[edit] For someone that was supposed to be in a work camp

She sure had enough time to draw some pretty pictures and write a lot... did she do any work?

[edit] Her ethnicity

What was her ethnicity? She must have been Russian or Ukrainian. Right? --Candide, or Optimism 19:56, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

  • She was from a Russian nobility, but grew up in Bessarabia abakharev 22:20, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Her drawings

I inserted back her drawings. If there are any rules about a maximal proportion of figures and text in WP (are they?), I would increase the text rather than delete these pictures.Biophys 06:49, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Pictures are available via the commons link. The only policy about the images is WP:NOT wikipedia is not an image hosting site, articles consisted solely of the gallery of images are not allowed. The proportion is aesthetic mostly. Thus, I would not interfere with the insertion and deletion of the gallery. Both ways are fine with me. When I negotiated placing those images with the Kersnovky Foundation they have asked for the maximal visibility Alex Bakharev 07:10, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
Thank you. According to WP:NOT, we should not include "Mere collections of photographs or media files with no text to go with the articles. If you are interested in presenting a picture, please provide an encyclopedic context..." WP:NOT#Wikipedia_is_not_a_mirror_or_a_repository_of_links.2C_images.2C_or_media_files. So, it would be a good idea to add more encyclopedic context here. A question. How many of her drawings are available in electronic form? Only those in Wikimedia? Where to a look at her other pictures?Biophys 14:14, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
I think that meaning of many drawings is not clear for an average reader who does not know details of the life in Gulag. Each drawing should be supplemented by an explanation.Biophys 04:28, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
