Starting the review, will update it as I go through. Article looks pretty good, if a bit on the short side given that the external links add a lot more material that could be used (in German, unfortunately).
Criteria
editGood Article Status - Review Criteria
A good article is—
- Well-written:
- (a) the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct; and
- (b) it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.[1]
- Verifiable with no original research:
- (a) it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline;
- (b) reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose);[2]
- (c) it contains no original research; and
- (d) it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.
- Broad in its coverage:
- (a) it addresses the main aspects of the topic;[3] and
- (b) it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
- Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
- Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute. [4]
- Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio: [5]
- (a) media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content; and
- (b) media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.[6]
Notes
- ^ Compliance with other aspects of the Manual of Style, or the Manual of Style mainpage or subpages of the guides listed, is not required for good articles.
- ^ Footnotes must be used for in-line citations.
- ^ This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required of featured articles; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail, and overviews of large topics.
- ^ Vandalism reversions, proposals to split or merge content, good faith improvements to the page (such as copy editing), and changes based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. Nominations for articles that are unstable because of unconstructive editing should be placed on hold.
- ^ Other media, such as video and sound clips, are also covered by this criterion.
- ^ The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement. However, if images (or other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then some such images should be provided.

(a) (prose) | He supported Pan-Germanism under Austrian leadership, due to the formation of a German state without them would have isolated Liechtenstein and threatened its independence. Does that mean "without Austria" or "without Liechtenstein"? managed to maintain order in Liechtenstein, or later what his position of District Administratorentailed (assuming it is an executive position, it could also be added to the infobox). (Later comment: Much better, but could still be a bit more detailed, especially as these were important roles that are somewhat glossed over.) (Later later comment: Should be good now!) |
Pass |
(b) (MoS) | The lead is well-written and follows the MoS (Later comment: Please look at words to watch such as "leading" or "important" and try to rephrase them in more precise terms, and it should be good.) (Later later comment: "Leading" is only used to say he, well, led the movement, so it's fine, no other "words to watch" left.) |
Pass |
Criteria | Notes | Result |
---|---|---|
(a) (references) | (Later comment: The source mentions a more vague Linken Zentrum rather than the Württemberger Hof, could be better to have a precise source?) (Later later comment: Fixed) |
Pass |
(b) (citations to reliable sources) | Most information comes from a single encyclopedia, which isn't ideal but not a fail condition either. Every non-lead paragraph ends with a citation, with the exception of the sentence about the plaque (which, being next to its picture, isn't really likely to be challenged). | Pass |
(c) (original research) | No original research, again, everything appears to be sourced. | Pass |
(d) (copyvio and plagiarism) | Earwig shows nothing, with the only matches being the German titles of the works mentioned. However, looking at a translation of the main source used, many paragraphs appear to be close paraphrasing (the #Early life and #Medical career sections, and also much of #Political career). (Later comment: Still too many close paraphrasing issues, paragraphs should be rewritten rather than having word replaced by synonyms.) (Later later comment: Close paraphrasing nearly gone except for the third paragraph of "Political career") (Later later comment: Appears to be good.) |

Doesn't take sides in 19th-century Liechtenstein politics, all political claims are well-attributed. | Pass |

Pass | Please fix all the close paraphrasing issues ASAP and rewrite the sections you translated from the encyclopedia in your own words. I would ask for the opinion of a German speaker to see if the sources mentioned in #External links can add further information to the article. (Later later comment: Much better, a tiny bit of close paraphrasing left to rephrase and it should pass. Coverage isn't perfect everywhere, but still broad enough for GA.) (Final comment: Looks good, asking for a quick second opinion to be sure as it is my first review, but I think it should pass) |
Discussion
edit- Updated the review in light of recent improvements. The close paraphrasing remains the biggest issue to be fixed. Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 00:24, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
- Should be fixed now, @Chaotic Enby. TheBritinator (talk) 11:51, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
