Talk:The Queen of Spades (story)

message: General
1.	Are ALL of the sources used in the article reliable? Identify any unreliable sources and explain why you consider them unreliable. Yes, however, there is only a bare minimum of sources (only two). Additionally, there are parts of the article that have no sources, particularly the “Inspiration” section, so we have no way of finding or evaluating a source for this section.
2.	Is the topic sufficiently covered? What specific gaps do you find in the coverage?
The coverage only covers some basic background info on the work, its history, and affiliated works, in addition to an accurate plot summary and a section on the work’s inspiration (this section, however, has no sources). 
3.	Is the topic objectively (fairly) covered according to the Wikipedia standards? Be specific in identifying passages where, in your view, objectivity is not sustained. The background information and plot summary are presented in an objective light. However, the inspiration section contains one sentence that appears to be an individual’s interpretation: “Pushkin would also have depicted his own feelings for countess Dolly de Ficquelmont through Hermann's love for Lise.” A good article should not contain something worded so uncertainly. 
4.	Is the article well organized/structured? The existing sections are important to have: background info, plot summary, and inspiration (though the Inspiration section is lacking and should be improved significantly). It would also help to have a character description section (particularly because one user has requested character info on the article’s Talk page). It might also help, because of the plethora of adaptations or affiliated works, to add a separate section for “Affiliated Works and Adaptations” instead of including all of this in the introduction/background section.
5.	Did you find any grammatical or stylistic problems? No. 
6.	Are the accompanying images, if any, relevant to the article’s content? The only accompanying image is a photograph of graffiti taken in 2008 that depicts a scene inspired by the story. However, it does not depict any scene directly from the story. If such a depiction could be found, that might be a better image to include. It might also help to include a picture of a queen of spades simply so the reader has a reference point for the events in the story. In addition to images, there are are four external links: one links to the original Russian text, one links to an English translation, one to a Russian film adaptation on YouTube, and one to the operatic adaptation on YouTube.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jfmour (talk • contribs) 21:56, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
