  • Reviewing.
  • Issue 1) A bit too small, DYK Check tool says it is 1,476 characters. @Edwardx: can you expand?
  • Issue 2) Daily Mail has just been declared unreliable at RSN since your DYK nom [1]. @Edwardx: could you find another source for the fact using this source?
  • Thank you Brianhe. I have added some more, and it is now 2244 characters (had to move about a different something about a different Andrey Goncharenko to the talkpage, which was why it fell below 1500). Unfortunately, the only thing else I can find about his wife is from another Daily Mail article. We do at least have mentions of it (and a photo) in DM articles over some period of time, 2014 and 2017. The only other sources that mention his wife Marina appear to be based on the DM. Alas, I cannot read Russian, so I'm a bit limited in looking for more. However, all we're saying is that her name is Marina and that she's a minor figure in the art world - this is a common enough sort of role for an oligarch's wife, and it is difficlt to see why the DM would bother to fabricate or distort this!

Could you review Talk:Andrey Goncharenko#Sources to replace Daily Mail and see if any of those work? I really think we should try hard to get DM out of there. The last one I listed might be sufficient if you read Russian, or translate it using this link [2]. - Brianhe (talk) 22:23, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
I have removed the whole section. Marina or Anna? We just don't know and it isn't important. Philafrenzy (talk) 22:49, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
Thank you, Philafrenzy. Agreed - best if we just drop that small section in its entirety, rather than spend any more time trying to puzzle out something of minor importance. Problem solved. Edwardx (talk) 23:14, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

Invalid status "yes" - use one of "y", "?", "maybe", "no" or "again"

Final issue resolved, this looks good to go. - Brianhe (talk) 01:28, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
