Query

[edit]

Piotrus, Dudley Miles, where does this nomination stand? It's been about six weeks since the last edit on the article, and the subsequent comments by Dudley Miles above. If the review is to stay open, some progress needs to be made soon. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:00, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@BlueMoonset and Dudley Miles: It stands as a testament to the importance of pinging/echoing/simply leaving a talk page notices. As I was not notified of outstanding comments here, I simply forgot this nomination was happening. Anyway, I'll try to remember to check the source soon, I have few more days where I can access it. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 22:02, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Another notable aspect of the book is an accent on the desperate plight of the serfs". I do not understand what "accent" means here - exposé? concentration?
  • One query not dealt with (see above) and one new one.
  • This article relies excessively on one source, particularly as you say in the article that there is an extensive literature on him. It seems surprising that there is only one biography of such an important figure in Polish history. However, I think it will meet the GA criteria once the two minor grammar queries above are dealt with. Dudley Miles (talk) 22:07, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • The article could certainly be expanded for FA, but I think it is comprehensive enough for GA. And frankly, I think the other works on him are a) older b) offline and hard to access, in obscure Polish journals and such. Tazbir's work is the most known and accessible work on him, I believe - and probably the best overall (it is AFAK the newest work on him, and the only book-size biography). Thank you for your review and suggestions! --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 13:26, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
