GA Assessment

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose quality:

   Several spelling errors are present

   B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:

   Article meets MoS criteria

2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. References to sources:

   There are references to sources laid out in an appropriate section

   B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

   Citations are appropriate and are to reliable sources

   C. No original research:

   Article reflects the sources and adds nothing new

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. Major aspects:

   I did feel that the topic of the article was conveyed well, even with spelling errors.

   B. Focused:

   Article remains on topic

4. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

   Article appears neutral - following the sources closely, and not loading the article with undue praise or criticism

5. Is it stable?

   No edit wars, etc:

   Article is stable

6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

   B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

   There is only one picture relating very broadly to the article.

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   1. The article needs to be expanded and corrected for it to be considered for GA. While this article is a good start, and it is very important, it is not GA material. However, I am upgrading this article to B status. Also, more pictures relating to the topic need to be added.

Reassessment Potential

After speaking with the creator and principal editor of this article, I have decided to place this article's GA nomination on hold. Many of the mistakes I cited were not actual mistakes but information I was not familiar with. After the creator/editor of this page has made the appropriate changes, I will reassess this article.

Thanks!

• I added two images.
• I havn't found a method to link a translated version of the Russian text, but you could probably translate the text at Google translate.
• All the Russian refs have a English translation of the title.
• Question, those this mean that there are no serious grammer mistakes with the article?

I really like all the revisions you have made to the article. There are no serious grammar errors, so the article looks ready for a reassessment. Ryderofpelham123 (talk) 17:34, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Dear TIAYN, as a major contributor to the article, you don't have the right to assess this article. This article is effectively B class and in no way a GA. I am reassessing it as a B class R.Sivanesh ✆ 17:38, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

I didn't pass the article, the reviewer did..... He just forgot to sign his/her own statement. --TIAYN (talk) 23:21, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
