Review section
[edit]I am nominating this featured article for review because...This old FA article suffers from a lot of sourcing issues. Most of the citations aren't formatted properly, for example. the lack of authors, dates of articles, etc. + the usage of unreliable sources such as ref 53, ref 56, and possibly more + there are a lot of unsourced statements and citation needed tags + the depiction of race section is barely standing with that short content in there + the cultural influence section should definitely be expanded in order for the article to meet the current FA standard. đBP!đ (đ) 22:50, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Move to FARC uncited passages remain, and the lead needs to be reformatted as the first paragraph is too long. Z1720 (talk) 16:33, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
