Alexandra Kollontai
With your recent edits at the article on Alexandra Kollontai you have placed in a footnote so long a text concerning Kollontai's father, that it could be an article in itself ( and maybe not a simple stub). Considering that it should be placed in the notes (and not in the footnotes) and that such detailed an account seems rather inappropriate in an article on somebody else (even if it is his daughter), I have removed your note, but I'll paste the text below in case you should be interested in trying to edit a specific new article (I don't know, however, whether Mikhail Alekseevich Domontovich has relevance enough to deserve a specific encyclopedia entry).
