The page is well-referenced, long and new enough. No copyvio was observed. The prose is generally good though I made some minor edits. The hook is very interesting and supported by a reliable source but '(pictured)' should be inserted at the end (in Italic). However, the last sentence of the lead is just a bit baffling; "...and its research and development were very important for later achievements of the Soviet rocket and space programs." In what terms was it "very important"? I mean this line is just vague and even maybe POVish. --Mhhossein talk 13:18, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @Mhhossein: and thanks for carrying out the review. Adding '(pictured)' sound fine. The last sentence of the lead is supported by the two quotations from Siddiqi and Chertok in the "Legacy" section. During my research for this article I found a number of comments on how important RNII was to the Soviet space program, so I thought it was worthwhile to include this detail in the lead. Note that I used "very important" as Siddiqi used "extremely important". What do you think? Ilenart626 (talk)
Hi Ilenart626, Ah I just noticed the quotes in the "Legacy" section which I think are compelling enough. We can go ahead with the nomination after '(pictured)' is added. --Mhhossein talk 06:12, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
