First of all, let me thank a lot the author of the article on such an important and interesting topic.
I've cleaned the text a bit. Changed first name and patronymic according to Ukrainian language. Despite further career, Bila Tserkva and Kyiv were predominantly Ukrainian-speaking in1930s-1940s. Last name is spelled the same in both.
Authors of the article, please clarify the birth date 1916-07-12: was it a July 12, or December 7? Correct if needed. You know, I study English since my 7, but still can't get used to year-month-date. If the author is ex-Soviet, he may not either.
Removed excessive details
Somebody please check the links, categories and "see also" section - I'm no expert in sniping.
BTW:
- could somebody present this article for some selected anniversaries (as she was the greatest female sniper)?
- did anybody dig the issue of the "female mercenary snipers" in Chechen war? It is one of the favourite concepts of Russian propaganda there - but nobody seems to have seen any such sniperess (dead or captured).
Best wishes, AlexPU
[edit] Update
I added a picture and moved the article. Lyudmila Pavlichenko recived more hits on Google than the other name, which would indicate that the current name is the correct one. :) --Kross 00:05, Apr 23, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Copyright violation?
Looks suspiciously like http://www.soviet-awards.com/digest/pavlichenko/pavlichenko1.htm where it is attributed to Henry Sakaida... JidGom June 29, 2005 12:18 (UTC)
As long as the wording is not exactly the same, the article should not be a copyright violation. The facts are in the public domain many of which were obtained from original Soviet publications and documents in the case of both articles.

[edit] Nina numbers?
This article claims that Pavlichenko had 309 kills, Nina's article claims the same number.... both claim that each one was the gratest fimale sniper ever... this is a contradiction between articles. Sitenl 00:14, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- I've removed that phrase as it sounds suspisciously PoV. 68.39.174.238 14:57, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
