GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   There are a few things that need clarification. 1) The intro can be a bit confusing; it says they "lived in Scandinavia", but then it goes on to talk about "Byzantine records" and "Rus' law-codes", without any further explanation. This is explained further down, but should get a mention also here. 2) Varangians is wikilinked, but there should be a brief explanation of who they were in the text. 3) Their "Status in Eastern Europe" seems a bit out of place before it's even been discussed who they were.

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   Otherwise a good article, that I enjoyed reading and found very interesting. Good luck! Lampman (talk) 20:51, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay. Everything looks in order now, and the article has improved even further through expansions. Good work! Lampman (talk) 20:49, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
