Kovalenko

Great thanks for your article Victor Kovalenko! I have edited it a little bit to better follow Standard wikipedia format and added a few references. It is now proudly presented in the article space! You can check the history of the changes to the article on its history page.

I am thinking of a few ways to improve the article that maybe you can help with:

Photographs! You say, Kovalenko made quite a few photographs and he would like to donate some photos with a "free" copyright license. The best way to upload photos will be "Commons" - the project that stores images used for all Wikipedia projects, including e.g. Ukrainian, Russian or say German wiki. To upload photographs there go to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UploadWizard and follow the steps. If you uploading the photo yourself but the copyright belongs to Kovalenko, he should contact Wikipedia OTRS team by email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org and confirm that he agrees with releasing the photo. Meanwhile paste tag {{OTRS pending}} on the photos to indicate that you are playing by the rules. Alternatively Kovalenko could upload his photos himself and avoid all the bureaucracy.
References! Wikipedia is written by anonymous people so every fact should be supported by publicly available references to Reliable sources so everybody can verify them. Check WP:V policy. The lack of references was the reason the original draft of the article was rejected. I have added a few references, so the article would certainly stay but quite a number of facts mentioned are still not supported. Please find references for them or consider deletion.
Links! Currently we have links to bronze-winning Ukrainian Olympic champions and two gold winning Australians but state that Kovalenko coached nine champions. Surely we can mention all of them

I think if we can fix those problem the article can qualify for WP:DYK status as one of the most interesting articles in a the recent few days Alex Bakharev (talk) 21:53, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
