[edit] Pieter Jeremias Blignaut

New article on colourful South African Afrikaner statesman of the late 19th century. This article is part of a series of Orange Free State biographies. Looking for B-status at least. Michel Doortmont (talk) 11:40, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Yannismarou

• "Blignaut turned out to be the right man for the job." Maybe POV and bit uncyclopedic.

  Removed sentence.

• "it was therefore only natural". Maybe peacock.

  I changed the phrasing to avoid misunderstanding of the meaning of "natural" here.

• It cannot be B-Class, because of the lack of citations. IMO it should also be further expanded with the addition of more material in the main article.

  There is a problem here: although a political person of substance (interim head of state), there is not that much more to tell about him. Besides, sources are not plentiful. Conclusion: (1) inline citation can be expanded, but will mainly refer to same sources, although more detailed; (2) addition of material in the main article is hard, there is not that much more. Will give it a try.

• In "See also", we avoid to place articles already linked in the main text.

  Removed entire section as all links were repeats.

• "External links" is empty!

  Is not: wikisource reference is here. Would you propose to put this elsewhere, and if so, where?

• For an assessment request, prefer Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Assessment.--Yannismarou (talk) 12:37, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

  Will do next time.

Thanks for the effort. Have another look in a couple of days, when I have dealt with the references. Michel Doortmont (talk) 21:32, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
