The article passed a Good Article review last month and I'm intending to bring it to FAC when it's ready. My only other FA is an academic biography; I'm rather less experienced with history/politics topics so I'd like to get some pointers as to how this article could be improved. One particular point on which I would value feedback is how to make the article accessible for those who aren't well acquainted with the maze that is German politics around 1930.

- I think you may have trouble convincing some reviewers at FAC that the article can be considered fully comprehensive and well-researched when more than half of the citations are to a single source. The article is pretty short. Conciseness is good, but not at the expense of comprehensiveness. Looking on Google Scholar I found several sources discussing issues such as cross-party relationships[1][2] foreign policy[3] and an entire edited volume on the topic[4] You can probably access these with WP:TWL or at WP:RX. So I would say the article probably needs more research and expansion before it would be successful at FAC. Also, if I were doing a source review I would question if a 1930 source or Encyclopedia Brittanica really meet "high-quality" standard expected of sources at FAC.

- Thank you, Buidhe, this is already lots to work with. Thank you, also, for pointing out some English-language sources to which I should have institutional access. Best, Modussiccandi (talk) 08:26, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
- I have too much going on at the moment to devote any serious effort to this article. Many thanks, Buidhe, for you comments. Perhaps I will return to work on this one later this year. I'll be closing this peer review in a minute. Modussiccandi (talk) 11:14, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
