 * I propose to review this article. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:47, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

On first inspection, I see a well written and worthy article. One or two points struck me:


 * Would it be possible to have a larger version of the picture when one clicks on it? Immediately under the picture it states "Size of this preview: 800 × 340 pixels. Other resolutions: 320 × 136 pixels | 640 × 272 pixels | 1,024 × 435 pixels | 1,280 × 544 pixels." Can you use the 1280 x 544 pixel version?
 * I don't think it is possible; I believe this is how MediaWiki engine for pictures works. One can access the high res by clicking on the link. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 18:43, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I was not aware that one could click on a higher resolution tag and see the picture better in all its intricate detail. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:02, 2 August 2012 (UTC)


 * The lead is very brief. I think it should contain a better summary of the rest of the article.
 * Agreed, expanded.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 18:43, 1 August 2012 (UTC)


 * You could mention that the painting is in oils in the body of the article.
 * Done.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 18:43, 1 August 2012 (UTC)


 * The word "scepter" is mentioned and needs wikilinking or explaining.
 * Done.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 18:43, 1 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Can you deal with the "by whom?" tag in the history section. "in 1902 the painting was bought[by whom?] from Rosenblum's heirs"
 * Done.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 18:43, 1 August 2012 (UTC)


 * This sentence is awkward - "Modern scholarship indicates that he died in a cavalry duel, and not from peasant's hand."
 * How would you suggest we deal with it? I could transform it into a note.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 18:43, 1 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Where there are two consecutive references at the end of one sentence, they should be in numerical order.
 * Done.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 18:43, 1 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Some of the references state they are in Polish but others do not, even though they are actually in that language.
 * Done.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 18:43, 1 August 2012 (UTC)


 * I wonder why you used "Understanding Matejko's painting The Battle of Grunwald" as an external link rather than as a source for the article?
 * Because it states: "To a significant degree, the analysis of the painting in the above is based on that posted in Polish by Marek Renzler on the eduseek.interklasa.pl website", which is already used as a source. PS. But I did find another source, and used it to expand the article further (the Gazeta Wyborcza article on the painting).--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 18:43, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
