[edit] Operation Anthropoid

reason for nominating the article: very important and interesting event —Preceding unsigned comment added by Prague Fuser (talk • contribs)

  • Object for the following reasons:
    • "Trivia" and "The operation in popular culture" sections should be made into prose and merged elsewhere.
    • Short, choppy paragraphs and one-paragraph sections proliferate. These should be fixed.
    • The referencing is inadequate. External hyperlinks should be changed over to footnotes using the cite web template, etc., etc. Citations to printed material would also be nice.
    • The copyright status of Image:Assassins hiding place.jpg should be resolved, and if it survives speedy deletion, the file should be renamed. Assassins have hidden in lots of places. . .
    • The prose needs a thorough copy edit and style shakedown. Anville 14:50, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Object not quite ready yet:
  • Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at WP:LEAD. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article.
  • Per WP:MOS#Headings, headings generally do not start with the word "The". For example, ==The Biography== would be changed to ==Biography==.
  • This article is a bit list-weighty; in other words, some of the lists should be converted to prose (paragraph form). For example, see "The operation in popular culture".
  • Generally, trivia sections are looked down upon; please either remove the trivia section or incorporate any important facts into the rest of the article.
  • The article will need references. See WP:CITE and WP:V for more information.
  • Please provide WP:CITE information for references/footnotes. See also WP:CITE/ES; templates like {{Cite web}} and {{Cite book}} may be useful here.
  • This article needs footnotes, preferably in the cite.php format recommended by WP:WIAFA. Simply, enclose inline citations, with WP:CITE or WP:CITE/ES information, with <ref>THE FOOTNOTE</ref>. At the bottom of the article, in a section named “References” or “Footnotes”, add <div class="references-small"><references/></div>.
