As per [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Warsaw_Uprising&diff=247773271&oldid=247759597 my edits], there is a huge amount of work to be done to meet the FA criteria. A small list of what should be done follows:
# Add references where needed (about 40 sentences for now, and I haven't fully read two sections...).
# Look through [[Warsaw Uprising#W-hour|#W-hour]] and [[Warsaw Uprising#Capitulation|#Capitulation]] and correct all the untrue sentences, expand these section a bit.
# expand [[Warsaw Uprising#Eve of the battle|#Eve of the battle]] (and [[Lead up to the Warsaw Uprising]] as well) to cover more political and military reasons and actions took by the AK just few days before the Uprising, [[Warsaw Uprising#Capitulation|#Capitulation]] to include information about the AK leaving Warsaw, about Gen. Okulicki taking the position of Commander of the Home Army and the reasons of Bór-Komorowski going to slavery, shorten [[Warsaw Uprising#Soviet stance|#Soviet stance]] (remove doubled information, write more about Berling's landings in Warsaw).
# do the whole to-do list (e.g. include [[Cultural representations of the Warsaw Uprising]] into the main article, polish the style, copy-edit, remove red links, proofread and so on)

I feel the article doesn't meet the FA criteria for now. There were and still are bits of untrue statements -- e.g. the sentence stating it was Bór-Komorowski who signed the capitulation order in the presence of von dem Bach-Zelewski. In fact, it was not him--the act of capitulation was signed by Kazimierz Iranek-Osmecki, Zygmunt Dobrowolski and Erich von dem Bach-Zelewski. The article contains many such examples and they all need to be re-written or removed. --[[User:Teodor Jan Ranicki|Teodor Jan Ranicki]] ([[User talk:Teodor Jan Ranicki|talk]]) 16:09, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Featured? The article needs a lot of work to be done.

As per my edits, there is a huge amount of work to be done to meet the FA criteria. A small list of what should be done follows:

  1. Add references where needed (about 40 sentences for now, and I haven't fully read two sections...).
  2. Look through #W-hour and #Capitulation and correct all the untrue sentences, expand these section a bit.
  3. expand #Eve of the battle (and Lead up to the Warsaw Uprising as well) to cover more political and military reasons and actions took by the AK just few days before the Uprising, #Capitulation to include information about the AK leaving Warsaw, about Gen. Okulicki taking the position of Commander of the Home Army and the reasons of Bór-Komorowski going to slavery, shorten #Soviet stance (remove doubled information, write more about Berling's landings in Warsaw).
  4. do the whole to-do list (e.g. include Cultural representations of the Warsaw Uprising into the main article, polish the style, copy-edit, remove red links, proofread and so on)

I feel the article doesn't meet the FA criteria for now. There were and still are bits of untrue statements -- e.g. the sentence stating it was Bór-Komorowski who signed the capitulation order in the presence of von dem Bach-Zelewski. In fact, it was not him--the act of capitulation was signed by Kazimierz Iranek-Osmecki, Zygmunt Dobrowolski and Erich von dem Bach-Zelewski. The article contains many such examples and they all need to be re-written or removed. --Teodor Jan Ranicki (talk) 16:09, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
