Talk:Yannis Makriyannis

message: This article is under review for Good Article status.  Unfortunatly, it does not yet meet the criteria.  However, it is not a million miles away, so I have put it on a 7 day hold rather than failed it outright.  If after 7 days the following changes have not been made, it may fail.
Anyone interested in getting this article to GA status should check out the good article criteria and try to ensure that this conforms.
Well written: The article is at times clunky and badly written.  "Ioannis Triantafyllou, as was his proper name, better known as Ioannis Makrygiannis..." - this is not English syntax, the order of this sentence in Early Life needs to be changed around.  "he probably joined the Filiki Etaireia in 1820. - explain jargon briefly rather than just wikilinking to it.  All that is needed is something like "he probably joined Filiki Etaireia, the anti-Ottoman secret society, in 1820".  "informing local members of the Filiki Etaireia of the state of Roumeli."  - informing them of what?
Factually accurate and verifiable: More references are needed, even if you end up with Memoirs referenced 100 times - that's better than making unsupported assertions.
Broad in its coverage: Passed
Has Neutral Point of View: In the head section: "This work [Memoirs] is an invaluable source of historical, linguistic and cultural knowledge about the period"  This is not neutral.  Don't call it invaluable.  In fact, just delete that passage and go straight to the Nobel laureate calling it great.
Stable: Passed

So, sort those things out.  Those examples are not the only ones, they are just examples.  You need to go through this article paying particular attention to how well it is written, verifiablity and NPOV.  It shouldn't take more than 7 days.  Thanks for all your good work so far, and keep it up! Chrisfow 23:13, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

A good article, has some spelling mistakes and I think it needs to have a wider range of sources but it is good enough to pass. Kyriakos 03:57, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I ran it through a spellchecker, there was one mistake in total, which has been promptly fixed. The rest is British usage, which I've tried to use consistently. I agree on the wider range of sources, but I'm thoroughly unable to provide them. Druworos 11:25, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: GA

message: This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force. Although I noticed a couple of minor issues (detailed below), I believe the article still meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article.
For future improvement, it is recommended that the decorative  template not be used in articles. We also recommend use of the templates on WP:CITET when formatting references and citations, and all books used for reference should give an ISBN where obtainable.
Thank you for your hard work. The article history has been updated to reflect this review. Regards, EyeSereneTALK 21:34, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Many citations cite book without giving page number, insufficiently verifiable. I also have doubts about the quality of sourcing since it relies heavily on the subject's memoirs and other nineteenth century works. (t · c) buidhe 04:32, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
