GA Reassessment

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch

I am doing the GA Reassessment on this article as part of the GA Sweeps project.

I have some concerns about this article.

• Link [4] in the references section is dead.
• In the Election Results section there is the statement that there were significant politcal changes as a result of the election. These changes are not spelled out. In fact in the lead it says that the election went predictably for the parties in power. From a comprehensive stand point this needs to be expanded. The article is fairly short for a GA, is there any further information that can be added? Were there referendums that were voted on as well or was it purely a candidate election? What were the criteria for trimming down the 60,000 candidates? What is meant by "crossing out" the candidates? How could they vote against them since only communist candidates were on the ballot?

Considering the work that needs to be done on this article I feel that it does not meet the GA Criteria and I will delist at this time. If the article can be improved then please renominate at WP:GAC. H1nkles (talk) 16:56, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

It took me a while to get back to this article. So yes, link 4 was dead. I found a replacement, but it seems to be having issues too (I can access it through Google's cache, but not directly), neither of them is in the Internet Archive. I hope it will stabilize itself. You misread the part about the significant changes - they were referring to the background, not aftermath. I've clarified that. I will also see if I can expand the article further. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 21:35, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

With the new aftermath section, I think the article is ready for a new review. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 22:46, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
