Gendarmerie of Haiti

 * Nominator(s): LavaBaron (talk) 23:23, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

This article is about a collaborationist paramilitary police that existed in Haiti during the U.S. occupation in the early 20th century. It has recently been copyedited by the GoCE, has been promoted to GA status, is a former DYK article, is illustrated with three images, and has been rated as "high importance" by the Haiti WikiProject.

Image review
 * Captions that aren't complete sentences shouldn't end in periods
 * File:Haitian_Gendarme.jpg: this was taken in 1920, but the current tag requires that it be published before 1923 - when/where was this first published? Nikkimaria (talk) 01:39, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
 * These are now fixed, Nikkimaria. LavaBaron (talk) 09:34, 12 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Comment: it seems a bit thin on detail, and I can't tell if it is comprehensive. The "History of the Gendarmerie D'haiti" reference was written by "Anonymous". Likewise, there is no author listed for "Military In Haitian History". Are these reliable sources? Can you clarify what is meant by "legation"? Is there any reason why this reference is not used?

Comments
 * This just went up on the FAC Urgents list. I'll be happy to do a prose review after an effort has been made to address Praemonitus's comments. - Dank (push to talk) 16:28, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

Coordinator note: This nomination seems to have stalled and there is no consensus for promotion after several weeks. Therefore, I will be archiving the nomination. -- Laser brain  (talk)  11:57, 26 April 2016 (UTC) -- Laser brain  (talk)  11:57, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
