I will review on a section-by-section basis for content quality as per GA standards. A preliminary checklist will be placed at the bottom when I'm done (hopefully, by Fri., Oct. 18. dci | TALK 20:20, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

[edit]
  • A longer lead with more personal information, less on each office he held, and a little more on his overall impact on Polish-Lithuanian history would be helpful for this article. dci | TALK 20:20, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

This article has passed its GA review.

  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
    The article is well-written, though it would be wise to keep an eye out for grammar and usage in some cases.
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
    No problems whatsoever in this regard.
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
    The article is reasonably broad, while remaining appropriate in its biographical coverage.
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
    No problems whatsoever here.
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
    Again, not even an issue.
  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
    All appears well in regard to pictures and related copyrights.
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
    A well-written article. I would double-check in some areas for grammar and usage consistency. My sincere apologies for the inappropriate delay. dci | TALK 02:37, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Date of death?

[edit]

The infobox and lede say he died in 1762, with the actual day a bit of a mystery, but in the actual text it says he died on 29 August 1764. The latter cites this reference: Polski Słownik Biograficzny, Zeszyt 171 (tom XXVII), 1983, p.479. Which is the actual date? Also, I just noticed, the date in the infobox for his birth is September 15 or 16, but the date in the rest of the article is September 15 only. Is that the correct date?

Most sources available on Google Books agree on 1762. There may have been confusion with his son's coronation in 1764 as king, though I am far from certain on this point. dci | TALK 16:33, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I've doublechecked with PSB, and corrected the errors (as in, rm unref dates, PSB is clear on 15 September and 29 August as the dates, and 1764 was an obvious typo error). Thanks for spotting those! --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 17:16, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
