[edit] Jacobus Groenendaal

This article is part of a series of Orange Free State biographies. This is a new article about the first nineteenth-century State Secretary of the Orange Free State. As created, it is more than a stub and I am looking for at least a class=Start in both listed Projects.Michel Doortmont (talk) 23:15, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Javascript review

The following suggestions were generated with the aid of a semi-automatic javascript program:

• Per Wikipedia:Context and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates), months and days of the week generally should not be linked. Single years without accompanying dates, decades, and centuries should only be linked if they provide context for the article.^[?]

• All linked dates checked: all provide context for the article. Michel Doortmont (talk) 13:41, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

• No images! Please see if there are any free use images that fall under the Wikipedia:Image use policy and fit under one of the Wikipedia:Image copyright tags that can be uploaded. To upload images on Wikipedia, go to Special:Upload; to upload non-fair use images on the Wikimedia Commons, go to commons:special:upload.^[?]

• An image may be hard to come by and acquiring one will most likely construe original research. Michel Doortmont (talk) 13:27, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
• It is now confirmed that Groenendaal died in 1860, which makes it highly unlikely an image will turn up. Photographs in the 1850s were still Daguerrotypes, which are now very rare. I can not imagine a drawing or painting turning up, although it is not impossible. Michel Doortmont (talk) 16:08, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

• You may wish to consider adding an appropriate infobox for this article, if one exists relating to the topic of the article.^[?]

• Infobox added. Michel Doortmont (talk) 13:27, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

• This article is a bit too short, and therefore may not be as comprehensive as it could be. Please see if anything can be expanded upon.^[?]

• This article is about a relevant historical office holder, but of secondary importance. It may therefore be slightly problematic to add information without original research. Will check Suid Afrikaanse Biografiese Woordenboek for an entry and relevant references. Michel Doortmont (talk) 13:50, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
• Checked literature and added a considerable amount of information. Michel Doortmont (talk) 16:08, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

You may wish to browse through User:AndyZ/Suggestions for further ideas. Thanks, DrKiernan (talk) 12:43, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

• Checked. Michel Doortmont (talk) 16:08, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Request for B-status

It is my feeling that the article now qualifies for B-status. If you agree, make it happen! Michel Doortmont (talk) 16:08, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
