks of text, the first without a subheading, the second with one, which is unbalanced. You might consider giving the first part a title such as 'Innocence or guilt'.
  • Splitting up sections to only a few sentences generally isn't allowed in GAs, as compliance with MOS:LAYOUT is required. I've added the subheading under Legacy. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 19:35, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
• "She was a rare example of a woman who was recognized" => "She was one of the few women recognized".
  • Fixed. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 19:35, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
• "Semmelweis Medical School" seems to be Semmelweis University, which "is a research-led medical school in Budapest, Hungary, founded in 1769"; in which case, please wikilink. (I guess that means she studied there, which might make adding her to the list of notable folks over at that article a good idea ...)
  • Linked. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 19:35, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
• The images, useful to the article, are from Commons and appear to be correctly licensed.

• All spot-checks were successful.

• Personally I'd format the References into columns; on Firefox at the moment there's just a single column regardless of the width of the window.

• I nosed about for a template where Tóth might belong, but there isn't one specifically for the Hungarian Revolution which would be the obvious candidate. Maybe there's scope there, but nothing to do with the GA criteria.

Summary

This is a fascinating short article, basically fully ready for GA, once the few comments above have been addressed. Excellent work. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:56, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

Chiswick Chap Should meet all of the GA criteria now, I think. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 19:35, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
