Talk:Sumgait pogrom/GA2

GA Reassessment

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch
This article has several problems relative to the GA criteria:

Close paraphrasing: for example, compare "called these pogroms "a real threat of extermination" to the indigenous Armenian community within Azerbaijan and in the autonomous region of Mountainous Karabagh with 80 percent of Armenian population" with "these pogroms constitute “a real threat of extermination” to the indigenous Armenian community in Azerbaijan and in the autonomous region of Mountainous Karabagh, whose inhabitants are 80 percent Armenian"
Verifiability: some material is lacking sources while other sections are not supported by the given sources. For example, "Meanwhile, on the previous day, two battalions from the MVD, troops mainly equipped with truncheons and riot gear (those troops who were armed with firearms were armed with blanks and not given the permission to open fire), arrived in Sumgait in buses and armored personnel carriers" is cited to Kaufman 64, which says only that "Soldiers were introduced into the city by the 29th but were reportedly not given orders to shoot until later"
WP:W2W/WP:NPOV: includes terms like "renowned" and takes a clear editorial position on some aspects of the story
Grammar: article needs general copy-editing
Images: too many non-free images with inadequate rationales. Nikkimaria (talk) 12:25, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Nikkimaria: you may want to delist this article now, as there has been practically zero improvement since the beginning of the reassessment. sst✈^discuss 14:08, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
