[edit] Kiev

Being one of the oldest and most historical cities in the World, Kiev at least deserves to be a good article, but i believe it deserves more; to be a FA. Troy667 00:25, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Object
  • No inline citations.
  • Very small number of references.
  • History section needs to be expanded.
  • No section about the Demographics of Kiev.
  • No real emphasis about Kiev being the economic engine of Ukraine so it needs an Economic section.
  • No section about the distinct culture of Kiev so it needs a culture section.

Its a good start but there is major information missing which needs to be filled in and needs inline citations. --Mercenary2k 9:00pm May 19, 2006 Query—Why are trivial chronological items linked, e.g., years and centuries. Please delink unless a date is included. Tony 12:40, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

  1. Please provide WP:CITE information for references/footnotes. See also WP:CITE/ES; templates like {{Cite web}} and {{Cite book}} may be useful here.
  2. Images with fair use tags need fair use rationales - please see WP:FUC. Specifically, Image:Kiev Mikhail Arhangel modern square.jpg need(s) proper fair use rationales.
  3. There may be an applicable WikiProject guideline to follow: see WP:CITY
  4. Per WP:MOSNUM, at Units of measurement, numbers with SI units of measure should have conversions in US customary units and vice versa. These conversions should keep to similar values of precision. For example, "the Moon is 380,000 kilometres (240,000 mi) from Earth". Note that the converted unit of measure uses a standard abbreviation, while the source unit is spelled out in the text.
  5. Per WP:MOSNUM, there should be a no-break space -   between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 18mm, use 18 mm, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 18 mm.
  6. There are a few sections that are too short and that should be either expanded or merged. For example, "Local government" is/are a bit short.
  7. Per WP:CONTEXT and WP:MOSDATE, years without full dates generally should not be linked. For example, January 2006 should not be linked, instead change it to January 2006. Also, please note WP:BTW and WP:CONTEXT, which state that years with full dates should be linked. For example, February 28, 2006, should be come February 28, 2006.
  8. Dates should use either 0 or 2 commas, depending upon the subject of the article; American-related articles should use 2 commas, while British-related articles generally used 0 commas. For example, for two commas: In January 15, 2006, this and that happened, while for zero commas, use: In January 15, 2006 this and that happened.
  9. Additionally, after a year, for consistency, a comma should either be used throughout the entire article or not used at all.
  10. Please alphabetize the categories and interlanguage links.
  11. Please reorder/rename the last few sections to follow guidelines at WP:GTL.

  • Conditional Support, I think shall that criticisement be adressed, the article will stand full chance of being the FA. --Kuban Cossack 17:23, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Conditional Support, fully agree with Kuban Cossack.AlexPU 13:16, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Object per Mercenary2k and AndyZ, and agree with Kuban Cossack - once the objections are addressed, this should be relisted. The addressing of the objections however will require a major effort. One note: I'd like to see modern, English academic references used, especially for history section.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 17:42, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
