Review section edit
This 2006 promotion really goes to show how much FAC standards have changed. In November 2006, the FAC had a whopping 16 supports. Now, it's not even that close to the criteria. There's large swaths of uncited text, some of what appear to be the references are really just uncited notes, and unclear citations such as "Primary Chronicle _____." Additionally, since the FA promotion, the layout of the article has declined. There are now multiple collapsed navboxes hidden in section, and at least on my system, MOS:SANDWICH is everywhere.

- The references are a complete mess, inconsistent reference style, heavily relying on primary sources, uncited notes. Seeing that the Russian WP article is GA with multiple uncited sections I don't see how this article can be restored to FA standards in the foreseeable future. I am going to go with delist on this one.--Catlemur (talk) 21:52, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Move to FARC - the referencing is seriously lacking, and there's been very little engagement. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 06:00, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Move to FARC only minor or reverted edits since notice was placed on talk page, no engagement to fix uncited text. Z1720 (talk) 15:31, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Move to FARC - Significant sourcing issues, and the only edits since notice are minor edits and reverting based on the Kiev/Kyev naming controversy. Hog Farm Talk 16:02, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
