Stanislav Krakov

(

... that Stanislav Krakov (pictured), Serbian writer, soldier and director was wounded seventeen and awarded eighteen times, and directed the best Serbian documentary film account of WWI ever?

Comment: I like the concept of the article. But I think it needs to have some of the facts checked or English sources added. I left a specific comment on the article's talk page. TeriEmbrey (talk) 19:37, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
The "Early life" section is completely unsourced. The source cited at the end of the "Military days" section only verifies the first and last sentences (as far as I can tell from Google Translate). The "Career" section cites an offline source – does this source verify all the information in that section? DoctorKubla (talk) 16:12, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

The issues I raised have been addressed by the addition of more footnotes, but I'm concerned about the quality of the sources used. One source is a forum post which republishes this version of the Serbian Wikipedia article. Another is the subject's autobiography – this is a primary source, and may not be reliable. However, the journal source added by User:Anastan looks excellent; I can only read an extract of it online, but Anastan might have full access to it, so you could try dropping him a line. And I notice that the Serbian WP article sources most of its content to the Serbian Biographical Dictionary and Who's Who in Nedić's Serbia, 1941-1944, which would both be good sources if you could get hold of them.

The nominator can have one more week to respond to the concerns raised above, after which I am going to reject this article if no response has been forthcoming. Gatoclass (talk) 07:51, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

On November 25, the nominator's most recent edit was to combine the two reminders from DoctorKubla into a single talk-page section, over two weeks after they'd been made. It's been another two weeks since then. I'm disinclined to allow yet another full week under the circumstances; I think setting a deadline of 48 hours from now is more than generous, and had frankly been planning on rejecting the article today once the two weeks from that edit had expired.

Rejecting; still no response. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:56, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
