Article for Deletion?[edit]

I see nothing in this article that merits to be published in wikipedia. Politis (talk) 08:43, 18 April 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Speak for yourself. I just read his article "Putinology" in the latest Guardian (paper edition) and found that excellent so I wanted to know who this guy was. Especially, I wanted to know if he was a relative of Marsha Gessen, about whom I could not make a positive comment. So I know, for what that's worth.

=Recent Edits[edit]

Hi, it's Keith Gessen. I just made some changes to the page as it was a couple of years out of date and a little confusing (for example there was a photo of me and Ludmilla Petrushevskaya, but no reference to the translation of her book in the body of the article; there was a link in "external references" to Dwight Garner's review of my last book, but no mention of the book in the article; etc.). I have, I hope, only updated/adjusted facts and not touched or removed anything evaluative. As for whether this page ought to be on Wikipedia at all, that, of course, is a question for someone else. Thanks to anyone reading this for all your work on these things; it's an impressive (and much-used) resource. -Keith 24.90.234.37 (talk) 18:54, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bibliography[edit]

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference. This is a work in progress; feel free to continue.
