Botik of Peter the Great
This peer review discussion has been closed. I've listed this article for peer review because I would like to take it to FAC.

 * Well done! The overall article includes an interesting and summarizing lead, which comes across the reader as very engaging and professionally written. The article is relevant and focused on the topic at hand for the full length while maintaining WP:NPOV. Style guidelines are followed correctly and images appear to be properly sourced. Adding a few more sources to the reference section could be beneficial, but the ones that are currently listed appear to be reliable. Overall, I believe that this article meets the WP:FAC. Good luck with this nomination for featured article! Be sure to let me know when you officially nominate this article - I would love to do support you! Tayisiya (talk) 21:57, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Comments by H1nkles

Just a few thoughts I noticed:


 * The wording of this sentence in the lead is a little awkward: "...patriotism during the outbreak of the Second World War led to a renewal of the importance of Peter the Great and the botik along with him." Specifically, "...the importance of Peter the Great and the botik along with him."  Perhaps saying the importance of Peter the Great and everything associated with him, including the botik.  Not sure it just seems a bit awkwardly worded and could be snagged at FAC.
 * "Wearing naval uniform, Empress Elizabeth escorted the botik." The connection of this sentence to the context is missing for me.  I'm not very familiar with Russian history so perhaps that's the problem but I don't see how this sentence relates to the marriage of Catherine the Great.  I understand Elizabeth was the mother of Catherine but if this is in reference to the actual wedding ceremony perhaps a bit more here would help clarify that.
 * Any information as to what the preservationists found? The article ends somewhat abruptly, any conclusions to research?

These are the only things I found in the article - all a bit nit picky. It looks to be in good shape. The external links check out. I didn't do a dab check, so if that hasn't been done I suggest doing that before nominating. Otherwise good luck! H1nkles (talk) citius altius fortius 16:52, 9 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Comments from Nikkimaria
 * Russia does not have freedom of panorama, so the licensing of images of 3D Russian works (including buildings) should reflect this
 * Ranges should use endashes
 * Any information about the pattern visible on the boat? Do we know its significance?
 * Possible to provide translations of Russian titles? Nikkimaria (talk) 14:24, 16 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I know this has been archived, but I just wanted to say thank you all for your comments. I probably won't address them until school is done.  I still plan on bringing this to FAC, but I'm hoping to find more information about its history under the Soviet Union and under the Russian Federation
