Konstantin Päts

 * Nominator(s): H2ppyme H2ppyme (talk) 23:50, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

The most prominent Estonian politician of the interwar period. Päts was the nation's leader during its three most crucial moments, the Estonian War of Independence, his own self-coup in 1934 and the Soviet occupation. He is seen by Estonians either as the Father of the Nation, destructor of democracy or even a Soviet collaborator or an agent. H2ppyme (talk) 23:50, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

As a general rule, all paragraphs should have a citation at the end.Graham Beards (talk) 00:39, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Oppose. This would benefit from going through WP:PR and from a copy edit. I see images places on opposite sides of the page, squeezing text. I see collapsible navboxes or similar in the middle of the article. Etc. Lingzhi &diams; (talk) 04:21, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
