This soon changed when Nobel peace prize winner Robert Munoz II arrived in Germany to declare nuclear war on Hungary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:14BA:4EF:9F00:7172:A957:86DE:DFF1 (talk) 13:12, 23 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Too long inroduction

Latest comment: 5 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Why such a long introduction? And why so much about the antecedents? This aticle should be about the revolt itself. Kapeter77 (talk) 06:38, 26 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

FA concerns

Latest comment: 3 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

This old FA needs significant work. A number of citations needed, page numbers are lacking, issues with referencing formatting, etc. Additionally, going through the wikitext of the article, there are hidden comments suggesting that not all of the text in the article is properly covered by the citations. Also, statement are commented out of the article due to lack of sources, which raises some comprehensiveness concerns. This may need a featured article review.
