 * ... that for the last 186 years the rulers of Russia succeeded each other in the bald – hairy sequence?


 * Symbol possible vote.svg The review is incomplete; please address the issues above. Note that I've dropped the caps in the hook target article.  Schwede 66  01:50, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Thank you for making a review of the Bald – hairy! I've fixed citations and provided more refs (except for the intro, which basically repeats the information from the next cited section, and the last paragraph, which I just translated from Russian Wikipedia and which is factually correct).

 * It's correct that there's not a need for references in the lead, in case the summarise cited content from the body of the article. It is a DYK requirement, however, to have (at least) one reference per paragraph. Please review rule D2. The article is currently an orphan, which does not affect the DYK process, but I suggest you attend to it. Of more concern is that sources two and three appear to be blogs, and if that is correct, they are not regarded as reliable sources. Overall, the article is almost there - not much more to do.

 * I've removed one blog-sourced inline citation, though it is a blog on a widely known Russian news cite. The other source seems to be more of an opinion piece in The Sunday Times than a blog. I've de-orphaned the article and commented the unsourced paragraph. Grey Hood   Talk  17:38, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg The copyright claim made in connection with the photograph seems dubious. If the uploader is merely the photographer (and not the artist who created the dolls), he/she has no ability to release the copyright in the doll design.  The painted dolls are a work of art, and there needs to be a clear copyright release from the artist/creator of the dolls before this image could be used on the Main Page.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg The hook w/o the photo is good to go. I had a look at the photo copyright and agree that it looks somewhat shaky. I note the photo is used with heaps of WP articles (which only means that a lot of articles might lose that photo). Commenting out the unsourced paragraph is a good way to go, but please ensure that it stays this way until it has been on the front page (i.e. please keep an eye on it so that nobody else makes this show again until after its front page appearance).
