Bulgaria

[edit]

Bulgaria played a major role in the axis powers. They blocked the Greek and Jugoslav armies from meeting. 2A00:23C7:5882:8201:ECA8:F2:5263:9306 (talk) 13:03, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am reviewing this (old or very old) FA as part of WP:URFA/2020, an effort to determine whether old featured articles still meet the featured article criteria.

  • Further reading seems a bit excessive and could benefit from pruning. The most relevant sources should be used in writing an FA, and it's unclear why so many others need be listed here.
  • There is a reference needed tag on an image here
  • There is a Harv Ref error for a museum, but when trying to see if the other citation backs the source so I can remove the Van Lierde website, I find a dead link, not at archive.org
    • van Lierde, Ed. "Slamat Commemoration". NL: Koninklijke Rotterdamsche Lloyd Te Oudehorne. Archived from the original on 6 January 2014. Retrieved 7 January 2014. Harv warning: There is no link pointing to this citation. The anchor is named CITEREFvan_Lierde.
    • The total number of deaths from the three sinkings was almost 1,000. Only 27 crew from Wryneck, 20 crew from Diamond, 11 crew and eight evacuated soldiers from Slamat survived.[dead link][156][157]
  • There are other Harv Ref errors; sources are listed that are not used.

This does warrant a trip to WP:FAR, but it would be optimal for these items to be cleaned up. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:22, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
