Article Evaluation Yuri Dolgorukiy

The article title Yuri Dologorukiy is about Yuri I Vladimirovich the grand prince of Kiev. The article is written well and from a neutral standpoint. There don't seem to be any biases from either the author or from the sources. There are only 2 sources listed though as of now and that does make it seem a bit incomplete. The source links do work though. One of the references is very current and is from this year. There seems to be a discrepancy in the talk portion of the article when it comes the English spelling of Dolgorukiy. No one seems to know what the correct English spelling is although that probably isn't a big deal since in that part of the world they use a very different alphabet from us. I worked in Ukraine for two years and the English speaking people I knew had Americanized spellings of their names and they would all very at least a little bit.

Added to Vascily I article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasily_I_of_Moscow

While still a youth, Vasily, who was the eldest son of Grand Prince Dmitry Donskoy (ruled Moscow 1359–89), travelled to the Tatar khan Tokhtamysh (1383) to obtain the Khan’s patent for his father to rule the Russian lands as the grand prince of Vladimir. Diplomatically overcoming the challenge of the prince of Tver, who also sought the patent, Vasily succeeded in his mission. But he was subsequently kept at Tokhtamysh’s court as a hostage until 1386 when, taking advantage of Tokhtamysh’s conflict with his suzerain Timur Lenk (Tamerlane), he escaped and returned to Moscow.
