Idris Bazorkin


I've listed this article for peer review because I'm planning to nominate it for FA. I'm mostly concerned about the grammar and the possible close paraphrasing. Thanks in advance. Best regards, WikiEditor123… 12:13, 17 February 2024 (UTC).

 * Added link to Ingush in first summary sentence, might not be obvious to readers. Lacanic (talk) 19:03, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

This has been open for over two months without comments. Are you still looking for comments, or can this be closed and nominated for FAC? Z1720 (talk) 17:23, 2 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello @Z1720! I was looking forward to see comments, but unfortunately nobody commented anything... I'm really not sure if I should nominate it for FAC as I'm sure it would be wiser to first receive peer review. Would you happen to have any comments regarding the article?

I suggest that you nominate the article for WP:GA first. This will allow you to get comments on the article in a lower-stakes environment. I always nominate articles for GA first before going to FA. Some comments after a quick skim:
 * I think the lede is too long for the length of the article. I would suggest cutting this down to three paragraphs.
 * I would add a new level 3 heading to divide the "Early life" section because it is quite long.
 * Add some more images. Any images of his work? Maybe the cover of a playbill for the plays? Other images of the person?
 * Legacy is too short. Suggest expanding this with commentary about his work. Any statues or things named after him?
 * Some of the sources listed are not used as inline citations. I suggest that these are used, or removed.
 * This is a personal preference, but since you have so many sources, you can split the sources into two columns. I did this with the "Works cited" section of William Lyon Mackenzie.
 * Per WP:ALLCAPS, the titles of sources should be in sentence case. Some of the titles are all caps in Russian and should be corrected.
 * "Further reading" section should either be used as a source or removed.

I hope this helps. Z1720 (talk) 02:03, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Hello @Z1720. You recommended adding more images but I'm not sure if I can if most, if not all, images of Idris Bazorkin are either copyrighted or not under clear copyright. Can I add more non-free images to the article under fair use? WikiEditor123… 19:38, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, non-fair use images can be added to the article so long as the correct licencing is used for the image. Also, take a look in Commons to see if any free-use images have been uploaded there. Z1720 (talk) 01:37, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
