[edit] Cleanup

I notice that this article has been tagged for cleanup. I would love to help with that. I was the one who wrote the article, so I would appreciate some guidance here. Can you be specific? What needs to be done to improve the quality? --Ashley Rovira 16:52, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

I think the format needs improved to come into line with other biographical pages.--Couter-revolutionary 17:42, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Try looking at the layout of a WP:FA like Frederick_Hamilton-Temple-Blackwood,_1st_Marquess_of_Dufferin_and_Ava to see how they are set out and/or wikilinked. Alci12 18:18, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you very much. I just combined three of the non-Wikipedia standard sections into a more traditional format (for Wikipedia of course). Do you think it's better? I will keep the Cleanup banner on there unless told that it can be removed. Do you think my references and citations are good? --Ashley Rovira 14:16, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Classification as start

I have classified this article as a start. It covers Bismarck's life reasonably well. Capitalistroadster 09:44, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
