Article is new, long enough and neutral. It cites sources inline. "Earwig's Copyvio Detector " does not report any ext similarities since all the sources are in foreign language. References #1, #2, #3, #5, #6 and #11 can not be accessed. Hooks are well-formatted. Their length is within limit. I find the original and ALt3 hook interesting. I AGF for their accuracy. Image is © -free. QPQ is missing. Will approve after the QPQ issue is addressed. CeeGee 12:24, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review! QPQ done. I just checked the refs. for this article and all work fine, including the archived links. Let me know if anything else needs to be sorted out. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 16:27, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

QPQ done. Good to go with AGF. CeeGee 16:54, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Sctherbinin"?

The current version has, as its lead sentence, Yuri Leonidovich Shcherbinin (Russian: Ю́рий Леони́дович Щерби́нин, ...

Щ, both for its Russian pronunciation of /ɕː/ and it's Ukrainian pronunciation /ʃtʃ/. It looks like it'd be pronounced /skθ/, with a sound in neither language. Are we sure this isn't a typo of some sort? scht would be less weird, although still neither a common Russian nor Ukrainian romanization and still not rendering either of those sounds particularly well. If not a typo, is there a reference that uses that spelling? oatco (talk) 13:32, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply

]

It confused me too, but according to his Wikimedia Commons user page, he wanted use of his images credited with this idiosyncratic spelling. — CurryTime7-24 (talk) 15:22, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
