 * "Having suffered a wrong from a Polish nobleman and unable to obtain redress through official channels"... why not name the nobleman in question? I think it is weird to link a person without giving their name in text. A similar issue is with the " In 1747 they opened a public library in Warsaw" sentence, in which a misleading blue link to public library is in fact about a specific library, the Zaluski library. I'd strongly suggest that all such misleading, general links are properly described, without pipes.
 * more red links are needed; for example pl:Volumina legum is certainly notable
 * the article seems to rely heavily on paragraph citations. I strongly prefer the sentence citations, see here for why. I understand that we do not require sentence cites, so this is just my personal (if strong) recommendation.


 * I use pipes also to clarify the meaning for the casual reader (e.g. "joint state" and "election" in the first sentence, or to provide additional information for the reader to look up (e.g. "last king" in the first sentence). Using the entire names of articles linked does not seem appropriate here. Also nobles' democracy link in the following sentence: general sejm and nobles' democracy are not the same thing, but we don't have a demokracja szlachecka article yet, and the "General sejm" article explains a lot about the nobles' democracy. It seems that a piped link is needed here also. Swedish invasion is another piped link. Please let me know if you find such use objectionable. Orczar (talk) 03:58, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
