I will be reviewing the article. Z. Patterson (talk) 01:54, 13 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

@Piotrus: The article has no copyright violations.

The article appears to be well-written, stable, neutral, verifiable, and broad in coverage, despite its length. I have some points to address.

The article should have illustrations. Would you be able to add one or two to the article?
The article has many quotes.
- For shorter quotes, I think it would be helpful to include the original phrases in Polish as footnotes.
- I think some of the longer quotes could be paraphrased.
There is no set date format or English language variant, but I see "criticized" in the prose.
- If you choose to use DMY dates, I recommend using Oxford spelling.
- If you choose to use MDY dates, I recommend using American English.

If you make these changes, or otherwise address these points, I will pass the article as a good article. I will give you seven days to address these.

@Z. Patterson Thx.

Re images: I've added a photo of the author. I am not sure if we can add a photo of covers for the edition of 1973 that arguably fails Commons:Threshold_of_originality#Poland (, , since Commons is not very clear on whether TOO exception can be used for Polish media or not). I'll ping User:Masur for his thoughts.

I did some c/e to the quotations, rewriting some, removing the unnecessary quotations for tiny fragments (common words/expressions) which arguably don't need to be quoted at all. I am not sure what to move to the footnotes - I think the article is short enough it doesn't needed them.

I am unsure how to fix the "criticized" issue particularly as I don't see any DMY/MDY dates?

Please note I am on holidays, so my replies may take longer than usual. Tnx for the review! _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:20, 14 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

@Piotrus: You are welcome. I made the remaining changes myself. I chose Oxford spelling and DMY dates because of using "Z" in words such as "criticize", and dates were in year, month, day format before I made the changes. I will pass this as a good article. Z.
