I have reviewed this article and have expressed concerns about the following issues:
The article passes criteria 1, 4, 5, and 6, it just needs serious work on the citations and expanding coverage on all sections. T Rex | talk 05:50, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
I have passed this article becaue it passes all the good article criteria. To reach featured status it will need to address some of the concerns above as well as need to contain more citations. Congratulations! T Rex | talk 09:37, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
Otto must have had more than one Christian name, which must have been followed by some dynastic moniker - presumably "von" something. He must also have had more titles; indeed, he must have been born with at least one title, perhaps Prince or Duke of Whatever. What was his full name, and what other titles did he hold during his lifetime? Would some knowledgeable person like to edit them in? Tom 129.93.17.202 17:46, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Could someone elaborate what the reasons(or at least the pretext) behind the coup that overthrew him were?The article as it is now doesn't seem to mention them -- 129.107.81.15 ( talk) 19:58, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
This article is part of the GA Sweeps for quality assessment. In reviewing this article I found that it has remained faithful to the GA criteria. See ==GA Reassessment==
I'll undertake a GA reassessment of this article. H1nkles ( talk) 18:51, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
Greek parties in the Othonian era were based on two factors: the political activities of the diplomatic representatives of the Great Powers: Russia, United Kingdom and France and the affiliation of Greek political figures with these diplomats." Two stub paragraphs and these need to be cited.
References are good and GA criteria met, recommend keep as GA. H1nkles ( talk) 19:14, 9 May 2009 (UTC) for my review. Overall the lead is good, you should add a couple of cites to some unsourced paragraphs and look to either expand or combine a couple of stub paragraphs. Otherwise I feel as though the article should be kept as GA. I made some minor corrections to the article as I reviewed it. If you have questions about this review please contact me on my talk page.

I don't really care if it's "Otto" or "Othon", but we need to be consistent. I'm changing it all to Otto... now. StAnselm ( talk) 22:24, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
Unlike it says in the infobox (and elsewhere in the article), Otto did not actually have a successor. George I was the King of the Hellenes, not the King of Greece like Otto. Can this be removed from the infobox, please. I know how to do it myself, of course, but I just want everyone watching this article to agree to this change, that’s all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnanth ( talk • contribs) 16:46, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
The lead refers to "the three Great Powers", without making it clear which they were; and the rest of the article does not make it clear. Likely candidates are Britain, Russia, Germany, the Ottoman Empire, France. Maproom ( talk) 22:06, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
The article says that king Othon had an illegitimate son called Manoli Tanga. I can't find any information about it and the article does't gove the page of the book SARAKATSANI – THE MOST ANCIENT PEOPLE OF EUROPE. May someone give more information about it ? Thanks a lot 31.39.53.205 ( talk) 13:27, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
The picture in the article titled "Statue of Otto in Missolonghi", is actually one of the two statues of Lord Byron in Missolonghi, as can also be seen here, here and here. There's no statue of King Otto in Missolonghi. -- amadeus1eu ( talk) 04:48, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
Actually, the two last paragraphs in the section Parties, Finances and the Church are irrelevant to Otto and are a general and very subjective summary of the religious history of Greece. They should probably be removed.
This is a pity because there is an excellent monograph on Otto´s reign by Petropulos. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Greece666 ( talk • contribs) 19:58, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
This was been tagged as a GAR request by Coffeeandcrumbs ( talk · contribs) in July, but I was moved independently to begin the GAR process after looking at it. The article has severe deficiencies, first and foremost in coverage: most of Otto's reign (the crucial early period of the regency, the years of his own personal rule before 1843, and the events after apart from the Crimean War) are not adequately addressed. There exists a wealth of material on the man and his reign, and on this pivotal period in modern Greek history in general, but the relevant literature is barely included here, let alone consulted. In terms of comprehensiveness it fails both 3a and 3b by a long shot, many of the inline citations lack page numbers, and neutrality also has some issues (see talk page). This is a C-level article at best, and IMO should never have been promoted to GA in the first place. Constantine ✍ 17:18, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
PS, just as an example of how the article could be, please compare to the French version. Constantine ✍ 21:26, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
