Kges1901 has written a number of Good Articles on the Soviet Union. This looks like another of high standard and I look forward to starting a review of it shortly. simongraham (talk) 16:15, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

[edit]
  • The article is notable as evidenced by coverage in multiple sources.
  • The article is of reasonable length, with 1,490 words of readable prose.
  • The lead is a reasonable relative length at 155 words.
  • 99.4% of authorship is by Kges1901.
  • It is currently assessed as a B class article.
  • There is no evidence of edit wars.
  • It is consistent with the relevant Manuals of Style.
  • Earwig gives a 0.0% chance of copyright violation. This is extremely impressive.
  • The text seems clear and neutral.
  • Combine the first sentence in the lead with the remainder to create a single paragraph as per MOS:PARAGRAPH
  • Done
  • Consider adding a comma at the end of the subclause "In mid-1943" in the lead. Similarly after the subclauses "In November", " In early August", "In this capacity", "On the night of 1–2 November", and "In January 1948". Consider commas around the subclause "in April 1946". There may be other instances that I have missed.
  • Done
  • Amend to "where he served as a platoon and company commander".
  • Done
  • Done
  • Add the translated title for Doluda.
  • Done
  • I see there are entries for Maykov in Soloviev's publications Commanders of Red Army divisions 1941-1945[[1]] and Red Army Colonels. 1935-1945[[2]] (both in Russian). I suggest adding one of these to the sources.
  • Those entries are copies of previously published information.
  • I will accept the off-line sources WP:AGF. Spotcheck of the online sources confirm they concern the subject.
  • Suggest including the exact page numbers where possible.
  • The infobox image seems appropriate and relevant but is of poor quality. Is there a better one available?
  • Unfortunately not
  • The image has an appropriate PD tag.

@Kges1901: Excellent work. Please take a look at my comments above and ping me when you would like me to take another look. simongraham (talk) 09:20, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
