Merkel-Raute
- ... that the Merkel-Raute (pictured) has been described as "probably one of the most recognisable hand gestures in the world"?

PendingBattle of Raqqa (2013) - Comment: It would be great if this was posted on 22 September, the day of the German federal election. As the gesture is used by both Merkel's supporters and opponents, I don't think that this could be considered campaigning. What are your thoughts? Currently, there is no image yet (I raised the matter here and hope to get one in time); there would be two possibilities: One could either crop her portrait to only feature her hands, or take a photo of the giant billboard currently displayed in central Berlin. I would favor the latter, but I am aware that this choice could indeed be seen as an attempt of campaigning (because it is a supporters' poster). On the other hand, all that is shown are her hands. Again, what do you think?

Article is long and new enough. Hook is quite interesting, short enough, and supported by in-line citation. The formatting of the hook was off (no bold on subject article and (pictured) noted without picture); I have fixed those issues. QPQ still needs to be completed.

- Please read the above comment. There is no image yet, but I will add one once it's available.--FoxyOrange (talk) 16:52, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
- I've just heard that cropped images are also acceptable to accompany the hook, so my problem with finding a suitable picture seems to have dissolved. Once again, I think it would be somewhat cool to have this posted on 22 September (preferably also in the correct time zone); and I do not think that this is campaigning, because the article and hook are neutral. The gesture is used as a symbol for Merkel's politics, in a positive way by her supporters and in a negative by her opponents. The image itself won't push any point of view.--FoxyOrange (talk) 20:22, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry for that, I'd been too hasty with the upload. Now, the licencing should be correct.--FoxyOrange (talk) 06:59, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
- Dear User:Cbl62 or whoever else is interested in this review, may I kindly asked what the current status is? Please note that 22 September is less than a week away (but of course, that date is only a suggestion). Best regards--FoxyOrange (talk) 06:08, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
