I have expanded this article using all the sources I could find, and believe that it is complete in terms of content. Before nominating it for GA or A class however, I'd like the opinions of fellow-editors on style & clarity of prose, comprehensiveness of content or whatever else hits your eye. Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks in advance, Constantine ✍ 17:47, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Wow looks good, am just wondering though, can the 1st paragraph of the lead be that short, anyone? Ryan4314 (talk) 13:54, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

• The images are all on the right - you should alternate them so some are on the left.
• Its common to have something other than prose in the lead for GA/A, such as an info box or image. (Maybe the coin?) Kirk (talk) 11:36, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Good points, I'll see to it. Thanks, Constantine ✍ 06:12, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

This period is not my area of expertise but generally it looks good - well done. A few points:

• An infobox should be used.
• The first (short) paragraph is okay, I think - main thing is that the lead as a whole is of decent size (as it is).
• You should add alt text to the images.
• "The Rus' raid of 941" section heading shouldn't begin with the definite article, per MOS.
• "Certainly" in the first sentence of the last section is probably not necessary.

To be clear, the opening of the lead section is rather short because otherwise I'd have to go into (IMO) unnecessary detail on the operations. I preferred to leave it at a general resume, albeit somewhat short. Thanks for the suggestions, they will be adopted. Cheers, Constantine ✍ 06:15, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Yep, to be clear ;-), I think the lead section is fine as is. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 23:23, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

OK, anyone else? Any comments as to the content? Constantine ✍ 08:11, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
