First of all, congratulations to comrade Whoingodsname for writing so much on this article.

I patrolled the page and wanted to bring up the encyclopedic tone, because while some of the sentences were very funny, it's lacking in some places.

We decided to go for a full encyclopedic tone on the wiki a while back, holding that it is more important to seem trustworthy. If we want to position ourselves as a serious encyclopedia, we have to adopt the tone people expect out of an encyclopedia.

It also standardizes the writing and leaves less to interpretation. Overall, it makes our points clearer (less risk of confusion). It then turns the articles from "this is what this editor says on this topic" to "this is what prolewiki says on this topic"

So for example:

"It was literally impossible to move from city-to-city in the Soviet Union, and I know this because I traveled to Kislovodsk, Rostov, Ryazan, Novocherkassk, etc. of my own volition[14]!"

Could be rewritten as

"Solzhenitsyn claimed that it was impossible to move out of one's city in the Soviet Union, despite having travelled to Kislovodsk, Rostov, Ryazan, Novocherkassk, etc. freely".

There's a few examples of sentences that would benefit from being rewritten, I can list them if you want to take a shot at it.

Also, we discuss on editorial guidelines here: https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/ProleWiki:Editorial_guidelines, which you might not have seen because we don't promote them a lot.
