B-Class reassessment request: Charles Thau

Hello, I’d like to request a reassessment of the article Charles Thau, currently rated as C-class.

The article has undergone substantial expansion and improvement, including:

Reliable, secondary sourcing from international and U.S. publications (e.g., *Freie Presse*, *Der Spiegel*, *The Forward*, *Military History Now*, *Milwaukee Journal*).
A well-organized structure with clear sectioning (Early life, Partisan activity, Red Army service, Postwar, Recognition).
Use of historical photographs with proper attribution.
Compliance with WP:NPOV and WP:V, with personal connection declared.

I believe the article now satisfies the six B-class criteria: 1. **Well-written:** Article is grammatically correct and professionally presented. 2. **Verifiable with no original research:** All major claims are supported by citations from verifiable sources. 3. **Broad in coverage:** Covers key aspects of Thau’s life and significance. 4. **Neutral:** Written from a neutral point of view, with COI declared. 5. **Stable:** No ongoing edit wars or significant content disputes. 6. **Illustrated:** Images are used appropriately and enhance the article.

Any feedback from reviewers is welcome. Thank you! Milwaukee911 (talk) 14:53, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Dates of service of US Attorneys General

Hi there! An IP user is actively adjusting quite a few dates of US Attorneys General, which I think is being done in good faith. However, it's causing a number of inconsistencies across the articles of each person, and with the United States Attorney General page.

I wanted to check in with folks who might know more than me: are dates of service often unclear? Perhaps I'm misunderstanding resources reference to 'appointed', whether that's referencing nomination, confirmation, etc. It's surprising how much sources disagree and how many existing dates have been corrected.

Any insight would be helpful! Mad Jim Bey talk 17:42, 7 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
