House with Chimaeras

{self-nom) I have started this article as a stub and have gradually expanded it to Good article status (December 23, 2006). After going through the FA criteria, I feel that the article is Featured article worthy. Hopefully, it is not too short and will proceed to Featured status. I hope you will agree with me too. —dima /talk/ 16:03, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nominate and Support as nom. —dima /talk/ 16:03, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support - very well done; the entry is on an engaging subject, sourced and properly formatted. It would make a solid contribution to the FA list.--Riurik^(discuss) 04:36, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support. The article is well documented and nicely illustrated. I checked online refs to be sure that the article is consistent with them, and indeed it is. Nice piece of work. --Novelbank 07:53, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support ~~Oppose~~ ~~for now - some significant~~ prose issues addressed very well: cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 05:43, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

~~:Since 2005 it was used as a.. - tense needs to be "has been".~~

The building is commonly dubbed as "The House With Chimaeras" because it... - sounds repetitive - try "The building derives its popular name from..."

Ummm...what are the cite needed tags there for. Looks like someone's vandalised the article

the polyclinic (clinic) №1 for - is this an official title - if so needs capitalising. If not, then needs to be rewritten in prose not "No. 1"

On the last floor, the apartment had one less room, but to make up for this, the apartment had a dining room with a connected terrace, providing a magnificent view of the city. - erm, this sentence has 5 clauses - it needs a rewrite. "The apartment on the last (top?) floor had one less room; to make up for this there was a connecting terrace which provided a...."

Also, some paragraphs are small and should be merged.
It is an interesting read but requires a copyedit by a native english speaker. The grammar is awkward in places of which the above are the most notable examples. It lacks comprehensiveness. Please add some background on the architect rather than juts describing him as the Gaudi of Ukraine. Are there other buildings? Is this the best? etc. These can be addressed in the time and I will support if this happens. cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 06:31, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

:I have fixed the grammatical concerns you raised above. I will also try to do a copyedit, but as I'm not a native English speaker, it will be a bit harder to do. I have also added some background information on the architect and minor info on the Art Nouveau style.. Thanks for the suggestions, —dima /talk/ 08:15, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Do you want me to have a run-through/copyedit? I'd be happy to help. cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 08:59, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. That'd help me a lot.. Thanks for offering, —dima /talk/ 09:11, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note I will be leaving for two weeks (and I don't know how the internet connection will be), so I may not be able to respond and correct problems with the article.. —dima /talk/ 14:49, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try to keep an eye out. cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 03:21, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
