A recently created article but I believe it now covers the topic in sufficient depth to meet FL criteria. I can't see any significant gaps in the content.
Regarding the criteria:
- Prose: Written by two people and copy-edited by others, I believe it to be of a high enough standard.
- Lead: I think that the lead covers the topic well without going into too much detail.
- Comprehensiveness: The list is fixed at 136 entries and this covers them all.
- Structure: The table is sortable on six of the seven columns.
- Style:
- It looks quite nice and the charts give a good representation of the information. Only list items with articles are linked.
- Lots of appropriate images throughout the text, all of which should have decent captions. The images used within the list are the only free ones that I know to be available; an agreement with the ZZF to use their images would be nice but difficult to obtain.
- Stability: No edit wars; the content is not likely to change significantly.

- While not mandatory, alt text would be good for the images.
- Consider the use of the {{lang}} template for your German phrases which you translate to English.
- Why are the various victim references on the line below the victim names?
- You should use row and col scopes for WP:ACCESS, see MOS:DTT.

- The captions are descriptive but some ALTs could be added.
- I'll have a look around to find them
- The table could be very wide and adding a further column for a reference would not work well. Having them on the same line of the name has a similar ugly effect. Placing the reference in any other column would make it look like only that item of data is being referenced.
- I don't think a single column for them at the end would be a problem. Nor placing them next the names. Right now, I think this is the only article I've seen in all of Wikipedia to use this approach! The Rambling Man (talk) 15:58, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Having tried both options it really does make the table horribly wide and, consequently, horribly word-wrapped on lower resolutions. violet/riga [talk] 16:18, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- I've added col scopes - row scopes could be added but I'm considering that at the moment

#Is it possible (i.e. are there any statistics) to compare the number of Berlin Wall deaths to those on the inner German border?

Thanks. Just a few more questions/comments...

Quick comments –
Legal cases: "Numerous guards were the same ones who had been awarded a Medal for Exemplary Border Service or an other award for the killing." "an other" → "another"?Deaths: In the table, it would be nice if the blank cells had a dash of some type in them, for a more attractive appearance.Rudolf Urban: Don't think Pnuemonia needs to be capitalized in this entry's note.Giants2008 (27 and counting) 19:44, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- The two typos have easily been sorted and the blanks in the table have been filled in except for the images column, where I feel that it wouldn't look particularly good. violet/riga [talk] 23:13, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
