• I've skimmed it and it's generally good; some stuff to work on, which I'll list here tomorrow after I read through more carefully. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 04:42, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
  • I'm passing this, and although I think there is still some potential for expansion, the article covers all the key points, etc. and it's pretty well written. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 20:37, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Prose

• Per Talk:Renewable_energy_in_Russia#Definition_of_.22underdeveloped.22, please clarify "underdeveloped". E.g., what parts are underdeveloped, what sectors are fine.

• I have added a part to the lead section that excludes hydroelectric energy from the sources of renewable energy that are underdeveloped.

• Could you clarify what standards are used to determine developedness? What requirements has Russia not yet met, whose standards are these (some international energy organization?)

• The figures that I added to the lead section should help show the developedness status of Russia's renewable energy. I mainly mean "56th in the world for renewable energy production when hydropower is not taken into account" and "179 TWh of Russia's energy production comes from renewable energy sources, out of a total renewable energy economically feasible potential of 1823 TWh".

• ✓ OK, that works.

• Per Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(dates_and_numbers)#Non-breaking_spaces, when dealing with quantities such as "600,000 kWh", use a non-breaking space; the code would be 600,000 kWh, etc.

 Done

• The lede could use another sentence or two, but this is not a big deal.

 Done

• What might be more helpful is expanding the article a bit in general; each section now only has a two or fewer short-ish paragraphs; try to make that two or three paragraphs per section. There are many helpful sources out there: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9].

 Working Sorry for the delay, but I hope to have this done before the weekend.

• I also suggest putting a bit more in on Russia's renewable energy policies and international cooperation (some sources above deal with Russia in the context of Europe, etc.; also see this news article).

 Done

• ✓ No dab links.

References

• Please make sure all the refs have enough information: authors, publishers, dates, works, etc.

• For the information that is missing, it is left out because I couldn't find it in the sources that I used. What should I do in this case? This also applies for the date style.

• Use a consistent date style throughout.

 Done

• Use two columns for the {{reflist}}.

• "The currently active Kislaya Guba Tidal Power Station is the largest tidal power facility in Russia and has the fourth largest capacity (1.7 MW) among the world's tidal power plants." {{cn}}

 Done

• "mostly in Siberia and the Far East. At the end of 2005, the generating capacity from hydroelectric sources in Russia was 45,700 MW, and an additional 5,648 MW was under construction. Russia has much potential for using its hydro resources, with a theoretical potential of about 2,295 TWh/yr, with 852 TWh being economically feasible." Also {{cn}}

 Done

• ✓ No dead links.
• The last two refs need to be in a consistent format and have additional info (publisher, etc.) added.

 Done

Images

• ✓ Everything is freely licensed.
• Please add alt text, see this tool for a check.

 Done

• The map has no caption. Also, I'm not sure "refer to caption" is OK alt text, but I am not sure on this. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 05:01, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

 Done Caption fixed (I accidentally made it not show when I was adding the alt text). Also, I added "refer to caption" based on what I read at Wikipedia:Alt#Captions_and_nearby_text.

• OK, everything here looks good. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 21:51, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
• Move the wind turbine image to the wind section.Smallman12q (talk) 20:02, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
