Review section

This is a 2006 promotion whose main editors have not edited for several years and that has not been maintained to standard. There has been no response to the 2020-12-16 talk page notification. Other concerns were raised at the previous out-of-process FAR, at Wikipedia:Featured article review/Nostradamus/archive1. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:26, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

I spot a large amount of uncited text here; there are several unsourced sentences and large paragraphs that rely on a single reference at the end. This article was promoted back when inline citations were not compulsory in FAs and it shows; fails 1. c) at the moment, particularly the bit claims... are supported by inline citations where appropriate. Then, we have references to popular culture in the Works section, the Interpretations section, and then again in the section In popular culture; there's repetition and trivia in the article. There has been a lot of fascination with Nostradamus over the centuries and it is unclear to me if all those claims made by unnamed people that are currently listed in the Popular claims section are even worth mentioning. That run-on sentence starting with With the exception of Roberts... reads like a list of trivia. RetiredDuke (talk) 13:01, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
