[edit] Review commentary

WP Netherlands, WP Biography, WP MilHist, Iblardi and Arnoutf notified. DrKiernan 09:48, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Despite the FA status, the article has almost no references at all. It requires urgent referencing. --Drieakko 09:28, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] FARC commentary

Suggested FA criteria concern is referencin (1c). Marskell 08:44, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

• Remove per 1c. LuciferMorgan 14:10, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
• Remove per above. The fewest references I've ever seen for an FA. -- Kicking222 17:25, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
• Remove Unfortunately, although work has been done on the page, there are insufficient inline citations to assess statements such as 'described by contemporaries as "ugly and ill-tempered"', 'legally disbanded…on claims of insanity', that he 'allow[ed] forgeries of messages', etc. These may well be true, but I'd like to see (both the original and modern edited) sources for them nevertheless.
