[edit] Eva Perón

A Good Article for some time, and rated "A-class" within WikiProject Argentina. I believe the article to be a decent introduction/backgrounder resource. Should it be featured? -Fsotrain⁰⁹ 19:21, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

• Oppose. There are some WP:MOS violations detailed below, and the prose also needs to be tightened quite a bit.
  • Do not wikilink single years. Only full dates are now wikilinked
  • Per WP:MOSBIO, after the first time the article mentions her name it should then refer to her by her surname (Peron), not her first name or full name.
  • Measurements should be given in both standard and metric units.
  • It isn't necessary to wikilink words like "impoverished" or "stigmatized" The only wikilinked articles now have direct or explanatory relevance.
  • Per WP:QUOTE, quotations of more than one line should make a note of the author in the body of the article.
  • Some paragraphs do not have sources, and some quotations do not have sources.
  • don't need multiple wikilinks to the same thing (such as Buenos Aires) Delinked.
  • I think there are too many long quotations from the source books. These should instead be summarized and paraphrased in the article unless there is a compelling reason not to do so. Also, quotations should not begin a section.
  • I don't think you need so much biographical information on Juan Peron in this article; people who are interested in him can follow the wikilink to his article.
  • The See Also section should not include links that are already in the body of the article. The section is gone for now.
  • Use named refs for your citations so that you can reduce the number of citations. <ref name=mynamehere>citation text or template</ref> and then later <ref name=mynamehere/>
  • Are the items listed in the references section used as notes in the article? If so, they should be in the footnotes; if not, they are External links.
  • I recommend that you split your citations into Footnotes and References. The full citation for a book would be in the References section, and the footnote would have the following: Fraser and Navarro (1980, 1996), p. 143.</ref>
