Talk:Nestor Lakoba

message: I think that this photo is wrong, because he doesn't look like the real Nestor Lakova. You could check it in these photographs:

This photograph could be of other Lakoba's brother, but not Nestor.

message: I found the last sentence of the "Legacy" section confusing: "The papers were first brought to Batumi, Georgia. Starting in the 1980s they were slowly returned to Abkhazia, with many eventually given to Princeton and Stanford Universities."  It just seems weird that they would be returned to Abkhazia and then given to two American universities. Do we have any idea why? AmericanLemming (talk) 00:11, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe it was because the political situation in Abkhazia, especially in the late 1980s-early 1990s, meant it was dangerous to keep sensitive documents there (and in fact the Abkhazian archives were destroyed in 1992). I will check to see if there is an explicit reason for why the documents were sent to the US, but I can say that Princeton and Stanford are leading universities for Russian studies, with Stanford in particular having a large collection of archival material from Russia and the Soviet Union housed in its library.

message: * Hello Kaiser matias, great job with this article getting FA even though that's two years ago. Anyway I see there are some MOS issues here.
:* Per MOS:OSNS we should use both Old and New Styles in Russian-related articles before 14 February 1918. Thus he was born in Russia on 1 May 1893 thus it's unclear which calendar this is.
:* His born isn't included in the body per MOS:LEAD the most important events should be included in the lead.
:* "working with them from the autumn of 1911 and officially joining them in September 1912" Per MOS:SEASONS we should avoid using seasons in articles this can be confusing for people in the southern hemisphere or people who only use wet and dry seasons around the equator. This also applies to "In the autumn of 1918".
:* "The ethnic Abkhaz only constituted roughly 25–30% of the population during the 1920s and 1930s" Per MOS:PERCENT we should use the word percent (or per cent in British English) instead of the symbol.
* That's everything. Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 15:45, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
