Pirate Party

Well written article on the topic of political parties. Containing a well referenced body and factual substance regarding the associated subject that is interesting for a reader. Lord Metroid 00:57, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I'm not going to go either way on this one since I'm not a FA expert, but it seems to me that you need more inline citations verifying various sections of this article, especially the history section. As it stands, much of what is claimed appears to be unverified. JHMM13 (T | C) 01:06, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Nice start, ~~but going from AfD to FAC in a month, without a peer review, is amibitious.~~ External link farm should be pruned; lacking citations (some examples only - The web server received a million hits on its first day of operation, two million the next. and Less than 24 hours after the opening of the website, the party had collected over 2,000 signatures (2,268 at 16.05 CEST). ) This is not a reliable source (Active country sections on Pirate Party International forums), and foreign language sources should be identified with the appropriate language icon.

Comment The AfD was 1 year ago in January 2 2006. Lord Metroid 08:02, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

oops - struck - a peer review might have been wise, anyway. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:23, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose as undercited; there's only one reference in the whole of "History and founding" (which could, incidentally, probably be shortened to "History"). Trebor 12:07, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
