[edit] Morris Cohen (adventurer)

Was he in the ghetto? I saw contradictory info from unreliable sources. ←Humus sapiens ^ну? 10:55, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] John G. Stoessinger

I remove the description of John G. Stoessinger from "Partial list of notable Shanghai ghetto survivors". His family were ordered to move to the ghetto, but a diplomat named Manabe, who got acquainted with them in Trans-Siberian Railway, issue the special permit. --Pocopen 16:33, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Since he was not in the ghetto, wouldn't the sentence about him better belong to Chiune Sugihara? ←Humus sapiens ^ну? 10:31, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA on hold

This article will be put on hold (for 7 days) until these minor adjustments can be made :

1. Well written? Pass

2. Factually accurate? Fail

3. Broad in coverage? Pass

4. Neutral point of view? Pass

5. Article stability? Pass

6. Images? Pass

Additional comments :

• As of now, only citations are inline cited though some material could be controversial so I request the addition of inline citations (maybe 5 ... the number is not important, what counts is what is cited) to the controversial parts of the article and to parts that could even be termed as original research to remove any doubt.

• • Added a whole bunch and IMHO that already improved the article. Thanks for reviewing it. ←Humus sapiens ^ну? 23:19, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA passed

Adding such references already give credibility to the editors and to the sourcing of the material in the article. Thanks a lot for having taken the time to add those. Lincher 00:21, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA delisted

In order to uphold the quality of Wikipedia:Good articles, all articles listed as Good articles are being reviewed against the GA criteria as part of the GA project quality task force. Unfortunately, as of September 16, 2007, this article fails to satisfy the criteria, as detailed below. For that reason, the article has been delisted from WP:GA. However, if improvements are made bringing the article up to standards, the article may be nominated at WP:GAC. If you feel this decision has been made in error, you may seek remediation at WP:GA/R.

• The lead does not appear to adequately summarize the article.
• Image:Jewish Refugees in Shanghai.jpg has an adequate fair use rationale. Image:19430218 shanghai herald ghetto restrictions.jpg is missing a fair use rationale.
• Each web reference needs the author, publisher, publishing date and access date.
• Every statement that is likely to be challenged needs an inline citation.
