Giving this article a look. —Ed!(talk) 01:47, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
- It is reasonably well written:
- Pass External links, dup links and dab links look good. Copyvio detector returns green.
- It is factually accurate and verifiable:
- Pass Offline references accepted in good faith. Cursory check of Google Books shows references that back up source material here.
- It is broad in its coverage:
- Not Yet
- "and resulted from stereotypes demonizing Jews as the enemy of Christianity and the economic opponent of Slovaks" -- Would it be useful here to explain they were a minority and the religous and ethnic makeup of the county at the time? In a footnote, I'd think.
- Added footnote
- Of the population of Jewish people in the country, any word on where they were concentrated? Would be helpful context.
- Added some information on that.
- "Tiso-led autonomous government began to fire Jewish civil servants and restrict the Jews' rights." -- Any specifics about the rights?
- No. I assume Ward was referring to the government actions surrounding the 1938 deportations, but that would be OR. Instead, I've mentioned the establishment of the Propaganda Office.
- "the first such law was passed on 18 April 1939." -- Same question here.
- This was the numerus clausus law mentioned at the beginning of the Aryanization section. I've edited so it's not mentioned in the overview.
- " the authors of some of the more egregious articles and caricatures were prosecuted" -- Would also be good to indicate here some examples.
- Loncikova states that "many journalists, employees and chief representatives of the PO fac[ed] justice". Unfortunately, she does not mention any individuals who were tried for their actions. Propaganda chief Alexander Mach was given a lengthy prison sentence but on other charges. She does give the names of several Slovaks who were tried for broadcasting from Austria in 1938, but I don't think any of them are notable.
- Timeframe needed here: "In total, 1.1 billion Ks was stolen from Jews ..."
- Done
- "Jews serving in the army were segregated to a special unit" -- Any estimated number of military or what the unit was they were sent to?
- It was a labor unit. I do not have the number of Jews affected, but I did find a source for the size of the Sixth Labor Battalion and added that information.
- "Opposition" -- Slovakia during World War II mentions some armed resistance to the overall occupation, any of relevance that should be included here?
- There was no armed resistance in 1942, nor was Slovakia occupied. In 1944, the Slovak National Uprising broke out, which is discussed later in the article.
- " the Working Group tried to bribe Himmler with $3 million" -- I assume I know who you're talking about; full name needed on first reference.
- Done
- Not Yet
- It follows the neutral point of view policy:
- Pass Contentious subject to be certain, though the use of a variety of sources, I'm seeing quite a few as recent scholarship, meets this criterion as well as I believe it can be met.
- It is stable:
- Pass No problems there.
- It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate:
- Pass Spotting CC, PD and FU tags on all images used in the article as appropriate.
- Other:
- On Hold Overall a very even-handed work on a very contentious and difficult subject. Holding for some clarifications. —Ed!(talk) 02:36, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
Awesome, thank you for your work on this--another tough subject to be sure. Seeing no other major concerns, going to Pass the GA now. —Ed!(talk) 01:31, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
