Talk:Anastas Mikoyan

message: I've put the Good Article nomination for this article on hold, for the following reasons:
#Done Many of the quotations are incorrectly formatted; see Manual of Style for guidance.
#Done The 2nd paragraph of the Party Apparatchik section is awkwardly worded, including the list and the "To which Mikoyan replied" phrasing. Also, what does Apparatchik mean? The word is not present anywhere in the article besides the section heading. Here you go for the meaning of apparatchik   Fedayee 03:10, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:Image-Mikoyan Fidel.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Image-Mikoyan Fidel.png

message: Some of it smells too much of Soviet historiography. Quote "he and twenty-six other commissars were captured and put in prison" disagrees with the 26 Baku Commissars article which states that Mikoyan was not one of those imprisoned, and was actually involved in the freeing of the others. Nor were there "26" imprisoned - there were more than that, and that number refers to those of them later executed in Krasnovodsk. Something should be said of the "mystery" of hissurvival, i.e. the later accusations that he had survived because he had betrayed his comrades, or that he had survived because he was just not considerred important enough to be executed, or that his name was by sheer chance left off the list.

thread_title: Problems with this article

message: His grandson is Stas Namin, well-known Soviet rock'n'roll star from the band "Flowers", he was always against the Commie bullshit and wanted to play rock'n'roll, he was the one who booked a two-days Festival of Peace in 1989 when bands like Motley Crue, Cinderella, Bon Jovi, Skid Row, Scorpions and Ozzy Osbourne came to Moscow to rock.
I think it should be stated that he's the grandson of Mikoyan. 89.139.40.172 (talk) 12:41, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

message: This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. The article history has been updated to reflect this review.
For further improvement it might be a good idea going a bit beyond pure narrative biography, and tell something about the subject's philosophy and character. Some of this shines through in the article, but it should be given more attention, perhaps in the lead section. It might also be worth taking into consideration Meowy's comments above, though I'm not expert enough on the subject to comment on these matters. Lampman (talk) 14:38, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

The RfC is at Template talk:Infobox person#RfC: Religion infobox entries for individuals that have no religion.
