Very concise and encycolpedic in nature. Obeattie

OPPOSE: Opening section is far too long and there are vry few pictures throughout the article. -Husnock 10:30, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - references, only four for the entire artcile on a subject so intertwined withworld affairs for 40 years. also not one inline cite. Lead almost constitutes an article by its self, think theres alot more information not included. Daughter articles, organisation structure and history 1 article, external(west) activities another article, internal activities another. This one of those topics that you should have enough information to "go to town with". Have you read the book "Spy catcher" by peter wright? published late 80's theres a lot of information on KGB's agent within Uk government. There not even a mention of "Hollywood" perceptions and type castings. Gnangarra 12:00, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Lead section is too long, there is a deleted image, no inline citations. Please refer to WP:PR first. — Indon (reply) — 16:14, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: As per Husnock. Also, does this article need to be so long? I am a firm believer in sticking to brief articles, unless there is a specific reason that it will not fit. This article could be divided into sub sections, and made to flow more easily.-Hairchrm 03:07, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
