Wilhelm Keitel
Keitel as Chief of the Armed Forces High Command
... that Wilhelm Keitel (pictured) was nicknamed "Lakatiel" (lackey) because of his craven willingness to function as Adolf Hitler's mouth-piece?- ALT1:... that Wilhelm Keitel (pictured) was promoted to Chief of the Armed Forces High Command because of his craven willingness to function as Adolf Hitler's mouth-piece?

- Comment: Changed username. Sources in article. The first hook is probably better if the image is used.
Improved to Good Article status by K.e.coffman (talk). Nominated by Fiamh (talk) at 03:24, 5 November 2019 (UTC).
- @Fiamh: Before I pass this nomination, can you explain what "Changed username" means? --- Coffeeandcrumbs 20:03, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
- Coffeeandcrumbs, In the QPQ DYK review my username is Zerach, but if you click on the link it will redirect to User:Fiamh. Sorry if I wasn't clear. Fiamh (talk, contribs) 20:18, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Fiamh and K.e.coffman: This source indicates that the way the sentence is written in the article is not precise enough. See de:Lakai. His surname does not translate into 'lackey' and "Lakatiel" does not translate into 'lackey' as the hook indicates. It is more accurate to say the nickname ("Lakatiel") is an amalgamation of his name and the German word for lackey or servant or footman. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 20:53, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
i.e.:ALT0a:... that Wilhelm Keitel (pictured) was nicknamed "Lakatiel" (lackey+Keitel) because of his craven willingness to function as Adolf Hitler's mouth-piece?~ R.T.G 00:22, 29 November 2019 (UTC)- Coffeeandcrumbs, I've fixed it in the article. Recommend ALT1 because it does not mention "lackey". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Buidhe (talk • contribs) 01:22, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
I have been unable to gain access to the source to verify ALT1. K.e.coffman, can you please quote here the passage in Nazi Trials that confirms this claim.--- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 18:50, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
Recent GA. No apparent policy issues or plagiarism. Hook ALT1 is cited inline and interesting to broad audience. Image is freely licensed and all good for Main Page. QPQ is done. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 15:43, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
