Poor Folk

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I recently expanded this article and would like to know what improvements are needed to bring this article to GA status (or even FA). Regards.

• Oh, forgot about this one. Would it be ok if I will close the other as you made some good comments there? Regards.--Kürbis (✔) 09:45, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

• I closed the other review. Regards.--Kürbis (✔) 12:15, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

I'll try and have a look at it later today or tomorrow if I get time. I would knock the DYK people's heads together if they refuse it though. The expansion rule was never meant to be interpreted in such a constricting fashion. Yomangani^talk 17:18, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

Yomangani's comments

• I've copy edited some of it, but you'd benefit from having another Russian speaker check it over to make sure the translations match what the sources say.

• Thanks. I know who could do that :)

• The plot section is too detailed - it could be half that length without losing much

• Agree. Will try to remove some details.

• "Suddenly, all of the rumors about Varvara marrying a drunk become meaningless in the face of money." - first we've heard of these rumours
• "the scrupulous Bykov" - should this be "the unscrupulous Bykov"?

• Yes, changed

• " Dostoyevsky may have chosen the epistolary genre to include critical observations but no commentaries" - what does that mean? A couple of sentences later we have "The numerous different voices, that is Devushkin's quotations from stories, his commentaries"

• Clarified

• "whole Russia is talking about my Poor Folk" - that is quoted but if it is translated from the Russian a better translation would be "the whole of Russia is talking about my Poor Folk"

• Yes, changed

• "He later visited Dostoyevsky in the Pesky district through the Fatherland Notes journalist Andrei Kraevsky" - do you mean Kraevsky arranged the meeting?

• Clarified

• The translations are mentioned in the lead but never again. Yomangani^talk 22:52, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

• Yes, but I can't find any page which lists all translations. I could include some but I feel it would be against WP:OR--Kürbis (✔) 11:04, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

Completed?

Is this peer review on going, or has it been completed? I was looking fulfill the GA nomination request, but I will postpone that until this has been completed. Just let me know (on my talk page, if you like) --Tea with toast (話) 17:08, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
