Stepaniv was a Ukrainian Sich Rifleman
  • ... that postcards were made of Olena Stepaniv (pictured) during the First World War, and in 1991, Lviv named a street after her? Source: "postcards", and "street named for her"
    • Comment: Its a work in progress (since 3/3/22) - she seems to have been the first woman to be a Ukrainian Officer and 1 of three said to be the first women to serve with equality in a 20th century army

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Sufficiently long, sourced, and neutral article. No copyvios detected. Interesting hook with reliable sources. However, I suggest specifying who is the "they" in the second part. TeenAngels1234 (talk) 20:50, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you @TeenAngels1234: I decided Lviv was "they" and I added the missing QPQ. Victuallers (talk) 17:55, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@TeenAngels1234: Can you look again? I see you state NA for picfree when there is an image and AGF for the sourcing when you have noted the "reliable sources". If you are happy then you need to add ((subst:DYKtick)) to say you are but replacing my normal brackets with curly brackets. Victuallers (talk) 10:06, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Victuallers: Yeah. Sorry, by bad. I'm not into DYN, sorry. Hope it works now.TeenAngels1234 (talk) 20:59, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Victuallers and TeenAngels1234: looks like has this article gone some heavy editing since this nomination was finalized; I see a large, unsourced paragraph and a lot of added language I'm not quite comfortable with. Can this be hammered out and re-ticked? theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (she/they) 03:29, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It has been updated, and it looks fine to me now.--TeenAngels1234 (talk) 14:13, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Another Poor Quality Article Hits the Front Page

[edit]

This article is full of strange wording and POV. She was sent to a labor camp simply for being patriotic and not for among other things organizing an anti-Bolshevik revolt?

  • "She was remarkable, but she was not the first woman to fight as Olena noted that she held Polish women soldiers as role models. It is possible to buy fictionalized versions of her life" - What is that supposed to even mean?

Not to mention various unreferenced sections, citations leading to blogs, WWI era newspapers and other sources of questionable validity.--Catlemur (talk) 20:36, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree some of the wording is very strange. I've hacked some of the worst material out but further editing is needed by someone who can read the sources. Espresso Addict (talk) 21:15, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
