Kyiv

I think the article may be of an interest to a wide audience of Wikipedians. At some point, it may become a featured article candidate. Up to now, a lot of effort has been put into improving the article. Presently, it needs a thorough review by native speakers of English - to brush up the style and enhance the flow. Comments on the layout and composition are also more than welcome. Sashazlv 05:04, 11 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent article, particularly the history section, but there is a lot more that can be added. Take a look at pages like New York City, London, and Tokyo, and you'll see the additional sections that can be added. (E.g. demographics, culture, education, transportation, &c.) I do think that the history could be spun off into its own "History of Kyiv" main article page, with a brief summary on the Kyiv page. Thanks. — RJH 15:29, 11 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Will do. Thanks. Sashazlv 01:44, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Don't compare it to London, NY and Tokyo. Compare it with other featured articles such as Mumbai, Sarajevo, Johannesburg and Chennai [soon to be a FA]. Match these articles section to section; in detail, length and presentation. =Nichalp «Talk»= 20:16, August 12, 2005 (UTC)

London, NY, and Tokyo are perfectly good examples, thank you very much. :P Did you actually read the article, or were you just critiquing the review? — RJH 16:55, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately those three cities haven't gone through the FAC process which is really exacting. If you want a featured article, you'd have to compare with examples which have already passed the test. At least I go by that rule. =Nichalp «Talk»= 08:43, August 14, 2005 (UTC)

I'll try to use strong points of all the articles. Thanks. Sashazlv 21:46, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

A good start, but agree with RJH and Nichlolas - this needs much expantion to be up to our city-FA standards. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 17:45, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
