"During the first school years, von Braun attended a French secondary school in Berlin" ... he was only 8? Victuallers (talk) 10:25, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this is true. In this time, there wasn't really a difference between secondary and primary school. He was teached at a secondary school "Die ersten Schuljahre verbrachte Wernher von Braun auf dem französischen Gymnasium in Berlin" (from ref #5) - The first schoolyears, WvB attended a French Grammar school/secondary school in Berlin. It looks ok for me, at least for the time we talking about. Barras (talk) 15:31, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not up to GA anymore[change source]

IMO, this article isn't GA quality anymore. It only has ten references, and there are several paragraphs and sentences that still need them. The references we do have aren't formatted properly. In addition, some of the sections could do with a little more length. I had pointed this out some time ago, but my concerns were not addressed. If it's not fixed in a week, I am proposing its demotion. Purplebackpack89 03:07, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"It only has ten references" - That isn't that much of an issue, the article isn't that long, so the number of references seems to be ok for me.
Please be specific which things still need a reference and please remember that there is no need to put a reference for every single sentence. Sometimes, there is no need for a reference.
I agree, the references look a bit weird, I think they got spoiled when some code was changed. I'll try to fix this.
Can you point me to somewhere where you pointed out this before. Just out of curiosity, not that it matters much.
Thanks, -Barras (talk) 09:27, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the references need additional information, as well; and I’m not sure some of them are reliable. For the previous time, I nominated it PAD…BG7 claimed it was POINT and closed it instantly before any of the concerns could be addressed. Purplebackpack89 15:52, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's been a week and no changes...so to PAD we go Purplebackpack89 04:18, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please leave a note at WP:ST next time as well, because, if you did, I missed it, and if you didn't you're not doing the community any favours by nominating this for demotion without letting anyone but Barras know, especially when he told you he was busy.

Notes are not required for PAD nomination; placing it on PAD is sufficient Purplebackpack89 03:51, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Not required, correct, but please use common sense in future and try to get the community to help out. A simple note at WP:ST is all you needed to do. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:21, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with TRM on that. Not many people follow PAD, because we don't often have pages go through there. ST or AN is highly watched, so if you really want some attention, they are the places to go.--Gordonrox24 | Talk 21:06, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
