Hi. I'm Calvin999 and I am reviewing this nomination.

Multiple links are either dead or have connection problems Thanks for this information. I will review all the dead or forbidden links as soon as I have time and replace them whenever possible
governments of Serbia and the United States. → You've linked Serbia but not United States? Corrected
by establish diplomatic relations → typo Corrected
You can tack the one sentence long fourth paragraph onto the end of the third one. One line paragraphs look silly. Corrected
United States and Yugoslavia → I'm pretty sure Yugoslavia didn't exist in the 2000s and hasn't since 1992? Discussed
Diplomatic relation→ relations Corrected
between then- → between the then Corrected
In 1879 the → Comma after 1879 Corrected
On 3 February 1882 → Comma after 1882 Corrected
Such cooperation were highlighted → was, not were Corrected
There's overlinking of Chetniks's here. Corrected
The United States Air Force (USAF) and the British Royal Air Force → Put (RAF) after Royal Air Force to be consistent Made consistent, just used acronyms 'USAF' and 'RAF'
Overlinking of Josip Broz Tito Corrected
March 23, 1999. → You've switched date formats from British to American The dates throughout the article are now in American format
devoted over $30 million → You can't devote money to someone (not in this sense, anyway). Donate would be better here. Corrected
On June 25 → Comma after the date, and you've switched date formats Corrected
as he was assassinated on March 12, 2003. → Date formatting ???
On February 15, 2008, → Date formatting ???
On April 19, 2012, shortly → Date formatting ???
SNS-era (2012-), the last two one line paragraphs can be tacked on to the end of the proper paragraph. Corrected
You flick between US, U.S., and United States throughout the article. Pick one and be consistent with it (as with the date formatting)
Trade and investment, again that stray sentence, just put it on the end of the proper paragraph. Corrected
Don't WP:SHOUT in the references (not block capitals) Corrected
Lots of references are missing access dates. What about references with dates (i.e. date the author wrote the source) and without access dates? Are these mutually exclusive requirements for a good article?
- If an article doesn't have a date of publication, then you obviously can't include one. But all sources should have the date you accessed it. — Calvin999 22:38, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You're using another type of different date formatting in the references, such as 2008-02-08 in addition to 13 September 2010. Be consistent with the format. Corrected when possible (some sources did not display the date to the exact day, and whenever I would change the access dates to that format I would get some sort of syntax errors (in red) in the references section

Outcome

On hold for 7 days. — Calvin999 18:14, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Just started working on this. I have put a Corrected label by the points which you suggested. I am not done yet though. Thanks for the suggestions though! Zastavafan76 (talk) 21:07, 21 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  - Thanks for the patience! Zastavafan76 (talk) 19:44, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've gone through the references and improved a fair few of them. You can do the remaining few. As this was the only thing that needed doing, I'm closing the review as a pass. — Calvin999 10:16, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
