Hi, regarding this edit. I saw the reference and I saw the claim. I tried to verify it somewhere else (surely, a 14-volume history book would be noted somewhere else), but I could not find anything. It peaked my interest because a 14-volume history book would certainly be discussed in Lithuanian sources, but I found only maybe 3 references to Sholkovich and his other works in Lithuanian press and books. It could very well be that my Russian is mostly limited to Google Translate, but lack of a second independent source collaborating a big claim is a big red flag for me. Not even title of the book is mentioned. Can you find something other then the cited encyclopedia article? Renata (talk) 16:21, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No, I cannot, and yes, I begin to see now you are quite right. This 'history' is not even mentioned in this very article's list of his works, which is indeed very short. Besides, the previous sentence (начал усердно работать над историей Северо-Западного края = started to work diligently upon the history of…) sounds vague ('started', maybe, but what about 'finished'?). Whatever he 'diligently' worked upon, apparently remained unpublished. So yes, I revert it. -- Evermore2 (talk) 20:08, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
