Sergei Aleksandrovich Tokarev

Created/expanded by Aymatth2 at 2012-08-14 19:26:33‎ (UTC)
  • ... that Sergei Aleksandrovich Tokarev, encyclopaedist and ethnographer, in 1986 still attributed shamanism to mental illness, a Marxist view that was not shared by his Soviet peers at the time?
    • Comments
      • Needs to run in the same group as Template:Did you know nominations/Mongolian shamanism. Tokarev is the author of a source cited in several of those articles. Uncle G (talk) 21:43, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
        • Symbol possible vote.svg Excellent, in-depth coverage of topic. Date, length meet requirements. However, the 10 CN tags must be addressed before passing. Could do with a snappier hook statement, will see what I can come up with. The Interior (Talk) 17:23, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
          • The article started with large blobs of material from the Russian and German wikis, neither of which had much in the way of cited sources. It then was expanded to include material from available sources. But the original stuff was left where it seemed plausible, hence all the CN tags in the version that a certain anonymous editor nominated. Today I found a solid source for the subject's early career. Otherwise, I have deleted the unsourced material, plausible or not. Nothing was really essential. In retrospect, ignoring the other wikis and writing from sources from scratch might have been quicker. I think it is o.k. now. Aymatth2 (talk) 02:12, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
            • I feel your pain. I usually go the total rewrite route in these situations, but it hurts to remove plausibly true stuff you can't reference. One other fix/clarification needed - in the quote in the 3rd para of "Ethnology" we see "the iasak population". I"m not sure if that refers to Yasak? The Interior (Talk) 17:39, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
              • The source uses the spelling "iasak", another spelling for Yasak. I have made it a link. Yasak are the indigenous people of Siberia who paid tribute to the Russians, and that completely fits the context. Aymatth2 (talk) 17:56, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
