- Reason
- World War I is of interest at FPC today so let's consider what would become the first FP of the Eastern Front. (Don't worry; we're not countering too much systemic bias--they weren't Bolsheviks). Restored file per upload notes.

- I'm confused about the caption, it says this unit pushed past German trenches, but this looks more like a unit consuming the vodka. What is this unit? Is the caption correct? --Blechnic (talk) 16:07, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
- This was the 1st Petrograd Women's Battalion. Yes, the caption is correct. Durova 16:58, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

- Okay, I'll draft something. :) It seemed like at least a couple of voters were actively hostile to the idea of having an FP on female active duty personnel. This find was serendipity while I was looking for potential FPC restorations on Russian history. Durova 18:31, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
- Are you referring to this? All of the opposers in that nomination (myself included) voted on quality grounds. I didn't sense any hostility. NauticaShades 23:13, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
- Someone showed up on a single shot IP for the express purpose of accusing me of gender bias. Durova 01:11, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
- Of course, that person doesn't get counted as a voter.... Fletcher (talk) 02:28, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
- Well I've updated the caption; hope it's acceptable now. Durova 03:08, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
