GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria


 * 1) Is it reasonably well written?
 * A. Prose is "clear and concise", without copyvios, or spelling and grammar errors:
 * No copyvios found.-- 3family6 ( Talk to me   &#124;  See what I have done  ) 18:58, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
 * "The occupation ended as the Allied advance into Belgium during the Hundred Days Offensive from August 1918 but, in most areas, was only brought to an end in the aftermath of the armistice of November 1918." - I found this contradictory and confusing - was it ended, or not? Does this mean officially ended?-- 3family6 ( Talk to me   &#124;  See what I have done  ) 04:09, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorted. —Brigade Piron (talk) 08:21, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
 * "The CNSA became a symbol while also serving as a symbol of national unity and of passive resistance.[19]" - became a symbol of what while also a symbol of national unity?-- 3family6 ( Talk to me   &#124;  See what I have done  ) 04:09, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorted. Good catch. —Brigade Piron (talk) 08:21, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
 * "The policy escalated after the failure of deportation in 1917... ." - What was the failure of deportation? This needs to be elaborated.-- 3family6 ( Talk to me   &#124;  See what I have done  ) 04:09, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
 * There is a section on this a bit further down and I'm reluctant to risk repeating content. I've rephrased it a bit though - does that make it any better? —Brigade Piron (talk) 08:21, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
