Kiev
Being one of the oldest and most historical cities in the World, Kiev at least deserves to be a good article, but i believe it deserves more; to be a FA. Troy667 00:25, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Its a good start but there is major information missing which needs to be filled in and needs inline citations. --Mercenary2k 9:00pm May 19, 2006 Query—Why are trivial chronological items linked, e.g., years and centuries. Please delink unless a date is included. Tony 12:40, 19 May 2006 (UTC) {{#if:{{{1|}}}|*The article has a few or too many inline external links, which hamper the readibility of the article. Please convert them to footnotes, preferably in the cite.php format recommended by WP:WIAFA.|*This article needs footnotes, preferably in the cite.php format recommended by WP:WIAFA. Simply, enclose inline citations, with WP:CITE or WP:CITE/ES information, with. At the bottom of the article, in a section named “References” or “Footnotes”, add between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 18mm, use 18 mm, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 18&amp;nbsp;mm.
 * No inline citations.
 * Very small number of references.
 * History section needs to be expanded.
 * No section about the Demographics of Kiev.
 * No real emphasis about Kiev being the economic engine of Ukraine so it needs an Economic section.
 * No section about the distinct culture of Kiev so it needs a culture section.
 * Object; no inline citations, and other lackings mentioned by User:Mercenary2k. --Spangineer[es] (háblame)  16:05, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

 * There are a few sections that are too short and that should be either expanded or merged. {{#if:"Local government"|For example, "Local government"}}{{#if:{{{2|}}}|, {{{2}}}}}{{#if:{{{3|}}}|, {{{3}}}}}{{#if:{{{4|}}}|, {{{4}}}}}{{#if:{{{5|}}}|, {{{5}}}}}{{#if:{{{6|}}}|, and {{{6}}}}} {{#if:"Local government"|is/are a bit short.}}
 * Per WP:CONTEXT and WP:MOSDATE, years without full dates generally should not be linked. For example, January 2006  should not be linked, instead change it to January 2006. Also, please note WP:BTW and WP:CONTEXT, which state that years with full dates should be linked. For example, February 28, 2006,  should be come February 28, 2006. 
 * Dates should use either 0 or 2 commas, depending upon the subject of the article; American-related articles should use 2 commas, while British-related articles generally used 0 commas. For example, for two commas: In January 15, 2006, this and that happened, while for zero commas, use: In January 15 2006 this and that happened. 
 * Additionally, after a year, for consistency, a comma should either be used throughout the entire article or not used at all.
 * Please alphabetize the categories and interlanguage links.
 * Please reorder/rename the last few sections to follow guidelines at WP:GTL. {{{1|}}}

 * Conditional Support, I think shall that criticisement be adressed, the article will stand full chance of being the FA. --Kuban Cossack [[Image:Flag of the Russian Empire (black-yellow-white).svg|25px|]] 17:23, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Conditional Support, fully agree with Kuban Cossack.AlexPU 13:16, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Object per Mercenary2k and AndyZ, and agree with Kuban Cossack - once the objections are addressed, this should be relisted. The addressing of the objections however will require a major effort. One note: I'd like to see modern, English academic references used, especially for history section.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 17:42, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
