Talk:Otto of Greece

1471:) in July, but I was moved independently to begin the GAR process after looking at it. The article has severe deficiencies, first and foremost in coverage: most of Otto's reign (the crucial early period of the regency, the years of his own personal rule before 1843, and the events after apart from the Crimean War) are not adequately addressed. There exists a wealth of material on the man and his reign, and on this pivotal period in modern Greek history in general, but the relevant literature is barely included here, let alone consulted. In terms of comprehensiveness it fails both 3a and 3b by a long shot, many of the inline citations lack page numbers, and neutrality also has some issues (see talk page). This is a C-level article at best, and IMO should never have been promoted to GA in the first place. 710: 523: 502: 533: 190: 905: 884: 828: 915: 311: 232: 634: 607: 852: 766: 738: 418: 397: 644: 428: 366: 1224:) 19:14, 9 May 2009 (UTC) for my review. Overall the lead is good, you should add a couple of cites to some unsourced paragraphs and look to either expand or combine a couple of stub paragraphs. Otherwise I feel as though the article should be kept as GA. I made some minor corrections to the article as I reviewed it. If you have questions about this review please contact me on my talk page. 776: 1087:
Otto must have had more than one Christian name, which must have been followed by some dynastic moniker - presumably "von" something. He must also have had more titles; indeed, he must have been born with at least one title, perhaps Prince or Duke of Whatever. What was his full name, and what other

Greek parties in the Othonian era were based on two factors: the political activities of the diplomatic representatives of the Great Powers: Russia, United Kingdom and France and the affiliation of Greek political figures with these diplomats." Two stub paragraphs and these need to be cited.

Early reign section contains only 2 citations, there needs to be more. "The Greeks were soon more heavily taxed than under Turkish rule" How much more?, this could be considered questionable and needs a citation. "beautiful and talented Duchess Amelie of Oldenburg" is POV and needs a

The article says that king Othon had an illegitimate son called Manoli Tanga. I can't find any information about it and the article does't gove the page of the book SARAKATSANI – THE MOST ANCIENT PEOPLE OF EUROPE. May someone give more information about it ? Thanks a lot
1408:
Actually, the two last paragraphs in the section Parties, Finances and the Church are irrelevant to Otto and are a general and very subjective summary of the religious history of Greece. They should probably be removed.

The lead refers to "the three Great Powers", without making it clear which they were; and the rest of the article does not make it clear. Likely candidates are Britain, Russia, Germany, the Ottoman Empire, France.
