[edit]

A good bit of the prose is too colloquial for an encyclopedia. •Jim62sch• 09:39, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the article is mostly excellent, and that the accusation "reads like an essay" is an odd one (after all, most essays are too scholarly in tone!), but the current article is overly colloquial or vague in places: "engaged in handicrafts and flour-grinding business (that's where the flourmills on the Yauza come from)"; "In the second half of the 17th century, they opened one of the first manufactories in Moscow" (who opened?); "Most of the neighborhood's territory was now being called Lefortovo" (when? now, or in the past?). --Quuxplusone 02:27, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
