His son was evacuated that night, maybe?
[edit]I was just reading an old article from the Los Angeles Times, dated 16 Jun 1986. It's an AP article about two boys at summer camp in Artek. One of the boys is named Misha Telyatnikov, from Pripyat. He says his father works at the plant and tells of how his mother woke him at 3:00 a.m. and said they were going to Kiev. He said it was Saturday, April 26, 1986. This is interesting since an evacuation was not yet ordered. I have access to the article via Newspapers.com (image 6). I do not know this man and so I thought someone knowledgeable about him might want to include the information. Let me know if I can help. MagnoliaSouth (talk) 06:39, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
On the New Version of the This Article
[edit]Over the course of the past summer, I've been working on an expanded and revised version of this article in my userspace at User:CuriousQuail/subpage. I have now taken this draft out of my userspace and posted it into the article itself. My primary goals were to increase the amount of biographical information available to the reader here, and to correct any incorrect information that might have existed in the original. To a large extent, I believe that this has been accomplished by the new version of the article.
Because of this, I feel confident that this article can now be reclassified for the better. This article does not seem to meet WikiProject Biography's criteria for "Start" articles anymore. I think it can be said to be a "B-class" article, based on the criteria associated with this status:
1.The article is suitably referenced, with inline citations.
The article references various relevant sources and utilizes inline citations.
2.The article reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain obvious omissions or inaccuracies.
- The article now describes the full course of Telyatnikov's life, and lacks only for further detail.
3.The article has a defined structure.
- The article is structured in a chronological manner, as per the usual pattern for biographical articles.
4.The article is reasonably well-written.
- The article is written in academic language, which offers an objective and analytical assessment of the subject.
5.The article contains supporting materials where appropriate.
- The illustrative images from the article's original form have been retained, and are both supportive of the information that has been added to the article, as is the added information supportive of the included illustrations.
6.The article presents its content in an appropriately understandable way.
- The article refers to places and processes unfamiliar to many english-language readers, but linked articles help to offer definition to particular organizations and functions of the Soviet system, helping to render the content is appropriately understandable to the reader.
Because I believe that these criteria, as explained above, are met by this article, I am reclassifying this article from a "Start" to a "B-class" article. Criticism of a constructive nature is welcome, and I expect further improvement to this article will be made in the future in order to eventually usher it into the hallowed ranks of the good articles!
