Overall: @Longhornsg: Good article. Though, the article does look it suffers from a possible WP:CLOP issue. So i'd either like that explained or fixed. Also there's some other minor issues like "when it was tranferred to the Khmelnytskyi Raion." being the wrong raion. Also, is citation 1 supposed to cite the entire infobox?

@Onegreatjoke: Thanks for the review! I've rewritten parts of the article to correct for minor errors or inconsistencies and to avoid the appearance of close paragraphs. Longhornsg (talk) 17:40, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Longhornsg: Guess it's alright but I feel like the notable residents should be cited. Also, the article still says that zinkiv is located in Khmelnytskyi Raion when it's not. Onegreatjoke (talk) 20:38, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Onegreatjoke: Good catch. I fixed the raion (verified with the cited 2022 State Statistics of Ukraine source) and removed the notable residents section. Longhornsg (talk) 23:39, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Looks to be good now (Had to fix the raion location since you got the wrong one again). Onegreatjoke (talk) 02:09, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
