Lord Kitchener Wants You

[edit]

Britons: Lord Kitchener Wants You. Join Your Country's Army! God save the King

Improved to Good Article status by Chris troutman (talk). Self nominated at 17:11, 22 December 2014 (UTC).

  • I've struck ALT0 because the source doesn't state this as fact, just its own speculation. EEng (talk) 22:56, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
  • I disagree and I reverted your change at the article. Lubin doesn't say he's speculating. Maybe you think he is. Chris Troutman (talk) 15:39, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
Lubin says "But more likely the particular moustache Orwell had in mind belonged to" Kitchener. More likely, combined with the fact he cites to nothing, makes it speculation. EEng (talk) 15:54, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
  • Article was improved to GA and nominated within the required time frame. ALT2 is the most interesting fact, IMO, and has been verified by provided inline citation. Image is in the public domain. --ThaddeusB (talk) 03:49, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
