GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

the "Service/branch" tag in the infobox points to the German Army (1935–45). I recommend to list the other branches as well
linking Major, there is a link to Major (Germany), maybe better suited? I also think to keep all ranks in italics.

His early life, especially World War I and between the wars, actions are under represented. I will provide you with more input in the section below

As discussed, the criteria broad in its coverage is okay for now but should be expanded for higher quality ratings. Available literature provides more insight into his World War I career and his actions during the inter war years MisterBee1966 (talk) 05:18, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Things you don't know/can't but you may want to consider adding at some point

Thanks. I am not entirely familiar with the First Austrian Republic awards system, but given the common cross was a service award for a month's service in the Volkswehr, and as it was awarded to just about everyone who served, I don't think it should be included. The special cross though, is notable given only 1,000 or so were supposedly issued, so I will add it. I propose adding the exact date of the award of the Verleihung der Ehrenbürgerschaft into the text where the award is already mentioned. I understand the Medal of Merit in Gold was a lower award, but am unsure how common or notable it might be. I am not a fan of including every medal awarded to military people, as I know some are incredibly common and not notable. Have you any source that tells us where it might have been in the awards hierarchy? Regards, Peacemaker67 (send... over) 22:17, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
