Talk:World War I/to do
 |
Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

Reviewer observations from Wikipedia:WikiProject_Military_history/Assessment/World_War_I:
- No dab links that need to be fixed.
Several dead links according to the link checker tool.- Images need ALT text per WP:ALT
- There are still several fact tags in the article that need to be rectified.
Citation needed tags scattered throughout the article need to be fixed.- Lede is far too small
- Opening Hostilities section far too small and uncited, the same for much of the Early Stages section.
- And the Southern Theatres section
- And the Eastn Front, which still has a tag
- And New States section
- In fact, let's just say most of the article is either uncited or undercited and also needs a great deal of expansion.
- Beware of any kind of of pro-Western Front bias.
- Ref list needs auditing. First thing I checked was Ref 12, Fromkin
... err ... there are two Fromkin items(typo fixed-Fromkin2004 pertains). And gee, I hope that guy is authoritative, because the claim that military expenditure rose by 50% needs to be explained in a little detail, since there could be so many different variables.- (see David Fromkin and judge for yourself)
Interruptors: spaced en dashes or unspaced em dashes? Both are used.Unspaced em.- The images need
boosting in size,each scrutinised on the basis of quality (res, etc), height, caption length,relationship to surrounding text and images,and critically, internal detail. The Br. Grand Fleet looks like a bad case of skin rash and pimples. Austrian troops: the relevance, the detail, is impossible to make out. The corpses: amazing pic, and hugely dramatic. Bigger, please. Initial actions: please see the MoS on text sandwiching! Please note the change in WP:IUP on image sizes, which has loosened up about forced size increases. Experiment with 230–250px? Note that default thumbnail will increase from 180 to 220 next week, probably.- (Changed to upright=1.4|right|thumb for most, 1.5 for some.)
