I'll review this article within 48 hours; been waiting for a review much too long. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 15:09, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

Here are the issues I found with the lead:

• "is the main executive branch element of government in Croatia." element isn't really needed here.
• "established and a head (ban) " either head or ban can be used here, both seems a bit unwieldy.

• Both fixed as suggested.--Tomobe03 (talk) 19:23, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

Will do the rest soon. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 19:14, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

Here's the rest of my concerns:

• "said that a political party forms the Government." not convinced that the italics is needed there.

• Come to think of it, neither am I. Removed.--Tomobe03 (talk) 09:47, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

• "The Government manages the property of the Republic of Croatia unless" so no one owns any homes there? Just making sure I'm reading it right.

• Uh, that came of wrong. The government manages state property unless legislation provides otherwise. There is, of course, private property and the government has nothing to do with its management. I reworded this now and wikilinked state property, hopefully clarifying situation. Could you please have another look at this now?--Tomobe03 (talk) 09:52, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

• "whose portfolio (area of responsibility) overlaps" the definition should be used at first use of the word rather than the second.

• Moved as suggested.--Tomobe03 (talk) 09:56, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

• "acted as an administrative body governing Croatia within the Austrian Empire as a provisional government while the council existed (until 1850)." reword a bit to remove parenthesis. Also, does that mean it was only in existence three years? Noting that instead could help.

• Reworded to remove the parenthesis and to stress duration of establishment of the council.--Tomobe03 (talk) 10:06, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

• "(of limited powers, excluding defence and foreign relations; the same was true of all preceding forms of government since the 19th century)." not sure the second part in the parentheses is needed.

• No it's not contributing to the section - and it is removed now.--Tomobe03 (talk) 10:10, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

I'll put the article on hold and will pass when the issues are fixed. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 04:57, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Thank you very much for taking time and effort to review the article.--Tomobe03 (talk) 10:10, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Everything looks good now, so I'll pass the article as a GA. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 16:21, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
