Hello! I'll be reviewing this article as part of the ongoing GAN backlog drive. --Vacant0 (talk • contribs) 12:22, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
It is reasonably well written. a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): It is factually accurate and verifiable, as shown by a source spot-check. a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism): It is broad in its coverage. a (major aspects): b (focused): It follows the neutral point of view policy. Fair representation without bias: It is stable. No edit wars, etc.: 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):
Overall: Pass/Fail:

Initial comments

• There is unlikely any copyright violation in the article. Earwig's Copyvio Detector has reported only 5.7% in similarity.
• There are no cleanup banners, such as those listed at WP:QF, in the article.
• The article is stable.
• No previous GA reviews.

General comments

• Prose, spelling, and grammar checking.
  • "...she also organised of the library at the Children's Court of Kharkiv", remove of
  • "She became a member of the library in 1984 and carried out..." → in 1984, carried out
  • "She helped open new libraries within the Kharkiv Governorate and supplying them with books" → Kharkiv Governorate, supplying them
  • "...were acquitted due to lack of evidence..." → due to a lack of
  • "...feminist movement of the city" → in the city
  • "...rights of women with higher education, established the Kharkiv branch..." → higher education and established
  • "Surveillance documents from 1901 describe her as Lutheran, while from 1910 describe her as Catholic" → while those from
  • Lede uses "Children's Court of Kharkiv" while the body calls it Juvenile Court.
• Checking whether the article complies with MOS.
  • Considering that the current infobox is {{Infobox person/Wikidata}}, you should add references to missing parameters on Wikidata in order for them to appear in the infobox on Wikipedia. The alternative is to just change the infobox to {{Infobox person}} and add the parameters manually by yourself.
  • Optional: Add alt texts to the images in the article.
  • While the article meets most of the MOS:LAYOUT criteria, there is one major issue and that is that everything in the article has been put only under one "Biography" section. I'd recommend either splitting this into three sections such as 1) Early life and education, 2) Career, and 3) Personal life.
  • The article is really short (in this case it should have one to two paragraphs because it has only 900 words), so I'd recommend expanding the lede by including content that is important enough to be mentioned in the lede.
    • Change (Ukrainian: Людмила Орестівна Габель, romanized: Lyudmyla Orestivna Habel) (born December 1876, Saint Petersburg, Russian Empire – April 10, 1967, Kharkiv, Ukrainian SSR, Soviet Union) → (Ukrainian: Людмила Орестівна Габель, romanized: Lyudmyla Orestivna Habel; December 1876 – 10 April 1967)
  • The date style is inconsistent, both the DD/MM and MM/DD are used in the article. Please choose one of them.
  • reveal → said, since 1898 → from 1898
• Checking refs, verifiability, and whether there is original research.
  • References with a {{reflist}} is present in the article.
  • One harv error: Mamon, V. E. (2023) is unused in the article. Either add it somewhere in the article, or move it to a new section further down the article (see MOS:LAYOUT) called "Further reading".
  • I've had a look at the authors, and they seem to be reliable. Mamon, V. E. seems to be Viacheslav Mamon, expand their name please. I cannot find information about Shalyganova, A. L. though.
  • Optional: Archive Refs 8 and 9.
  • There is one major issue in this article, there is unsourced content!
    • Lede mentions that she was born in December 1876, while the body does not mention the month, only the year.
    • "In May 1912, Gabel successfully completed her studies at the Faculty of Law of Kharkiv University." is unsourced.
  • Most of the article relies on solely on one reference.
  • Copyvio already checked.
• Checking whether the article is broad in its coverage.
  • The article currently stands at 933 words. While this is not necessarily bad, I feel like the article could still be expanded. Most of the article talks about her life up till 1913. After that, we have only a few sentences of her life (she died in 1967!), so what happened to her during this period?
  • There are only two sentences about her feminist career. There are no mentions of what she did during this part of her life. Some "activist" are mentioned but not Gabel herself.
  • Luckily, the article does stay focused on the topic.
• Checking whether the article is presented from an NPOV standpoint.
  • The article meets the criteria and is written in encyclopedic language.
• Checking whether the article is stable.
  • As noted in the initial comments, the article has been stable.
• Checking images.
  • The sources for the photograph and her signature are listed on Commons, but they cannot be verified.

Final comments

@GnocchiFan: Overall, the article is far from meeting the GA criteria, for now. So, this review will be quick failed per criteria 1. I am particularly quick failing this, not because of the prose (that can be fixed quickly), but because of MOS, references, and coverage. I've addressed everything in the review, so if you plan on re-nominating the article in the future for a GA review, please make sure to address these issues first. --Vacant0 (talk • contribs) 13:35, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
