Good work[edit]

This is a very well sourced article that was missing from the Greek War of Independence series. I made a few mainly aesthetic changes and wikilinked a couple of stuff I knew. Good work. Niko Silver 22:19, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is land intervention a newspeak word for invasion or military excursion?

GA Sweeps Review: On Hold[edit]

As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I'm specifically going over all of the "Conflicts, battles and military exercises" articles. I believe the article currently meets the majority of the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. In reviewing the article, I have found there are some issues that may need to be addressed. I have made minor corrections and have included several points below that need to be addressed for the article to remain a GA. Please address them within seven days and the article will maintain its GA status. If progress is being made and issues are addressed, the article will remain listed as a Good article. Otherwise, it may be delisted. If improved after it has been delisted, it may be nominated at WP:GAN. Here are the points that need to be addressed:

Single sentences shouldn't stand alone, so statements like "As the gathering process went along, they sent the plants, as well as birds and fish, to France.[46]" either needs to be expanded on or incorporated into another paragraph.

Add inline citations for:

"Through this work, he became the first to divide ancient art by periods, classifying works chronologically and stylistically."
"Greece became the “motherland of the arts” and “the teacher of taste”."
"Later, Capodistria charged Virlet d’Aoust with studying the possibility of cutting a canal across the Isthmus of Corinth."

Overall, the article was an interesting read and well-sourced. The above issues shouldn't take very long to address and should be easy to fix. Good job on getting so many free images to include in the article. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 01:29, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GAR: Kept[edit]

Since the above issues were not addressed, I went through and put the inline citations into hidden comments. If sources are found, they can be removed from the hidden comments. At this time, I believe the article should keep its GA status since it meets the requirements of the GA criteria. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have update the article history to reflect this review. --Nehrams2020 (talk) 06:47, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Intellectual Context: proposed transfer[edit]

This article contains a section (Intellectual Context) on the German neo-classicist Winckelmann which is irrelevant. Unless there are any objections, I propose to transfer the section to Neo-Classicism. Please record any response below. EraNavigator (talk) 08:14, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a long development and it is necessary to understand why a scientific expedition was sent along with the military one. Cedric B. (talk) 15:33, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to me that the scientific expedition is adequately explained at the start of the relevant section, as following the model of the Egyptian expedition. The Winckelmann section appears as a digression, with no clear link to what goes before or after. The article is complete without it. EraNavigator (talk) 22:32, 7 September 2008 (UTC) PS: It should also be considered whether the scientific expedition should be split off into a separate article, as it was distinct from the military mission, and started when the latter was already achieved.

GA from 2007. Has been tagged for excessive primary source use and with some sources not having page numbers. Also, some things are uncited and this article looks like it could use a major cleanup. Onegreatjoke (talk) 20:22, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
