Thank you WQUlrich for expanding the article. Accidentally, I wrote it, and I was very careful that all information in the text was supported by reliable sources as required by WP:V. You have dumped a text from the Ukrainian Wikipedia and removed reliable English-language sources which were in the article before you started editing it. As a result, you have transferred here the sources in Ukrainian, most of which are not available online. It is of course quite possible that you verified the text against them and just failed to add references, but more likely you just copied them from the Ukrainian Wikipedia as well. The Ukrainian Wikipedia is one of the projects which is notoriously known for very lenient application of WP:V, and it is quite common that the sources used in their articles do not support information they are intended to or are not reliable by our standards. Thus, the article in your version does not satisfy WP:V. If you would like to edit it further, would you please make sure that you not just dump here some text because it happens to be in the public domain but carefully integrate it to the existing text preserving the sources and making sure the material you add is supported by reliable sources as well (by adding inline citations). Thank you.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:24, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Ymblanter:I would like to restore the gallery, at least, if that's alright. He deserves a longer, more detailed article. Why haven't you done the things you're saying I should do? WQUlrich (talk) 21:30, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Well, because I was not planning to extend the article. t is ok to extand it, but in my opinion it is not ok to replace an existing high quality even if on a shorter side text with a longer but poorer quality text. I am personally not a fan of galleries, and I believe almost all of them violate WP:GALLERY, but I gave up a long time ago since they get added anyway.--Ymblanter (talk) 23:18, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
