Lede

  • Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section, the lede of this article adequately defines the topic of the Bolokhoveni ethnic group, establishes the necessary context for the group, and explains why the group is notable and historically relevant.
  • In the first sentence of the lede, I suggest a rewording to the effect of: "were a 13th-century that resided primarily in..."
  • The sack of Kiev by the Mongols should be wiki-linked in the lede, as it is in the History section.
  • The lede is well-written, consists of content that is adequately sourced and verifiable, and I have no other comments or questions for this section.

Etymology

  • To provide the relevance of the Chronicle's naming of the medieval Bolokhovo settlement, it may be necessary to explain that the chronicle is considered an important source of historical data for southern Rus'.
  • The "land of Bolokhoveni" map graphic is licensed Creative Commons and is therefore free for use in this article.
  • This section is well-written, consists of content that is adequately sourced and verifiable, and I have no other comments or questions for this section.

Geography

  • The Bolokhoveni's land map is licensed CC BY-SA 3.0 and is therefore free for use in this article. I suggest that this image be relocated to this section under the section heading in order to space the images throughout the article.
  • This section is well-written, consists of content that is adequately sourced and verifiable, and I have no other comments or questions for this section.
