Withdrawn - I'd like to withdraw this nomination and save people time. Above it says only the FA Director should archive, so I didn't want to just remove the section... — RevRagnarok Talk Contrib 12:22, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment The second half of the article seems to be more a list than an article. In addition, references/footnotes should be included in the article not in the articles that Sword article wikilinks. It would be hard to verified the information and not "scholarly" way to reference materials. As of the August 24th version of this article, I wouldn't trust the information in it because there are no references. --65.139.18.98 02:55, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Object. I expected there to be information about the earliest kind of sword, which was made from copper. Bronze swords were actually made later on. --Sbluen 08:43, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Object. The article needs a copyedit. One of the first sentences I noticed was "Symbol for bravery for fighting a juste cause, Lady Justice sword symbolize bravery of witnesses to stay neutral even against own kin." Rhion 12:42, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Object. No in-line citations. Too may lists, make some of those paragraphs. The lead is supposed to summarize the whole article, a brief review of the history would fit well in the lead for example. --enano (Talk) 14:50, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Object A random collection of a little history and a bunch of lists and bullets. Thanatosimii 03:35, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
