Hi, simongraham. I'm glad that you took this review on, but I'm not convinced that it provides sufficient scrutiny of its topic per Wikipedia:Reviewing_good_articles#Assessing_the_article_and_providing_a_review. It's expected that you at minimum are able to check some of the sources and verify the most important points in the article. This is doubly true for Balkan history (especially historical atrocities) which are known for being highly controversial and should get extra scrutiny to make sure that they're accurate and balanced.

@Buidhe: Thank you for your comments. I did these activities as part of the review and found the article in compliance with the GA requirements without large amendments being required. I have expanded the review to provide more information; it is now in line with other GA reviews (for example The Holocaust in Albania). Please tell me if you would like more explanation or if there are omissions. However, I would like to commend the author as I feel this article is amongst the best written of those I have reviewed for GA. simongraham (talk) 07:23, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
As long as you checked for accuracy, it's good. Never hurts to state explicitly in the GA review what you did to evaluate the article as it lets other editors know that the review was fully rigorous. (t · c) buidhe 07:38, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
