Disambiguations: none found.

Linkrot: One found and tagged. Jezhotwells (talk) 00:34, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Checking against GA criteria

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


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * The lead is too short, it should fully summarise the article, see WP:LEAD❌
 * His grandfather from the father side, Ludwik Beynar, fought in the January Uprising, and married a Spanish woman, Joanna Adela Feugas "paternal side"? ✅
 *  His granfather from the mother's side, Wiktor Maliszewski, fought in the November Uprising Spelling "grandfather", "maternal side" ✅
 * Beynar's family lived in Russia and Ukraine Use the subject name as in the article name. Or move the article to his real name leaving a redirect.❌
 * ...he also worked as a speaker in the Polish Radio Wilno "on" ✅
 * He also begun his career as the writer and essayist ungrammatical ✅
 * In 1935 he debuted as an amateur historian Clumsy, suggest simpler "IN 1935 he wrote a book about....''❌
 * In July 1944 he took part in the operation aimed at liberation of Wilno from the Germans "aimed at the liberation..."❌
 * After recovering from his wounds, 1945 Beynar decided to leave the resistance, and instead begun publishing in an independent Catholic weekly  "began"❌
 * OK, I am guessing that your first language is not English. You need to get someone to copy-edit this article throughout.  It should not have been nominated with this poor prose.  You could try the WP:Guild of copyeditors, although their results can be variable - the Poland project may be able to help.
 * MoS criteria appear OK
 * List of works There should ideally be ISBNs for all post 1974 publications❌
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * Refs #8 and #9 (same target failed verification.
 * Other references check out and appear to be RS, no evidence of OR
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * Reasonable coverage
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * 1) 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):
 * One image used, with correct license and caption.
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:
 * OK, on hold for seven days for above issues to be addressed. You may wish to consider using Template:Infobox writer in the lead, but this is not a GA criterion. Jezhotwells (talk) 00:54, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Still several outstanding issues with the prose so I shall not be listing at this time. Jezhotwells (talk) 16:37, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

 * I fixed the refs and asked others to help with copyediting. I may be a bit busy over the next few days, and will check out your response as soon as I can. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 04:03, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * How is it going, do you want me to take another look? Jezhotwells (talk) 00:34, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I think we are mostly done, but another day or two may help, if I dig anything else up (just today I stumbled upon a useful web reference, for example). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; talk 01:20, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
 * OK, I will leave it for a few days. Jezhotwells (talk) 01:22, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I thought others would've fixed the grammar issues. I addressed the remaining points, with the exception of the first one. Till his name change, I believe he should be referred to under his old (birth) name in the article. As his new name is much better known, the article should not be moved. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; talk 16:12, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
