Yes, that looks significant, for the 'Political activities' section, which could become 'Political views and activities'. Boud (talk) 14:47, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

COI?

This edit by a Ukrainian IP adding an ORCID link that only works by someone logged in, with the substring Example text is rather suggestive of a self-edit, or an edit by someone closely associated with the sobjuect. Moreover, this IP has so far only edited the Serhiy Kvit article and not edited anything else - most significantly adding to an already extremely long list of "selected" works.

Yeah just from reading the article I was highly suspicious that there was some self-promotion going on. The not very select "select works" section is quite distasteful, and other editors have found more evidence of a conflict of interest. The article also makes no mention of any notable political controversies or incidents involving Dr. Kvit, and there are several whose inclusion would improve the article. For example, in 2012, when as Dean of the university, he shut down the Visual Cultural Research Center at National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy for what critics said were political/ideological reasons.

He was also criticized for putting pressure on historians to renounce academic research debunking or challenging Ukrainian nationalist mythology, a flagrant violation of academic freedom if accurate.

Perhaps a COI tag should be added to the article?

Significant works by Serhiy Kvit

Do we have any evidence for any of Kvit's works being "notable"? There seem to be quite a few pages where a biography page has a list of works that is effectively a cv, and useless to most readers. I suggest - depending on the sources - selecting e.g. 2-4 of the best-known works. Boud (talk) 14:36, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
