POV?
The sentence:
"The real abuse was on the part of the Doukhobor community that failed to educate their children other than to drill into them government conspiracy theories and train them to commit acts of violence towards their own families and community members (through well documented bombings and acts of arson)"
Don't panic; a discussion will now take place over on Commons about whether to remove the file. This gives you an opportunity to contest the deletion, although please review Commons guidelines before doing so.
If the image is
non-free then you may need to upload it to Wikipedia (Commons does not allow fair use)
If the image isn't freely licensed and there is no
fair use rationale then it cannot be uploaded or used.
Hm, not sure if that discussion is ongoing or closed, there's nothing on the image page indicating anything about an IfD......it's PD-Canada50 and like other Nat'l Archives fine for use on Wikipedia (despite the US copyright which says that since its copyright only expired in the US in 1999, its US copyright from 1996 (?) is still valid. I know other PDCanada-50 items have survived such deletion attempts; I really think some people have too much time on their hands and a penchant for deleting things....

Moved Veganism and Vegetarian template, added new one
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have moved the Veganism and Vegetarian template to the new "Food" section, since I think that it deserves to be in a section of it's own. I also added a template called "Immigration".

Hi! I'm opening a Good Article Nomination review. Hoping to complete the review over the next couple of days. I'll be using the template below. Thanks!

There are some prose issues - unclear phrasing, run-ons, etc. I'll do a pass and see what I can fix myself and make some comments here after.
I've gone through and removed a tranche of uncited, repetitive, or un-encyclopedic content. Please do a read-through yourself and ensure that the prose meets high standards for readability and an encyclopedic tone written from a neutral perspective. I can provide specific comments/examples if you'd like, but I think my sweep took care of the biggest issues, so take a run-through yourself first if you can.
The 'External links' section is overlong and unmanaged. It doesn't need to include any random article online about the Doukhobors. Please go through and clean up and consider what external links would add value to the article for the reader - well chosen, relevant, and so on. Better a few appropriate links than a sea of blue leading to confusion for the reader.
There are still several areas and sentences of uncited content. I can go through and add citation-needed tags to all of them if you would prefer, but please read through yourself and make sure there are sufficient citations for every fact stated.
2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with
the layout style guideline.
Some sources are reliable. Some are in Russian, so I will
WP:AGF assume good faith and treat them as reliable. However, there are many references I cannot regard as reliable. Some examples: the first reference is to a Google Doc from Spirit-Wrestlers.com. The 20th is the same (Tarasoff). The 26th reference contains a note that should not be part of the reference. Same with #47, about the census. #59, re: villages, is not a reference but a note and should be moved and cited. #66 does not seem a reliable source (re: The Band). There are other issues. Please take a thorough look at
WP:RS and
WP:REF and clean up the references with those guidelines in mind.
2b.
reliable sources are
cited inline. All content that
could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
references 2, 3 and 4 have no page numbers. #2 is a reference to a book on Slavonic languages; as far as I can tell doing a search for "origin" and "first written record", it does not contain the information represented in the sentence. Reference #6 is to a blog. Ref.#7,8 and 9 have no page numbers. #10 is an untranslated Russian reference, and #11 is a genealogy blog. How dependable is the information there? Who knows?
This is a well written and interesting article, but its references need work.
The 'Main Sources' section seems to deal only with language-centric references. Merge with 'Bibliography' and 'References' as appropriate. The 'Additional references' section should be moved to External Links, References, or removed entirely.
Several pieces of uncited information appear to be original research, such as the information about modern linguistic Russian in Doukhobor communities in Canada.
As this is English wiki, would be good to have an attribution and description in English as well as Georgian, for the third image (the worship place in Georgia). Hold.
In general, images are good, but some captions don't meet
WP:MOS - citations, phrasing, etc. Minor issues that I can fix myself during the prose review. Provisional pass.
7. Overall assessment.
Status query
Ganesha811,
DoggieTimesTwo, where does this review stand? As far as I can tell, DoggieTimesTwo hasn't made any edits to the article based on this review—indeed, they've only made eight edits anywhere on Wikipedia since the review was opened—and Ganesha811 doesn't appear to have completed significant portions of the review. If DoggieTimesTwo isn't going to respond to the issues raised in the review thus far, then it should be closed even if it isn't complete, since there's no point to putting in the remaining work if it won't be addressed. If they are, then they need to do so soon, in which case Ganesha811 would need to proceed.

I have contacted
Jaba1977 about the attribution and description issue on their Commons talk page. In addition, I am comfortable with fixing prose issues and reference problems, but it would be appreciated to receive some guidance on
WP:MOS issues.
DoggieTimesTwo03:46, 13 October 2020 (UTC)reply
In a new edit, I have removed the last sentence in the summary and citation 6, and replaced it with a new sentence that has similar general meaning.

Update on review
I have made specific comments above, but on references, number of citations needed, original research, and prose, this article needs substantial work to bring it up to GA status. Please let me know if you think you will have the time to dedicate to do this. References especially needs a lot of work. Remember that a good encyclopedia article is not an indiscriminate collection of information, but a structured and edited guide to the subject that is clear to the reader. Including every link and piece of information findable about the Doukhobors is *not* the purpose of this page. In general, irrelevant content removal and cleanup is the key to getting this article to GA status.

Thanks for the feedback. I will be dedicating as much time as I can to bring this article up to Good Article status, focusing on the citations and cleaning up the page.
DoggieTimesTwo04:59, 2 November 2020 (UTC)reply
In the meantime, shouldn't this article review be placed on Hold until those changes are made? This has been ongoing for quite some time already.

Jenhawk777,
DoggieTimesTwo, I will give a little while for improvements to be made. If in two weeks, the article is not clearly on the path to becoming a GA, the review will be put on hold or failed. This has been a slow process from both me and the nominator, and I'm mostly ok with that, but I agree we should come to a decision sooner rather than later.

I will be devoting most of my time this week to improving the article, and much of my work will be done today. Thanks for your hard work reviewing this article!
DoggieTimesTwo19:08, 8 November 2020 (UTC)reply
DoggieTimesTwo, hi! Looking at the article once more, it is significantly improved. However, I do not believe it reaches GA status. There are still too many uncited claims throughout the article, and a number of cited sources are not reliable in my view. There are other issues as well - on prose, on original research, and on focus. Unfortunately, this article does not pass right now. That doesn't mean you should stop working on it, though! Keep on improving the article. I hope to see it re-nominated and passing GA status sometime in the future. Thank you for your hard work on this article.

Copyedit comments
Sourcing issues: some unsourced content
Inconsistent referencing style (cs1 vs. cs2 styles: pick one)
References in lead distract the reader
Confusing topical and temporal order in the lead. I suggest having one short paragraph about origins/history and a separate one on religious beliefs.
No section in the body for their religious beliefs
