First assessment

~~First assessment forthcoming. voorts (talk/contributions) 14:02, 8 July 2023 (UTC)~~[reply]

Assessment completed. This passes. If an image of Peter II ever becomes available or a free use photograph of the Cenotaph from the mid-1940s is available, I would change out the current image for either of those, but I'm not going to hold up the GA for a search for images. voorts (talk/contributions) 14:54, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a. (prose, spelling, and grammar):

Looks good after copy edit.

b. (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

Looks good after copy edit.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a. (reference section):

Has a reference section. Although archive links are not necessary to meet GA criteria, it is best practice to include archive URLs.

b. (citations to reliable sources):

Checked all sources except for the book cited, for which I will AGF.

c. (OR):

No synth.

d. (copyvio and plagiarism):

Used Earwig's tool.
It is broad in its coverage.
a. (major aspects):

As the nominator noted, Peter II was short-lived and I couldn't turn up any additional sources via a search of TWL.

b. (focused):

Per 3a, the article goes into all of the detail it can.
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:

No bias.
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:

Checked page history and talk page.
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a. (images are tagged and non-free content have non-free use rationales):

Image copyright is fine.

b. (appropriate use with suitable captions):

Caption edited.
Overall:
Pass/fail:

(Criteria marked are unassessed)
