Reviewer: Tomandjerry211 (alt) (talk · contribs) 21:50, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This article needs some reshaping, some issues are listed below:

Written like an essay. Not done
Too many cleanup tags. Not done
Paragraphs are too short. Not done
Lead is too short. Not done
Some facts lack citations. Not done
Numbers less then nine are represented with words. Done
"Possible explanations" section sounds unusual and is unecessary Done

I'd normally quickfail this, but I'm giving you seven days to fix these issues, as part of "assuming good faith"--Tomandjerry211 (alt) (talk) 22:01, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking time to review this article. I have done some changes as per the recommendations. However, the article cannot be further expanded because the book "Bruno Manser:The Inside Story" is not available. I would accept a quickfail for this because the paragraphs are too short. However, would you point out the exact sentences that requires further citations? Thanks. I will nominate the article for peer review first before I nominate it again for GA review in the future.Cerevisae (talk) 23:35, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
