This article is looking good, only a few minor things
Please run the article through Tony1's redundancy exercise using the control + f feature when going through. Once these issues are addressed i will promote to GA. M3tal H3ad 03:52, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
Wow, only listed for one day (two hours?) and already on hold. I think this meets the GA criteria, but it would be nice for this to be the best GA possible and closer to A quality. I noticed though, that Vladislav Gorodetsky, who was regarded as the Gaudí of Kiev.[2] is stated twice, once in the second sentence of the lead and a second time in the == Architecture == section. This is then followed with a quote making the same comparison. I would recommend omitting this statement the second time and finding something else to say to begin this section, perhaps expanding on this building's art nouveau (or gothic imo) qualities. Best of luck dima, DVD+ R/W 21:04, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
Another comment, I am slightly confused by the use of "chimaera" and "chimera", two different spellings with two different meanings. Chimaera is used in the title and also elsewhere, when I am pretty sure Chimera (mythology) or better Chimera_(disambiguation)#In_art_and_architecture is what is intended. Some discussion of gargoyles would also be very useful in explaining these sculptures. DVD+ R/W 21:13, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
Sorry to add bits here as well but trying not to clutter the FAC page - these are to make the article more comprehensive:
Is there any further info on the legends -did his daughter really commit suicide or is that just a story - "slightly mad" is a bit vague - any elaboration? Some details on the firms that went bankrupt etc. in legend no. 3 would be great. cheers, Casliber ( talk · contribs) 11:42, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
I have a one minor nitpick: the image description is slightly redundant, it currently reads:
The redundant parts are: 'a major Art Nouveau building, in the historic Pechersk neighborhood.' as these two items have both been mentioned in the lead of the article. To make the image description non-redundant, i think it should read as follows:
It repeats no information which couldnt be gathered from the lead, and is therefore non-redundant. Thank you. Twenty Years 06:43, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
Sorry! I hadn't realized the information was not considered redundant. I've deleted my changes. Johnor 09:48, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
In most respects this is a good article, but it is obvious that the main writer was not a native English speaker, as there were several examples of poorly chosen English words. I have tried to fix some of these, but it is hard to do so with confidence when there is room for doubt about a basic fact, ie whether or not this building was originally intended solely for residential use. The writer has done a good job, but if articles can get featured without basic English usage issues being resolved, the FA process is inadequate. Wimstead 10:35, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
This moniker is a bit troubling to me for two reasons:
I don't like unilaterally changing content in FAs, but I think this should probably be taken out unless a compelling argument can be presented. It could be replaced with something much more substantive. - Che Nuevara 17:32, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
Because this is the English Wikipedia, English-language sources should be given whenever possible, and should always be used in preference to other language sources of equal calibre. However, do give references in other languages where appropriate.
... and the beautifully mad Art Nouveau creations of Vladislav Gorodetsky, Ukraine’s Gaudi. His masterpiece is the House with Chimeras, a turn-of-the-century governmental building crowned with fantastical sea beasts.
I notice that mention is made of the ornamentation being constructed of cement. Shouldn't concrete be the correct word? Ozdaren 22:49, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
Why in the notes sections it is used this [[# note-Horodetskyi|Malakov]]? It doesn't link to anywhere. OboeCrack ( talk) 14:43, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
This building was used in his “Chimera” address on the state of the Russo-Ukraine war, 1st April, 2022. Worth a mention? 2601:647:5800:3AB0:8150:6399:9F1D:5F12 ( talk) 04:21, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
