GA Sweeps: On hold

As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing Sweeps to determine if the article should remain a Good article. In reviewing the article, I have found there are several issues that needs to be addressed.

Needs citations:

1. "Recently, a decision was made to close off the descent for 2 years, in order to change the nearby sewer systems." Also, when was recently?
2. The "History", "Mikhail Bulgakov's house", "The One Street Museum", and "Monuments" sections are unsourced.
3. "The house is currently being converted into a hotel." Current as of when?
4. "In 1963, Rastrelli's original plans for the building were found in Vienna, Austria. This made it possible to reconstruct the original images on the building. The plan of restoration was carried out in the 1970s, overlooked by the main architect-restorer, V. Korneyeva."

   • Done.

Other issues:

1. "The street begins on the summit of the Starokyivska Hora (Old Kiev mountain) near the delicate late-baroque St Andrew's Church, which gave the street its current name, and descends to the Podil district were it ends at the Kontraktova Square." What is meant by "delicate" here?
2. The list at the beginning of the attractions section should be converted to prose.
3. "Local legend has it that touching the beetle (seen in higher resolutions of photo on right) while making a wish will see it granted." Where is the image at?

   • Can't find a reliable source for this one (only [http://www.den.lv/index.php?s=c6598ff976e4fd76e765a9f5c18f3707&showtopic=14684&st=15&start=15 a forum). Removed.

4. "And the last of the main monuments is the one dedicated to the famous Ukrainian poet and artist, Taras Shevchenko, located to the right of the monument to Yaroslav the Wise." Sentences shouldn't begin with "and".
5. Several dabs need to be fixed.

   • Done.

I will leave the article on hold for seven days, but if progress is being made and an extension is needed, one may be given. If no progress is made, the article may be delisted, which can then later be renominated at WP:GAN. I'll contact all of the main contributors and related WikiProjects so the workload can be shared. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 03:50, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for listing what improve on. The article was added as a GA quite a bit ago, so expectations have changed. Will of course fix these issues and improve on it overall in the coming days. Thanks again, ddima.talk 04:11, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

I struck through the issues that have been addressed. I will leave the article on hold for another week for the remaining issues to be addressed. Please address them so the article does not need to be delisted. I'll be back in a week to check the status of the article. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 22:20, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks alot Nehrams. I'll finish citations on the article very soon. Thanks, ddima.talk 04:19, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

I've added a bit more references. Am looking to cite the Bulgakov Museum and One Street Museum sections now. 06:19, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Good job addressing more of the issues. I'll leave the article on hold for one more week. That should be sufficient for dealing with the remaining issue. If you finish earlier, let me know. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 01:08, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

GA Sweeps: Kept

Good work addressing all of the issues. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good Article. Continue to improve the article making sure all new information is properly sourced and neutral. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have updated the article history to reflect this review. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 05:29, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I'll definitely keep updating the article. Thanks for reviewing and helping out in the process. Cheers, ddima.talk 00:00, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
