Inconsistancy?

The article states:

  • "Over 40% of French grape vines and vineyards were devastated over a 15 year period, from the late 1850s to the mid 1870s."
  • "Production of wine in France fell from 84.5 million hectolitres in 1875 to only 23.4 million hectolitres."

I assume that the last statement should be "Production of wine in France fell from 84.5 million hectolitres to only 23.4 million hectolitres in 1875." to make more sense, but I'm not sure, also the 40% and 84.5 to 23.4 sounds a bit wrong, but might be correct with a from and to year, also a ref would be nice. --Stefan talk 14:09, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GAN review: On hold

I have reviewed this article according to the requirements of the GA criteria and have placed the article on hold at this time until the following issues are addressed:

  1. ""Reconstitution" (as it was termed) of the many vineyards that had been lost was a slow process, but eventually the wine industry in France was able to return to relative normality." Single sentences shouldn't stand alone, either expand on this or incorporate it into another paragraph. Fix all other occurrences within the article.
    Well, I fixed that instance.  Done (that one, at least)
  2. "The only description of the disease that was given by these wine growers was that it 'reminded them distressingly of "consumption"'." Add an inline citation for where this quote is from.
     Done -- Anonymous DissidentTalk 06:42, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  3. The "Damage" section needs sources for the stats.
    All from one source, sourced.  Done -- Anonymous DissidentTalk 06:44, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  4. The present day section needs to be expanded further, and possibly consider putting the short sentences together in one paragraph.
    Well, I have "de-expanded", which, ironically, still has the desired fact - removing the openendedness of the section. I can't add more, I have no sources, particularly as to the vaguely termed "lasting effects". This really may be waffle on the part of my source, because its not expanded on at all. -- Anonymous DissidentTalk 06:49, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  5. See if there are any external links that can be added to the article for readers to pursue more information on the subject.

The article looks fine besides these above problems, and they shouldn't take too long to fix. I will leave the article on hold for seven days, and if the issues are not addressed the article will be failed. If you have any questions let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Also, I'm going on a wikibreak until Sunday, so there may be a delay before I look over the corrections/pass the article. --Nehrams2020 (talk) 00:32, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
