7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

Images

• The lead image - where does it say that it is CC-BY-SA 4.0? The site itself seems to be under CC-BY-NC-SA.
• Second image is PD
• Third image is free

Prose

Early life and career

• He attended teachers training college in Bad Saulgau "teachers training college" seems wrong
• Is castle agreements supposed to link to Castle agreements?
• He was appoint as a government councillor not correct

Will continue in a bit Z E T A³ 18:34, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

May you please elaborate on the first and third point? How are they wrong? TheBritinator (talk) 10:42, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"He attended a teachers' training college" and "He was appointed as a government councillor" would be grammatically correct here Z E T A³ 15:10, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I see it now, I'm so used to reading it a particular way of becomes easy to miss. TheBritinator (talk) 15:42, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Prime Minster of Liechtenstein

• Emil Beck links to a fencing coach born in 1935, probably not the link you want here
• The scandal came to light in June 1928, the FBP demanded that Schädler's government immediately resigned and the Landtag be dismissed. - some errors in this sentence, could be fixed as When the scandal came to light in June 1928, the FBP demanded that Schädler's government immediately resign and the Landtag be dismissed.

Later life

• section looks good

Personal life and death

• section looks good

Spot check

• Sources 16 and 22 are duplicated
• He is buried in Vaduz. - unsourced
• 1m - supports In 1946, he was sentenced to 6 months in prison for illegal espionage. The VU considered the conviction unfair, but ultimately he did not serve the sentence due to health reasons.
• Schädler was the second prime minister of Liechtenstein, serving from 6 June 1922 to 24 June 1928. - the first source here supports it, but it isn't mentioned in the second source.
• Following the 1926 elections, there was a government crisis when the VP refused to elect Ludwig Marxer as a government councillor. It directly led to early elections a few months later, and ended due to Marxer's resignation. - mostly supported, but I don't see the "early elections" part in the source (the months-long government crisis was ultimately resolved by Marxer's resignation.)
• Following a referendum in September 1925, the Lawena Power Plant resumed construction and was completed in 1927. - supported
• The subsequent 1928 general election resulted in a majority for the FBP and he was succeeded by Josef Hoop as prime minister. - supported
• In 1931, an inditement was placed against Schädler in the Liechtenstein state court for violating supervisory and official duties in the administration of the national bank. - supported
• Schädler married Olga Real (29 July 1889 – 26 July 1974), the daughter of Adolf Real, on 16 December 1918 and they had 2 children together. He was from Triesenberg, but lived in Vaduz from 1914.
• Schädler, who suffered from a heart condition, died unexpectedly on 19 June 1961 due to complications from a surgery he had underwent a few weeks prior. He was 77 years old. - seems supported?
• Above issues as well as the image one needs to be addressed. Z E T A³ 15:20, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  For the fourth one it serves to specify when Prince Alfred Roman was placed as acting prime minister following Schädler's resignation, meaning that he was at least formally in office until then. TheBritinator (talk) 16:08, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article was improved to GA on 18 November 2025 and is currently 1,393 words (8,779 characters) in length. It is fully-sourced, neutral and plagiarism free, as verified by the GA review. The hooks are all cited in the article, although I think only ALT0 is interesting (it doesn't surprise me that a politician wrote for a newspaper or that a country might have experienced financial hardship during a prime minister's tenure). QPQ is done. I'm happy to approve ALT0 only; I would also recommend including a link in it to the 1928 Liechtenstein embezzlement scandal. --Grnrchst (talk) 14:39, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
