• Was just starting to review, but noticed a {{Page numbers needed}} tag. I will not review until that tag disappears. Ping me when you finish.@AirshipJungleman29 and Masato.harada:Earth605 (talk) 18:05, 19 September 2025 (UTC)

@Earth605: Not a DYK issue.--Launchballer 17:45, 19 September 2025 (UTC)

Don't articles that appear at the Main Page not have maintenance tags? Repinging as I pinged incorrectly: @AirshipJungleman29 and Masato.harada:Earth605 (talk) 18:05, 19 September 2025 (UTC)

WP:DYKTAG says that "The article should not [...] deserve stub or dispute tags." And, looking at the article, I can only see one offline source that lacks a page number, so really all this needs is {{page needed}} next to that one.--Launchballer 18:23, 19 September 2025 (UTC)

The tag has disappeared Earth605. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 19:10, 19 September 2025 (UTC)

Did it dissapear, or was it removed with an edit summary saying "rm"? ([1]) Earth605 (talk) 19:15, 19 September 2025 (UTC)

Both Earth605, as you were asking for. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 19:31, 19 September 2025 (UTC)

I don't know exactly what you mean about that, but I will start reviewing Earth605 (talk) 04:35, 20 September 2025 (UTC)

QPQ: Done.

Overall: About the sourcing, the quote "I had to go to the ball at Morozova: I've never seen such luxury and wealth." doesn't have a source. That would be the only problem. After that, were good to go! Earwig said 23.7, but it's mainly due to repetition of Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russia. QPQ not required. Earth605 (talk) 04:35, 20 September 2025 (UTC)

There is just one quote that needs a reference. Adress this, please @AirshipJungleman29 and Masato.harada: Earth605 (talk) 12:08, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

Uncited material removed Earth605. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 13:31, 22 September 2025 (UTC)
