List of Knight&

 * Nominator(s): MisterBee1966 (talk)

I am nominating this article for A-Class review because I feel that I have all major elements addressed. Thanks MisterBee1966 (talk) 05:29, 21 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Support: nothing much sticks out to me. Good work as usual. I have a couple of minor observations:
 * no dab links, ext links all work (no action required);
 * "and its variants were the highest award" - should this be: "and its variants were the highest awards" (varients meaning that there are multiple, thus requiring a plural "awards")?
 * yes, done MisterBee1966 (talk) 07:10, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
 * sometimes words like "Heer" etc. are in italics, but sometimes they are not - should this be consistent?
 * done MisterBee1966 (talk) 16:54, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I think that the title of the book (in English) should also be italicised in the second paragraph of the lead;
 * done MisterBee1966 (talk) 07:08, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
 * for Wilhelm Adam "adjutant of Armeeoberkommando 6" - adjutant should probably be capitalised for consistency (the other entries begin with caps);
 * done MisterBee1966 (talk) 19:25, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * some of the language in the Notes is a bit awkward; I'm not sure what the FL standard is, but before taking it there you might consider trying to smooth them out a little bit;
 * for FL, I think it might be an idea to include some references to the two works listed in the Further reading section. AustralianRupert (talk) 09:02, 24 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Support - looks good to me:
 * The Earwig tool reveals no issues with copyright violation or close paraphrasing (see here ) (no action required).
 * The citation check tool reveals no errors (no action required). Anotherclown (talk) 23:35, 3 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Support Comments - looking pretty good, just some minor comments:
 * In my current browser (Chrome, 15" monitor) the table goes far enough to the left that I need to scroll to see part of the notes column and all of the image column. Not sure if there is a way to change this. Not a huge deal, just a little annoying.
 * I agree, but how do I fix this? MisterBee1966 (talk) 10:26, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not really sure. This might perhaps be something to ask the coding gurus at FLC. Dana boomer (talk) 14:45, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Note #22, "and decided: Knight's Cross yes, 9 May 1945." Perhaps reword this to "and decided to award the Knight's Cross, retroactively effective 9 May 1945." or something similar.
 * I put it in quotes! It is a direct citation from the book. MisterBee1966 (talk) 10:20, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Don't see any quotes? Dana boomer (talk) 14:45, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Stupid me! The issue was in two notes and I had fixed only one MisterBee1966 (talk) 19:56, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * It is disappointing that there aren't images of more of the men, but I suppose there's not much you can do about it.
 * The German Archives keep releasing more images. But these are all those released to the public domain that I know of. I am open for ideas. MisterBee1966 (talk) 10:24, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Not really any ideas, other than to keep adding them in as the GA releases them.
 * Lead, "and its last hand out on 17 June 1945." "hand out" seems rather informal - any way to reword this?
 * Sure, what do you suggest? "and its last bestowal on 17 June 1945." Would this work? MisterBee1966 (talk) 10:26, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * That works for me, and I've made the change. Dana boomer (talk) 14:45, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Recipients, "Oberkommando der Wehrmacht" Perhaps give a translation of this? From my (admittedly limited) German, I would think this was something like High Commander of the Armed Forces, but a solid translation in the article would be appreciated.
 * done MisterBee1966 (talk) 10:24, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Is there a possibility of adding to the Recipients text section a sentence summarizing how many of these men were later awarded higher grades of this award? I see that this is listed in the notes column, but it would be nice to have a sentence like "later, 8 of these men (or however many it is) were awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves".
 * Yes, done please verify. Thanks for the review MisterBee1966 (talk) 10:33, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Good. Dana boomer (talk) 14:45, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Overall good. As soon as the above comments are sorted I think I'll be happy to support. Nice work, Dana boomer (talk) 15:26, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * A couple of minor issues left, but they are small enough to not affect my support vote. Dana boomer (talk) 14:45, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Support on prose per standard disclaimer. These are my edits. - Dank (push to talk) 03:54, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
