Great article, well sourced, recently expanded. I find ALT0 more interesting than ALT1, but the picture selected fits ALT1. Either keep ALT0 and use Eisenstein's portrait, or find a better hook that pertains to Eisenstein's architecture. Morganfitzp (talk) 19:29, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for the review! I've replaced the picture with the portrait of Eisenstein and struck the alternative hook, I agree myself that the first one is more intriguing. Best, Yakikaki (talk) 14:42, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

His architecture is quite stunning. Morganfitzp (talk) 15:17, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

"fought on the opposing side to his son Sergei ..." surely? Johnbod (talk) 00:19, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

Perhaps ALT2: ... that architect Mikhail Eisenstein (pictured) and his son Sergei fought on opposite sides of the Russian Civil War? Source: Rush 2003, p. 19 Morganfitzp (talk) 00:43, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

Indeed, or, since the son is way better known:

ALT3: ... that architect Mikhail Eisenstein (pictured) and his film-director son Sergei fought on opposite sides of the Russian Civil War? - still short. Johnbod (talk) 00:51, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

ALT3 all the way. Morganfitzp (talk) 04:15, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

Thanks guys, English is not my first language and prepositions are the hardest to get right. Thanks for spotting and correcting it! Yakikaki (talk) 06:53, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

Different English speakers would choose different prepositions for that one! Morganfitzp (talk) 13:04, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

Oh, it's even worse than I imagined! :-) Yakikaki (talk) 16:09, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
