Reviewer: _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 17:27, 17 June 2011 (UTC) GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose quality:

   B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists: 1) minor issue: ilinks should be added to the first mention; for example in lead the countries (Germany) are linked on their second mention 2) some links can be added, for example Poland and several other countries are not linked in their first mention, that holds true for several other countries there, later, Switzerland... Czechoslovakia is not linked upon the first mention. No link for the first mention of Mediterranean, terms like socialists, communist or liberal...moratorium... Balearic islands... Barletta (ships are notable)... Mussolini... French and British fleets... Malta... 3) "Blum believed..." but he was not mentioned before, and is not linked (other than the caption in lead). Same for "Baldwin's" - I see no mention of him before? 4) "German soldiers in Spain" should probably link to German intervention article 5) Robert Gascoyne-Cecil needs to be disambiguated 6) Non-intervention in the Spanish Civil War links to 1 redirect which points back, please fix it (find it through disambig tools). 6) I see what you meant by the note on Armindo Monteiro, but I think this is not common, and may be against MoS. How about you just stub it and remove the note?

2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. References to sources: I like to see pages directly linked to google books, but this is just my preference, nothing enforceable.

   B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

   C. No original research:

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. Major aspects:

   B. Focused:

4. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

5. Is it stable?

   No edit wars, etc:

6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

   B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions: I'd like to see more images, but I understand the topic may be difficult to illustrate.

7. Overall: Good job, only minor issues remain.
8. Disclaimer: I am not a historian, but a sociologist with some interest in the history of Europe; I've contributed to a few SCW wiki articles. I am also a non-native speaker of English, so while the prose sounds right to me, I cannot claim it is brilliant and always sounds right. I have not verified that all material corresponds to the references cited, some are behind pay-walls I have no access to, and I simply don't have several hours to dedicate to checking all the references. Nothing in the article raised a red flag by looking dubious or unreliable, based on my current state of knowledge, to justify more detailed verification. Hence I am assuming good faith and proper referencing standards on the part of the author(s).
9. Other comments: Please notify me on my talk page when responses are posted here if you want a prompt reply; I'll return the same courtesy (my watchlist can get swamped). Otherwise it may take me several days to get back to see if there are any replies.

   Pass or Fail:

OK, have attempted to follow your suggestions. With the linking sometimes they're hard to spot, so if you do notice anything more shout (I'm sure you would anyway). Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 19:07, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Almost ready, could you disambig Barletta? May need a proper disambig created per it:Barletta (disambigua), I am not seeing a ship there... --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 22:55, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Sorted. The link on this page is to a section in another article the ship, until such time as a separate page is warrented. I've also created the disambiguation, although unlike at the Italian Wikipedia, I didn't consider the three named region worthy of inclusion. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 11:30, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Good job, I am passing the article. Please consider reviewing another article nominee (at WP:GAN), as we have a substantial backlog to go through. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 03:10, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
