Talk:Odesa Numismatics Museum

message: "Odessa Numismatics Museum" is not a museum at all.  I went to the Grechiskaya location and realized very quickly that this was a commerical shop claiming to be a museum.  The "musuem" consists of a tiny walkway and two counters full of coins:
Look at these two photos and see for yourself, this is a picture of the entire Grechiskaya location:

thread_title: Not a museum at all

message: It became one of  many visiting cards of our city. Owing to this Museum  many thousand tourists from  different countries of the World visited our city annually. In the beginning of XIX century in Odessa there’re the first Russian scientists of numismatists. Today their traditions are continued by Museum’s researchers. Interest to history of Ukraine and its spiritual heritage grows all over the World from year to year. That’s why the Odessa Numismatics Museum is very  popular among foreign tourists and visitors of Odessa city.

thread_title: The Odessa Numismatics Museum is very important scientific and cultural organization of Odessa

message: This collection is very spacious and includes many unique and rare ancient coins. Certainly it’s one of the best collection of ancient and modern coins and banknotes of Ukraine. Museum’s research practice continues almost bicentennial traditions of renowned Odessa researchers-numismatists and contributes its share to the scientific investigation of the Northern Black Sea Coast history. That’s why Odessa Numismtics Museum became the scientific centre widely known all over the World.

thread_title: The collection of the Odessa Numismatics Museum represents all periods of the history of coinage and money circulation that have taken place on the territory of  modern Ukraine

message: As this article has no references section providing citations to reliable, published sources that verify its factual accuracy, it quick-fails the Good Article nominations process. For more on what constitutes GA-class work, please read the Good Article criteria. The large number of external links in the body of the article also gives this article a distinctly advert-like feel when reading. Please remember that external links should really only be present in a separate section from the article's encyclopedic content. If you feel this decision is in error, you may seek a reassessment.

thread_title: Failed Good Article nomination

message: When you come to renominate, please follow the instructions at WP:GAN;  nominate in one category only, and place your nomination at the bottom of that category, not the top.
:GA review (see here for criteria)
#It is reasonably well written.

#Overall: 
#:Pass/Fail: </div>
Although references have been added, they really need to be cited in-line, per WP:CITE.  I would suggest you look through the various sections of WP:MOS too.  There are various problems in this article, including WP:DASH.  Forcing the TOC where it is doesn't look right at all.  There are various spelling mistakes throughout the article.  I would suggest a copyedit from someone who speaks English as a native language too.  Contractions like "there're" are unusual, for example, and frowned upon in a Wikipedia article.  You should check your apostrophe usage too (eg "Odessa'" and "1970'").
Galleries are also, generally, frowned upon, hence the fail on 6b.  
All in all, it seems there is potential here, but at present it doesn't meet the GA criteria – it may be worthwhile familiarising yourself with those too, before renominating. Carre 16:10, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: All suggestions are considered and remarks corrected

message: Any article that has cleanup banners such as those at the top of the article automatically fails any GA nomination per the the quick-fail criteria, and does not merit an in-depth review. Please remedy any such banners and remove them before renominating the article. Conducting a thorough rereading of the quick-fail and GA criteria would also be advisable.

Peter G. Loboda is the Founder and Director of the Odessa Numismatics Museum and not a good secondary scource for references! Teapotgeorge (talk) 11:18, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: References

message: Because it is causing a Checkwiki error #73: "ISBN-13 with wrong checksum", I removed the ISBN from the citation
V.P.Alexeev, P.G.Loboda "Electrum Coins of the Greek World Found in Nikonion, Berezan and Olbia". Ancient Black Sea Area. Issue IX, 2011, pp. 22–29. Odessa : "Fridman A.S.", p. 520. Texts in Russian. .
This citation has other problems:
* If the source is a journal, provide the ISSN of the journal using  rather than an ISBN;
* If the title of the journal is Ukrainian, do not translate it.  I could not find a journal entitled Ancient Black Sea Area on the Internet;
* Titles of journals should be italicized.  See Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Titles#Italics

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The spelling should follow what the museum calls itself, as it has an English Web page. As of today it is "Odessa Numismatics Museum" and "The Odessa Museum of Numismatics". References to the  could follow the Wikipedia spelling of Odesa. The spelling could be briefly discussed in the article. Use of an English name different from the national name is normal and in most cases nobody objects (Vienna Philharmonic instead of Wiener Philharmoniker).
