Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Previous peer review

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because it was not promoted at its first FA nomination. Its length, choppiness and pictures were the major issues. I hope this time it receives a comprehensive peer review to ensure it passes the next nomination. Regards. Tomcat (7) 12:09, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

Image check (though not really "quick")

1. Infobox image (do cyrillic letters work in wiki-links?) - OK (great image)
2. Signature - OK
3. File:Wki_Dostoyevsky_Street_2_Moscow_Mariinsky_Hospital.jpg - not sure, Russia has no "Wiki-usable" Freedom of Panorama and the statue is dated 1918 and is an integral part of the image. Any information about the statue's creator available?
   1. Yes, it was made by Sergey Merkurov, but in 1919. It was later moved in 1936 near to that hospital.--Tomcat (7) 11:51, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
4. File:Image_dost_01.jpg - OK, author unknown, but creation date is old enough for PD-old-100
5. File:Trutovsky_004.jpg - OK
6. File:B_pokrovsky_kazn_1949.jpg - OK, author date of death unknown, but creation date is old enough for PD-old-100 (needs category check on Commons, just as info)
   1. Checked categories and removed some.--Tomcat (7) 11:51, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
7. File:Dostoyevsky_in_prison.jpg - OK, author unknown, but creation date is old enough for PD-old-100
8. File:Valikhanov.jpg - OK, author date of death unknown, but creation date is old enough for PD-old-100
9. File:Dostoevskij_1863.jpg - not OK, please check if you can find either source or author information (the image has to have a source, all images do), (needs category check on Commons aswell, just as info)
   1. Added source, checked cats.--Tomcat (7) 11:51, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
10. File:Annagrigdost.jpg - OK, tweaked license tags
11. File:Casino_Bad_Homburg_1849.jpg - OK, author date of death unknown, but creation date is old enough for PD-old-100
12. "Fyodor_Mikahailovich_Dostoyevsky_Study_in_St_Petersburg.jpg" - OK, tweaked license tags
13. File:Dostoevsky_house.jpg - OK, own work
14. File:Fyodor_Mikahailovich_Dostoyevsky_1876.jpg - OK, tweaked license tags
15. File:Fjodor_Michailowitsch_Dostojewski.jpg - OK, tweaked license tags and summary
16. "Dostoyevsky_funeral.jpg" - probably OK, but could use some cleanup. Source link is dead (and couldn't find the image on the new .EU-site), date of death of "V. Porfiryev" available?
    1. Replaced reference, almost nothing about the drawer is known, only that he made this picture. I could not even find his forename.--Tomcat (7) 11:51, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
17. File:Dostoyevsky_on_his_Bier,_Kramskoy.jpg - OK, but source link is dead.
    1. Replaced reference.--Tomcat (7) 11:51, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Point 3 needs more information and research. Point 9 needs atleast some source or author info to be acceptable. Point 16 is somewhat borderline OK. Some others could use minor cleanup or additional details or new links (see comments). "Unknown authors" would be nice to know, but are not strictly necessary, when the image is old enough.

Thanks for your comprehensive check! --Tomcat (7) 11:51, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Image check (part 2)

• point 3 - the artist died in 1952 (assuming Wiki is correct), so this work fails the PD-70 limit. If you want to keep it with the statue included, i suggest to ask for clarification at Commons:Commons:Village pump/Copyright (Russian copyright beyond the most basic rules isn't really my strong point admittedly). Maybe there is some other Russian copyright nuance to cover this.

• I asked there and am awaiting for a response.--Tomcat (7) 19:02, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

• point 9 - improved (i realize, old data can be hard to come by).
• point 16 - not sure, we are using the right tag here, but should be PD.
• 3 more images at bottom of article (oops, missed those) - all OK.
• "Personal life" and "Beliefs" is pretty long text, would be nice to have 1-2 appropriate images here to break it up a bit.

• I will dig for some PD files. I already have plans which to use :).--Tomcat (7) 19:02, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

• not image-related, but Bercken (2011) in "Religion" sources is actually not used in the article. GermanJoe (talk) 12:32, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

• I realized that, but it is a good source either. May find some information from it. Thanks again for the responses. Regards.--Tomcat (7) 19:02, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
