GA nomination

{{ping|Grnrchst|p=}}, this article would be another candidate for the October Women in Green drive if its current length is as good as it gets on breadth czar 06:03, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

:Aye, I don't know how much more I could find on Mikhnenko tbh. Honestly I didn't even consider this article when I mentioned Kuzmenko and Nikiforova for this drive, but if you think this would meet the criteria, then I have no problem with submitting it.

::Sounds eligible to me. If you want, you could submit it for the "20 minute" review on the drive's page to get a second opinion. Even though it's shorter than your other articles, if it's as good as breadth gets, then it's good for GA. Only main objection I could see being raised is whether she's independently notable or only known for her relation to Makhno, which is a separate discussion from the GA criteria. czar 12:49, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Short description

This is currently Wikipedia's only GA without a short description, but I'm struggling to sum up the subject's notability in a short phrase. Please can someone help? Certes (talk) 19:07, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

:@Certes: I added the short description "Ukrainian exile", as I think that captures her life well. She was born somewhere her parents were exiled and died somewhere she had been exiled, not feeling at home in any of the countries she lived in. If this isn't good enough, I understand and am open to suggestions. -- Grnrchst (talk) 21:58, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

::Thank you {{u|Grnrchst}}. I can't think of a better SD, but the beauty of Wikipedia is that anyone who can knows what to do. Certes (talk) 22:01, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

Did you know nomination

Date of death discrepancy

Per [https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/35875 Kommersant], her death date is listed as 16 January 1993, but [https://proza.ru/2013/07/28/303 Proza] lists her death date (given via a news program) as 26 December 1992. Is there a way to reconcile this? Searching for each possible death year (1992 and 1993) yields search results. HapHaxion _{(talk / contribs)} 01:11, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

:Thanks for finding more info on Mikhnenko's date of death. Interestingly Proza says that the news of her death was reported on 16 January 1993, while also giving the 26 December 1992 as her date of death. The sources in this article simply give her year of death, which they list as 1993. I'll have to look more into this. --Grnrchst (talk) 18:04, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
