Initial comments
I've now done a very quick initial read of this nomination, but I've not checked any citations / references nor copyright status of images, and on this basis it appears to be at or about GA-level. However, there is a disambiguation flag that aught to be addressed.

I'm now started a more detailed review of the article against WP:WIAGA, starting at the Life section and finishing with the Lead. This is likely to take another day or so, at least. Pyrotec (talk) 18:52, 12 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Life -
 * Early years & Travels abroad -
 * These two subsections look OK.


 * Return to Poland -
 * Krynica has a disambiguation flag dated May 2013. It would be helpful if this could be addressed.
 * Otherwise, this subsection looks OK.

....Stopping for now. To be continued. Pyrotec (talk) 19:22, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Later years -


 * I'm traveling out of town at the moment in remote areas with limited Internet access, should be able to address above in a few days. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 19:08, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the update. I hope to finish this part of the review either today or tomorrow; and then I'll wait for your return. Pyrotec (talk) 12:10, 14 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Later years & Death -
 * These two subsections look OK.


 * Work -
 * This section looks OK.


 * Recognition & Selected works -
 * These two sections look OK.


 * WP:Lead -
 * For an article of this length the lead is rather "thin", so I'm not too convinced that it is compliant with WP:Lead as it makes no attempt to summarise some of the material given in the body of the article, such as Sienkiewicz's (paid for) travels abroad. I'd like to see a bit more detail in the summary, so I'd suggest that it be expanded to three paragraphs and his travels abroad (and Nobel prize) be added. Pyrotec (talk) 17:18, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

At this point I'm putting the review "On Hold". In order to make GA-status the lead needs to be addressed and once that has been done I'll award it a GA. The disambiguation aught to be addresses, but its not mandatory to achieve GA. Pyrotec (talk) 17:18, 14 July 2013 (UTC)


 * @Pyrotec - thanks for the review, I expanded the lead and piped the disambig. I hope it is fine now, --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 12:21, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, thanks. It's much better now. Pyrotec (talk) 19:27, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
