Hi MisterBee1966, I will take up this review and try to get it wrapped up soon. Cheers Matarisvan (talk) 15:01, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@MisterBee1966, I will start with the image review, here it goes:

• Image 1: ok.
• Image 2: Consider adding FoP-Germany to the Commons page of the image? I don't know whether FoP applies retroactively, but you can never go wrong with being cautious, especially when dealing with German laws.

•  Done MisterBee1966 (talk) 13:40, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Image 3: Could we add this link [1] as the source for this image; RD Hooker Jr. as the author, and the PD-USGov-Military-Army tag because the image was published on a US Army website?

•  Done MisterBee1966 (talk) 13:42, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Image 4: ok.
• Image 5: ok.
• Image 6: ok.
• Image 7: ok.
• Image 8: add the FoP-Germany tag?

•  Done MisterBee1966 (talk) 13:44, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That's all on the image review, I will do the source review next, then the prose review, and spot checks at the end. Matarisvan (talk) 12:15, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@MisterBee1966, here goes the source review:

• How reliable is Tangmere Productions? I can't find a website for them, but their books have been cited by many other MILHIST books published by reliable publishers. Ditto for Struve-Druck and Classic Publications, no website, but many citations.

• Regarding Tangmere Productions, the book by Jill Amadio was written in cooperation with Donald S. Lopez Sr., deputy director of the National Air and Space Museum, and Von Hardesty, museum curator (see page 405). Consequently, I think this to be reliable. MisterBee1966 (talk) 10:37, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Regarding Struve-Druck, the main author Jochen Prien is husband to Karin Prien. He describes his research here. I find his work thoroughly researched and well referenced, with over 30 years of work going into his books. I find his books very reliable. MisterBee1966 (talk) 11:38, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• How reliable is Selbstverlag Florian Berger? It is a self publishing house afaict. There is no website, and Google Books shows that their books have been cited in just one book not published by them.

• Berger published a series of books, abstracting the military career of German and Austrian soldiers. His works are based on the German and Austrian archives, and family records and interviews. I would consider his books reliable for facts (when and what), less so on evaluation and interpretation (why). MisterBee1966 (talk) 11:16, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• How reliable is Eagle Editions? They do have a website, and some citations in other books, mostly those published by Bloomsbury and one each by Casemate and Frontline. However, their own website does not list Bergström 2003 as one of their publications (link here: [2]). Eagle seems like an aviation hobbyist outfit, and they have only published 8 books so far, so I am not sure if they are really reliable.

• The book in question was written by Christer Bergström. You may want to watch the interview of Joseph Peterburs (start watching about 32 minutes into the video). Bergström is a reliable source. MisterBee1966 (talk) 12:20, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• The publisher Pacifica Military History does not have a website, but its books have been cited in books published by reliable publishers. This publisher's works have also been listed on Perlego which helps their case. They do seem reliable but you might have an issue with using their book at FAC, or you may not. If you want to retain their book as a source, please add their location of publication for Bergström & Mikhailov 2001.

•  Done, added location MisterBee1966 (talk) 11:11, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Greenhill Books seems reliable. Please add the location of publication for Caldwell & Muller 2007.

•  Done MisterBee1966 (talk) 10:43, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• In Corum 2003, link James Corum, add 26274420 as the JSTOR ID, add the page numbers and remove the publisher link? Otherwise you will have to link all the other publishers for consistency.

•  Done, regarding page numbers, see citation #117 it mentions the pages MisterBee1966 (talk) 10:42, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• In Frieser et al 2007; link Gerhard Schreiber and Bernd Wegner?

•  Done MisterBee1966 (talk) 11:45, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• In Glancey 2004, link Jonathan Glancey?

•  Done MisterBee1966 (talk) 11:55, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• In Hayward 1998, remove the links to the location of publication and the publisher? Otherwise you will have to link all of them for consistency.

• I would like to retain links publishers when available. Is there a specific MOS rule to follow? MisterBee1966 (talk) 10:52, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• In Leonhard et al 2016, add the location of publication?

•  Done MisterBee1966 (talk) 12:00, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Verlag Dieter Hoffmann seems reliable, though you could have issues with using it at FAC.

• This seems like a comment, is there a specific recommendation here?

• Add the location of publication for Parker 1998?

•  Done MisterBee1966 (talk) 10:45, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Remove the two links to Ivy Books, the single link to Schiffer, the three links to Osprey and the two links to ABC-CLIO?

• See earlier comment on links to publishers MisterBee1966 (talk) 10:53, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Please replace or remove the URL in Weal 2001.

•  Done MisterBee1966 (talk) 10:43, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Remove the two "Unknown" entries in the author names?

•  Done MisterBee1966 (talk) 10:50, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That's all on the source review. Cheers Matarisvan (talk) 22:23, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@MisterBee1966, looks like both the image review and the source review have passed. I will do the prose review next, and the spot checks at the end. Cheers Matarisvan (talk) 12:47, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@MisterBee1966, could you please review my GA nomination for Vinod Bhatia? No worries if not. I will do the prose review tomorrow. Matarisvan (talk) 19:05, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@MisterBee1966, I made some changes, I hope those are alright with you. I did some spot checks and they turned out fine. The article is now in good shape and I can promote it. Congratulations on another nice GA. Cheers Matarisvan (talk) 14:10, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
