Lede
 * Per Manual of Style/Lead section, the lede of this article adequately defines the topic of the Bolokhoveni ethnic group, establishes the necessary context for the group, and explains why the group is notable and historically relevant.
 * In the first sentence of the lede, I suggest a rewording to the effect of: "were a 13th-century that resided primarily in..."
 * Thank you. The sentence was modified. Borsoka (talk) 13:30, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
 * The sack of Kiev by the Mongols should be wiki-linked in the lede, as it is in the History section.
 * Thank you. WL was added. Borsoka (talk) 13:30, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
 * The lede is well-written, consists of content that is adequately sourced and verifiable, and I have no other comments or questions for this section.

Etymology
 * To provide the relevance of the Chronicle's naming of the medieval Bolokhovo settlement, it may be necessary to explain that the chronicle is considered an important source of historical data for southern Rus'.
 * Thank you. Info added. Pleas let me know if further info is necessary. Borsoka (talk) 13:30, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
 * The "land of Bolokhoveni" map graphic is licensed Creative Commons and is therefore free for use in this article.
 * This section is well-written, consists of content that is adequately sourced and verifiable, and I have no other comments or questions for this section.

Geography
 * The Bolokhoveni's land map is licensed CC BY-SA 3.0 and is therefore free for use in this article. I suggest that this image be relocated to this section under the section heading in order to space the images throughout the article.
 * Sorry, I do not understand your above suggestion. Would you clarify it for me? Thank you. Borsoka (talk) 13:30, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
 * , I just thought it would be more aesthetically pleasing to move the one of the maps down the Geography section from Etymology. Let me know if this works for you. -- Caponer (talk) 14:54, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
