1954 transfer of Crimea

  • Nice and interesting article (and highly relevant in current context!). Length, date, hook checks out. The article needs some touch-up on bare URL references and 2 "citation needed" tags. Also, considering the complexity of Russo-Ukrainian relations (Ukraine had been part of pre-Soviet Russia), it would be better to stick to an ALT2: ... that the decree enforcing the 1954 transfer of Crimea from the Russian SFSR to the Ukrainian SSR was only a paragraph long? --Soman (talk) 00:47, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
  • Second opinion. I think both ALTs are fine, but please fix bare URLs and remove stub templates before this is passed. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:52, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
  • Stub templates removed and bare urls expanded. JASpencer (talk) 14:11, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
  • Citation needed tags need to be addressed. Same goes to the weasel words before the nomination can advance. Lajbi Holla @ meCP 18:12, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
  • Citation tags were addressed - mostly by removing assertions - and the weasel words were removed or replaced. IS there anything else that needs to be done? JASpencer (talk) 23:22, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
  • New reviewer needed for ALT2 and earlier hooks; it's unclear whether previous reviewers considered the original hook problematic or not. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:44, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
  • Looks good. ALT 2 would be the best choice if you ask me, but either should work. Original hook isn't problematic in my opinion, but the other two are more hooky. And highly relevant, as pointed out. Length, date, policy checks out. Good work. Yakikaki (talk) 19:26, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
