replies: text:  That's a great start. There are now fact tags up that need addressing. I've never seen the "inote" style before. To me, the FA article looks unreferenced. Can you tell me how it works? --CTSWyneken(talk) 10:59, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'll fix them. I probably shouldn't review it anyway, since I encouraged the listing. --CTSWyneken(talk) 13:06, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I hope you all don't mind if I do some work in making the references more formal. I figured since I'm not going to review the article, I might as well edit it. The citation thing is a part of what I do on my day job, so please forgive my librarianess. Bob --CTSWyneken(talk) 13:22, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  GA Nomination encouraged 

message: We need to find better references for this section. The only way to get to it is through the google archive. If time permits, I'll do a bit of casting about myself. --CTSWyneken(talk) 13:52, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'll take a look at this one, but would be more comfortable if we had an academic source. --CTSWyneken(talk) 20:48, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Later Years 

message: This article is well-written and well-sourced, but there are two minor POV concerns I have. One is the use of the word "massacre" in the "World War II" section. That word carries heavy emotional connotations, and if a different description could be found that was just as informative, it would be better to use it instead. I'm not sure what way to put it that would be accurate, though. Assault? Defense? Battle?
The other problem is the issue of anti-Semitism. Obviously, this is a subject that leads to lots of problems at Wikipedia. It's important to include the information, but we need to be doubly-careful to source all information in the "Later years" section. For instance, a tightening of source 9 would be nice (What page or passage?). And every subsequent sentence in that paragraph could use an explicit source. – Quadell (talk) (bounties) 15:03, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Treason is everywhere about us and I do not believe that we have any chance unless some strong military person is able to seize power by means of a "coup d'etat" and take the Communist bull by the horns right at home.
He also was close to Junio Valerio Borghese, an Italian-fascist war-criminal, and was friends with (and gave money to) George Lincoln Rockwell, head of the American Nazi Party.
Perhaps this should be included in a "Controversial beliefs" section? The article certainly isn't complete without this information. – Quadell (talk) (bounties) 15:16, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
