• B1: Referencing and citations - mostly Russian language, so that doesn't help too much, however they are not lacking in terms of quantity (though more would be welcome), so this criteria passes (but just!). The real problem is given below.  Passes, can be improved
• B2: Coverage and accuracy - can't confirm accuracy since I don't speak Russian. Fails, but could be reassessed by somebody else
• B3: Structure - nothing wrong.  Passes
• B4: Grammar and style - corrected myself, there isn't any obvious mistake.  Passes
• B5: Supporting materials - fails C class mostly because of this (B1 and B2 are borderline, but they aren't that bad: some maps could possibly be included, for example for the narration about the Great Northern war. The rank insignia do not seem particularly relevant, unless they are unique to the regiment. Fails WIP... 69.165.196.103 (talk) 20:31, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

B5: they are indeed unique to the 1st Neva. Although given the prominence of the regiment they are often used as exemplars of the Russian Imperial Army's system of insignia, which may cause confusion. Given that they are unique, I feel that they are sufficiently relevant to be included. Gog the Mild (talk) 23:37, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

B5: That's better. Exemple of further supporting material that could be integrated in the article (besides maps or such) can be seen on

Preobrazhensky Regiment - both of those have things such as regimental flags, uniforms, etc... Adding any of these would, in my opinion, be sufficient to rate this as C-Class. 69.165.196.103 (talk) 02:56, 2 March 2017 (UTC)[reply

Actually such material would probably move the article beyond "B"; it's a matter of opinion.  Passes, can be improved DPdH (talk) 13:40, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

According to the source, the 1st Neva Regiment participated in the Battle of Leipzig during World War 2, but the link takes the reader to the Battle of Leipzig of the Seven Years War. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.100.147.106 (talk) 07:26, 15 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
