Hey mate, very good catch, I am so used to the article that I do not see obvious issues like this one. BTW, I know you want to finish all articles first and then concentrate on the other stuff, but what do you think about the process Belgium has been through? Is it worth to work on all articles towards this goal? Miguel.mateo (talk) 14:20, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Of course the goal of any article is to become FA/FL better still part of a FT, If the article fills all criteria I have no objection to it becoming a FA/FL and I think its great that your working on the articles to meet the FA/FL criteria.

Personally I would not have done such work untill all articles where finished because I would have prioritized Quantity over Quality in a "get it out there" attitude.

I think the articles have reached a point where the input/output return on Quality and Quantity have been equalized and you where fast on the mark.

I really do hope the article reaches FL because it will be a first big win for our contributions on this topic.

I know things have been a little quite recently but I will help in the process where I can and I never planned to abandon this project untill all articles where FA/FL.Kevin hipwell (talk) 15:00, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

The main reason I wanted a small article like Belgium to go through this process was to learn what the process is and what are we lacking off. I took several notes of the so many things we have to change to meet FL criteria, and I think is better we have that in mind when building the new articles that are missing (like the format of the dates, the use of mm and inches in the measures ... etc.) I will continue contributing to the other articles to fill the information is missing and getting them in shape, I might submit a few of the current articles to the FL process (I do think Austria, Finland and Ireland are almost there), but one by one and little by little, I do not want to over flow ;) Thanks for your constant help!

Hi there Kevin,

I was wondering if you can take a quick look at the previous article nomination, and considering that your comments have been address (some of them by yourself), if you can help either supporting or denying this promotion. Thanks by the way for the good feedback.

Hello Kevin,

I can't find a really solid source, but this web page:

http://www.lvbeethoven.com/Portraits/GalleryPortraits.html

suggests you were probably correct to revert to Riedel. Boch evidently made a later copy. Opus33 (talk) 23:09, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
