GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose):   b (MoS):  
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references):   b (citations to reliable sources):   c (OR):  
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects):   b (focused):  
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:  
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:  
  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):   b (appropriate use with suitable captions):  
    Both images in the article lack a date, location, and work for original publication. I don't read Russian, so this cannot be verified from the external links provided on the image pages. This needs to be fixed (or the images removed) for the article to pass GA. Parsecboy (talk) 20:20, 3 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
    I found the ultimate source of most, if not all, of the Borodino-class images on Commons and they're from a magazine published in 2001. Unfortunately none of them have any data about copyright or even prior publication. I guess I'll have to reload it on to en.wiki and claim fair use.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 21:36, 3 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
    It's pretty annoying that the academic world apparently doesn't give a damn about copyright, but we still have to. Fair use would definitely be valid for these images. Parsecboy (talk) 22:12, 3 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
    Done.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 04:03, 16 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
    For them to satisfy fair use, they have to be smaller resolution. Can you shrink them and re-upload? Parsecboy (talk) 10:41, 16 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
    Done.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 20:54, 16 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
    Looks good now. Parsecboy (talk) 21:27, 16 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:  

This is an excellent article, the only thing holding it up is the image situation. Parsecboy (talk) 20:20, 3 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
