 * Demoted - as this only has one demote !vote, I feel that I should explain why I am demoting this. As the article stands now, it is obviously not up to our A-class standards; there are reference issues, a couple of tags (including neutrality), and many MOS issues. — Ed 17  (Talk /  Contribs)  00:50, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Russian-Circassian War

 * Previous nomination

Reappraisal review: I am nominating this article for reappraisal because this is an older promotion, which was recently reviewed at featured article review and delisted. There is now a proposal to merge the article with Caucasian War. I think it merits a re-assessment by the project. DrKiernan (talk) 17:12, 13 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Reviewers: Please say whether Milhist should Keep or Demote this article. Reviewers should satisfy themselves that the article fails on at least one A-class criterion before recommending Demote and should explain their reasons when commenting.


 * Comment - is it just me, or is the 2007 version of this article (when it passed FAC) better than this current article? — Ed 17  (Talk /  Contribs)  18:02, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Comments Two disambig links need to be located and if at all possible fixed. Three external links are reported as having either connection issues or as being dead links, and need to be fixed or removed from the article. TomStar81 (Talk) 04:54, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Comments it doesn't meet A-1 with many references needed tags. It doesn't meet A-2 by not presenting the Russian and Circassian POV evenhanded. (For example Circassian losses of sheep and men, but not a single dead Russian until the Circassians put up a heroic fight and then it doesn't get mentioned whether they themselves took heavy losses besides the Russians). All the other criteria are met. Wandalstouring (talk) 18:07, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Demote Issues concerning A-1 and A-2 haven't been fixed. Wandalstouring (talk) 12:44, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
