Adriaan van Hees edit

Adriaan van Hees in 1942
Adriaan van Hees in 1942
  • ... that Dutch Nazi, actor, and theater critic Adriaan van Hees (pictured in 1942) became depressed when he discovered he was part Jewish, but still volunteered for the SS - and was denied?

  • Beginning review Article is new enough and long enough. Article is well referenced. AGF on non-English sources. Picture is free and displays well. Philafrenzy (talk) 00:28, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Hook is correctly formatted. Article is neutral. Removed "severely" from the hook as unnecessary. QPQ required. A ref is required for the fact that he volunteered for the SS and was rejected. Philafrenzy (talk) 19:19, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Philafrenzy, that entire paragraph is sourced to the Van der Logt source (which is excellent, truly excellent). If DYK rules require it I can put a reference at the end of that sentence, but it's pedantic and I would remove it the moment this gets the tick. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 01:40, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
Yes it is required by DYK rules. Philafrenzy (talk) 06:43, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
Philafrenzy, citations provided. Review added. Drmies (talk) 01:50, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
I concur with Philafrenzy's findings. QPQ done and not claimed previously that I can find. No copyvio issues. I've made a few small tweaks, nothing major. Image is usable. I find the hook interesting and don't see an easy way to shorten it. Good to go with AGF on Dutch language source (though page numbers for the thesis reference would be good). @Drmies: please don't change references until after the article has been on the main page. Thanks. EdChem (talk) 15:33, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Thanks EdChem--the thesis itself has page numbers but the appendices apparently don't. Drmies (talk) 17:49, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
