Leonard G. Montefiore

(

  • Reviewed: Huer's Hut
  • Comment: This was topical recently because of the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz

Created by Andrew Davidson (talk) and Der Keks (talk). Nominated by Andrew Davidson (talk) at 00:00, 10 February 2020 (UTC).

General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - ?
  • Interesting: Yes
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Needs citation for paragraph starting "In 1924". I'm also concerned by the hook; I'm not sure that it's adequately supported by the article. According to the article he was involved in the Windermere children but this was after the Holocaust and therefore it may be misleading to state that the children were "saved". Furthermore these children had a variety of nationalities and were not just "German Jews". buidhe 18:30, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

It appears the nominator was not notified of this on their talk page, so I left a message for them there. — Maile (talk) 20:23, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

I have expanded the article, adding a section about the subject's activities before and during WW2. More citations have been added too. Andrew🐉(talk) 11:57, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

  • Issues have been fixed, ALT0 approved. buidhe 18:59, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
  • @Buidhe: Thanks for the review. I'm having second thoughts about the ALT0 hook as I'm not sure that the part about the library has quite the right wording and it might be complicated to phrase it more exactly. Please can we go with ALT1 instead? Andrew🐉(talk) 23:43, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
  • ALT1 ... that Leonard Montefiore organised an airlift of hundreds of Jewish orphans who had survived the concentration camps?
    • Approved! I agree, ALT1 is better. buidhe 23:47, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
