message: The article currently has no sources. If anyone can add the references properly, please do. Otherwise I'm afraid it would probably fail straight away. PeaceNT 18:59, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Hi, I don't intend to make you upset but from my objective review, your article just fits Start-class. I'm really sorry if my words somewhat disappoint you. I'm also having a GA nominee but it still fails a lot of basic criteria for a good article. Your article:
*Not fully cite sufficient sources.
*Weasel words: "..Although he never complained about it, you could see he could not live properly from it."; "he did not hav to prove himself for becoming captain. He got the distinguished rank immediately, and his own boat with afine crew with it!" etc.
*Lead section is too short.
*Trvia section should be merge to other parts.
*And above all, the whole article reads like hoax.
I suggest you withdraw the nomination, trying to improve the article and take time reading the criteria for GA standard. Best wishes. AW 03:45, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

*2a/b - Correct the references by adding inline citations using WP:CITE guidelines.
*2c - I can't tell if this article contains original research as the citations are inadequate.
*4a - There are some words in this that break NPOV policy - for example 'legendary savior' - a phrase that could use some minor copyediting, along with much of the article. Perhaps copy the article into a word processor with spellcheck as well.
*6a/c - No tag for state funeral image.

message: Was Dorus actually named "Theodorus" as the street named after him in Den Helder suggests? And I was also wondering how he made money to live. Did the KNRM give small salaries to its captains or did he also have a regular occupation or did he just have enough money sitting around to live off of? TecTec 14:42, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Some questions 

message: This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of June 8, 2007, compares against the  six good article criteria:
:1. Well written?: Not really. There are many grammatical mistakes in the article, and the manual of style is not followed well; for example, there is no need to make the society's name bold.
:2. Factually accurate?: No. There is a serious lack of thrid party references and reliable sources. Additionally, the sources aren't formatted properly.
:3. Broad in coverage?: Possible.
:4. Neutral point of view?: No. Many of the text is written in a biased tone.
:5. Article stability? Yes.
:6. Images?: Good.
When these issues are addressed, the article can be resubmitted for consideration.  If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to a GA review.  Thank you for your work so far.
