From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

All of the below are ranked B-Class, which leads me to seriously question the usefulness of the class given the sheer range presented below.

Gerhard Schröder	28,237 bytes	Has own issues with recentism, also not comprehensive and incorporates lists we already have as separate articles.
Helmut Kohl	tagged ref, 26,632 bytes	decent structure, but not filled out into the structure.
Jacques Chirac	59,857 bytes	Solid lead section, acceptable structure other than overexpanded Section 8 on 2002-2007 term. Not a bad article at all, although would need work to reach GA/FA.
François Mitterrand	56,133 bytes	Solid lead section, however structure falls apart in the exact section we want to look at, i.e. the presidency. Overdwells in controversy
Pierre Trudeau	58,599 bytes	Lead section tends to hyperbole, different philosophy re structure in working chronologically from birth to death, keeping events to three longish, non-subdivided sections and focussing on legacy after death. However the legacy sections are poorly or not referenced.
Brian Mulroney	71,766 bytes	Minuscule lead. However, best article by far of the ones reviewed on structure and content, although only 21 references in the key section. Airbus affair overstated (more words than his second term!) Large legacy section near end.
David Lange	20,032 bytes	Actually a decent article, but too short and unstructured for our purposes and a reference deficit.

Reviewed several others which are of no real use (Margaret Thatcher amongst them - despite being a former FA). It's clear to see in its present state John Howard (by far the largest of the articles) is actually one of the worse comparatives of major former leaders.
