Review
Hi there. I'll be happy to take this review. I was just in Russia a few weeks ago and bought a tiny Lenin head statue for my desk. Why not? Anyways, just by looking at the article I can tell it is ripe for promotion. My review will consist of two parts; in part 1, I will post any grammatical suggestions for each section; in part 2, I will look at sources individually to make sure they support the text correctly, as well as looking for close paraphrasing issues and if sources are reliable. Look forward to reading this! Nice job here. MX ( ✉  •  ✎  ) 13:18, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

Commission and construction

 * – change amount to US$190,000, per MOS:CURRENCY. I think the Kč format is correct.

Sale and move to Seattle

 * – unlink Poprad per WP:OVERLINK.


 * – You can remove the "US" now per MOS:CURRENCY since we already know it is US dollars. I believe that is the interpretation of the policy, but if you want to keep the format of US$Amount and then $Amount for every section, I'm OK with that too. I'm also OK if you keep US$Amount for every mention.


 * – "... to vote on the sale"


 * – link Ministry of Culture (Slovakia).


 * – read above for instructions on currency.


 * – "... was found"


 * – Ditto.

Fremont curiosity

 * – Pardon if I'm incorrect. Should it be "cannot"?


 * – "... and warned ..."


 * – This sounds encyclopedic. Maybe change to a better tone, like suggesting that he was viewed as an oppressor by his critics or something like that.

 * No problem. Talk to you then. MX ( ✉  •  ✎  ) 18:18, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Almost done. I think I've addressed all the issues. I did a couple rewrites, dealing with the statue having been "taken down" after 1993 in the lead, and the Lithuanian envoy's quote. I'll go over it a gain with a close eye to see if I missed anything. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 04:46, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
