GA reassessment of Han van Meegeren[edit]
I have conducted a reassessment of the above article as part of the GA Sweeps process. I have found some concerns with the referencing which you can see at Talk:Han van Meegeren/GA1. I have placed the article on hold whilst these are fixed. Thanks. Jezhotwells (talk) 18:34, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
Request for assistance; Error in map; File:Exploring expeditions of Sven Hedin 1886-1935.jpg[edit]
I'm not able to correct the error that I've found, hence my request for assistance. In the map - displayed halfway through the article - File:Exploring expeditions of Sven Hedin 1886-1935.jpg there is a grave error. The second expedition noted in this map - marked by a blue line - is thought to have lasted from 1890 till 1991, which - I must confess - is quite a stretch to be away from the Missus and domestic issues plaguing the weary traveller. I've tried uploading own works to the commons - thusfar unsuccessfully - so I'd be pleased if some kind spirit would change these dates to the correct ones; 1890 - 1891. TIA
Tag Michael Gäbler. Ich bin nicht imstande eine Fehler zu korigieren die ich in ein von ihnen hochgeladenes Bild angetroffen habe, und darum bite ich um ihre Hilfe dabei. In die Karte - halbwegs durch den Artikel über Sven Hedin - File:Exploring expeditions of Sven Hedin 1886-1935.jpg gibt's einen grossen Fehler. Die zweite Linie - blau - gibt an die Expedition hat gedauert von 1890 bis 1991, das mir - wie ich gestehen muss - ein wenig Lange scheint das mann von die Dame zuhause weg ist. Ich habe vorher versucht andere Bilder hochzuladen - bislang ohne Erfolg - also möchte ich ihnen gerne bitten dies zu Korigieren zu den richtigen Daten; 1890 - 1891. Dank im Voraus. TIA Qwrk (talk) 15:18, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you very much. I changed the description 1890 - 1891 in the File:Exploring expeditions of Sven Hedin 1886-1935.jpg. It is ok. I wish you all the best. --Michael Gäbler (talk) 23:29, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
- Michael, I turn to you once more. I've been in contact with Hakan Wahlstrom of the swedish etnografic museum about the error, and upon checking I see the preview of the image still has the eroneous date. Is that a thing that you'd also be able to fix? Thanks in advance and best of greetings, Bob Qwrk (talk) 13:19, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Quality[edit]
Hi & Guten Tag. Just my personal opinion: You have some very nice images around, but Adi Holzer is not one of them in my view, although it is getting added to lots of places where it is not really representative. Cheers. History2007 (talk) 23:21, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
