Winston Churchill[edit]

This article is one of the best historical/biographical articles on Wikipedia. Deserves to be featured.--Mb1000 18:22, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • Object. It is POV, asserting things such as that he was an excellent writer and his state of mind at certain times. Trivia section should have its contents selectively merged or deleted. Quotes section is for Wikiquotes. Question, not necessarily an objection: was only one biography and one general history of the period used for this article? 119 18:45, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Object - Same reasons as 119 (except I see no reason not to have a selected quotes section). Lead is also completely inadequate. --mav 09:20, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Object - Same reasons as 119 and Mav. Plus remove external links from main body, I see at least one. Although I am pleasantly suprised the article does have 2 paras about Churchill-Poland issue in the late IIWW, but it may be further improved (both facts/links/pics and perhaps NPOVing) by using the material from Wladyslaw Sikorski FArticle. In addition I believe that Churchill pro Poland stance during Polish-Soviet War deserves a mention, as well as his after-IIWW policies that allowed communists to gain control over Poland. I will attempt to add this by myself when I have time. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 19:05, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
