Assessment[edit]

This is a great start to an article, but there are a few things I would like to see before it is assessed above stub.

It is still quite short... now, that is understandable, considering the young age of the subject. She isn't old enough to have much of a background or biography, but anything that you could expand on would be nice.
Wikification... While the article has a fair amount of useful information, it seems to be broken up and just added randomly. I would like to see the information a little better organized, with headers (Lead paragraph, Biography, Chess record, References), etc., and the external links removed from the body of the text.
References... while having references listed is an excellent start, the next step is to cite them inline. This allows the reader to know exactly where you got each bit of information.

I would be more than happy to re-assess the article for you once these minor issues have been rectified. I think you have at least a good solid start-class article, if not a low C. Feel free to leave a message for me here (on my watchlist now), or on my own talk page, if you need help or have any further questions... - Adolphus79 (talk) 14:15, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I thank you for remarks to article. I am not so skilled in a writing of articles. Has made editing taking into account your wishes. Time I will hear your opinion on necessity of the further editing. Lead paragraph has not understood as to do.--OldenChess (talk) 13:24, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

clarification needed[edit]

Consider [clarification needed] tag: in the sentence "where she won first place in the general offset^{[clarification needed]}" a "general offset" means that competion was among boys and girls together not only girls as in other cases. In Russian it's "общий зачёт" but I don't know the specific English term. --Koryakov Yuri (talk) 11:05, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's open tournament.--217.170.114.135 (talk) 19:36, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Article images[edit]

I removed the "At the Tula Kremlin" photo due to concern about excessive photos in this discussion at WT:CHESS. But I restored the World Youth Champ. 2010 photo, and the photo from the 2009 Moscow Open, as they seem relevant to their topics, and there is nothing wrong with them.

Quite fine. However I will probably nominate this article for deletion anyways, since I have waited a week, but no one on WikiProject Chess has mentioned any reasons why she meets Wikipedia's notability standards. ChessPlayerLev (talk) 19:31, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
