This is a comprehensive list of representatives of Russia (and its predecessor states [Russian Empire, USSR]) and gives a good overview of the presence of Russian representatives in the Austrian capital. After going thru peer review, I believe that this list is now at FL standard. Russavia Dialogue 23:09, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Looks good to me, has a strong lead and is comprehensive. Is FL material if you ask me. Tiptoety talk 23:25, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Per WP:LISTNAME, this should probably be called "List of ambassadors of Russia to Austria" or something similar. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:53, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Support, having peer reviewed the article. As I said then, the only problem is lack of English references, but what you have is great and they'd be impossible to find. About the title, I'd go with Russian Ambassador to Austria, which is how all the US article-lists are. Reywas92Talk 01:53, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- "Russian–Austrian contacts" Why not link to Austria–Russia relations, a much higher-value link?
- "Since Peter the Great's reign, the ambassadors to Vienna are typically senior government officials and experienced Russian diplomats" "are"-->have been
- "he served for
a total of18 years" - "The street where his ambassadorial villa was located, today bears his name"-->The street where his ambassadorial villa was located is named after him
- "and
alsocommissioned Beethoven to compose - "scientist and diplomat" Surely we don't need to link scientist? See WP:OVERLINK on linking common terms.
- "Austro–Hungarian monarchy"-->Austro-Hungarian monarchy since "Austro-" lacks lexical independence, we use a hyphen (picky, I know).
- More overlinking of common geographical locations: United States, United Kingdom, France
- Can you make the tables sortable? I'd also appreciate it if the dates columns were centered. Dabomb87 (talk) 15:51, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- FYI, the nominator has made the fixes you specified above.—Chris! ct 02:18, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Any reason why the sortability wasn't implemented? Dabomb87 (talk) 21:34, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Sortability is not a big enough reason to block an otherwise good list from promotion, but I would prefer if it were implemented sometime (note:the list has been promoted). Dabomb87 (talk) 03:11, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- It'd be great to kill off the few remaining red links, but all in all this is one well-formed and comprehensive list with a strong lead. Definitely an FL material. Support.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 00:48, June 27, 2009 (UTC)
