I recently expanded this article and would like to know what improvements are needed to bring this article to GA status (or even FA). Regards.

Please read the bold red text in the "Nomination procedure" box. Yomangani ^talk 00:02, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, forgot about this one. Would it be ok if I will close the other as you made some good comments there? Regards.--Kürbis (✔) 09:45, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I closed the other review. Regards.--Kürbis (✔) 12:15, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try and have a look at it later today or tomorrow if I get time. I would knock the DYK people's heads together if they refuse it though. The expansion rule was never meant to be interpreted in such a constricting fashion. Yomangani ^talk 17:18, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yomangani's comments

I've copy edited some of it, but you'd benefit from having another Russian speaker check it over to make sure the translations match what the sources say.

Thanks. I know who could do that :)

The plot section is too detailed - it could be half that length without losing much

Agree. Will try to remove some details.

"Suddenly, all of the rumors about Varvara marrying a drunk become meaningless in the face of money." - first we've heard of these rumours
"the scrupulous Bykov" - should this be "the unscrupulous Bykov"?

Yes, changed

" Dostoyevsky may have chosen the epistolary genre to include critical observations but no commentaries" - what does that mean? A couple of sentences later we have "The numerous different voices, that is Devushkin's quotations from stories, his commentaries"

Clarified

"whole Russia is talking about my Poor Folk" - that is quoted but if it is translated from the Russian a better translation would be "the whole of Russia is talking about my Poor Folk"

Yes, changed

"He later visited Dostoyevsky in the Pesky district through the Fatherland Notes journalist Andrei Kraevsky" - do you mean Kraevsky arranged the meeting?

Clarified

The translations are mentioned in the lead but never again. Yomangani ^talk 22:52, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but I can't find any page which lists all translations. I could include some but I feel it would be against WP:OR--Kürbis (✔) 11:04, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Completed?

Is this peer review on going, or has it been completed? I was looking fulfill the GA nomination request, but I will postpone that until this has been completed. Just let me know (on my talk page, if you like) --Tea with toast (話) 17:08, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
