[edit] GA nomination on hold

I think this is a well written and well-refenced article. And I would be ready to promote this article to Good Article status once a few style-related bits are tidied up:

• You should expand your lead paragraph, have a look at WP:LEAD for guidelines on that. Basically you should summarize your article a bit more.

• The topmost image needs a caption.

• The Notes section only contains one item and it is not referenced explicitly by anything in the text. Perhaps it needs to be moved into the Futher reading section.

• You are over-linking some terms like Nazi and Berlin. Ideally you should just link one instance of occurances of these terms and only link subsequent occurances if they occur much futher in the text. (I will see if I can fix this one up myself actually)

Nice job. I have promoted the article.--Konstable 10:00, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Umm, I must say I am quite surprised by this promotion. This is surely a good attempt at this important topic, but I guess the GA standards should be higher. First of all, this article seems more like "Fates of the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft in the Nazi era", with a rather elaborate introduction. The section dealing with the work of the Institute before 1933 seems quite underdeveloped and stubby - I get the impression they didn't actually do much and the only thing that is important is that they were persecuted by the Nazis.

Moreover, only a few paragraphs and sentences are referenced while the entire article should. Of more minor flaws, I noticed that the Deutsche Studentenschaft is neither explained nor wikilinked - please make sure the article is entirely accessible to people not familiar with this period in German history.

I know this is quite a lot, but I think we must preserve the high standards for GAs. Therefore, I would like to kindly ask you to expand this article, making sure it is up to all of WP:WIAGA guidelines, or I will feel compelled to delist it. Bravada, talk - 11:00, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
