Gun politics in the Czech Republic
edit
- ... that firearms laws in the Czech Republic allow people to carry concealed firearms for self defense?
ALT1:... that gun politics in the Czech Republic are among the most permissive in Europe?
Got to GA level by Cimmerian praetor (talk). Self nominated at 21:23, 16 August 2014 (UTC).
I prefer ALT1, but that statement is only found in the intro as far as I can tell, but it is not sourced there.--Carabinieri (talk) 09:52, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
- That is something hard to source from meaningful sources. Just a cursory look through the Gun politics in the European Union will prove it. Then the original is more suitable, I guess. The concealed carry is stated expressively in the section Carrying a firearm, the self defense is covered extensively in section Self defense with firearms. It is well sourced. I carry daily, should there be any questions, I'll be more than happy to address them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cimmerian praetor (talk • contribs) 06:07, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
- Full review needed as above reviewer didn't check other necessary items - NickGibson3900 Talk 04:54, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
- I'd only like to point out that the article recently passed GA level review. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cimmerian praetor (talk • contribs) 06:07, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
- Cimmerian praetor, that's true of all GA-listed articles, but we give them the same checks as all other nominated articles just the same. GA articles generally have a single reviewer, and that person can miss things as easily as anyone else. We've had a number of GA articles that have needed some extra work because of issues that were discovered in the DYK review. Indeed, there was a recent article that went through a GA reassessment because of the number of DYK issues found that were issues for GAs as well, and it was ultimately delisted; the reviewer had been new to GAs, and missed a number of problems involving the standard GA criteria.

- Thanks for letting me know. I surely have no problem with taking the article further, should the need arise. Thank you for your involvement. Regards, Cimmerian praetor (talk) 05:32, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
This recently promoted GA qualifies for DYK on the grounds of newness and length. Going for the original hook which is referenced to the Firearms Act which is not online so is accepted in good faith. The article seems neutral but it is difficult to establish whether there are any close paraphrasing issues because the sources are offline or in Czech, so good faith assumed in this respect too.

- Just a fact - firearms act is online and there is link to it in the article (the box at the beginning of the law section). It may be read with a little help of google translate, with all relevat references citing the relevant sections of the act directly. Thank you for the review.
