Happy to review the article

Comments
See MOS:LEAD for help in addressing the following comments:
 * I see no reason why there should be so many paragraphs. The article has less than 22,000 characters, which means the lead should be no more than three paragraphs long (MOS:LEADLENGTH) ✅
 * The lead section needs to be “a summary of its most important contents”, but it is not. For instance, nothing is included of Pilecki’s life before World War II; ✅
 * Much of the content in the last two paragraphs is excessively detailed for a lead section, and these paragraphs include “significant information... not covered in the remainder of the article” ✅
 * The information in the lead does not need to cited (except any quote you choose to keep in, see MOS:LEADCITE)
 * It does not but it can be, and this article has been a subject of some edit warring and other editorial disputes in the past. Hence the high density of citations in the lead (particularly relevant to the term volunteer, but some folks have also disputed other statements). I'll see if I can remove some redundant duplicate+ footnotes from it as I address your various points. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 10:42, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Understood. Amitchell125 (talk) 07:32, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

Also,
 * There are redundant citations (e.g. following In 1940 Pilecki volunteered and new communist authorities.) All the references can be moved to the main article (if they are not there already), as the information in the lead is not controversial
 * Link cavalry (in the lead and the infobox); intelligence agent (Espionage); resistance leader (Polish resistance movement in World War II); Poland's Chief Rabbi (List of Chief Rabbis of Poland); captain (in the infobox); 41st Infantry Division (41st Infantry Division (Poland)) (in the infobox)
 * Done, although the cavalry masterin the infobox was weird, instead, I've added and linked rotmistrz. 	I linked resistance to a more general term as the specific Polish resistance link was added to the lead in the expanded early life.
 * Unlink Polish; Poland( in the infobox) (MOS:OL);
 * Polish is not linked in the infobox? Poland was unlike, how about Russian Empire?
 * Happy for these links, but any links to modern Poland are misleading, considering the changes that have occurred during its history. AM

More comments to follow. Please indicate where you have addressed any issues using ✅. I will cross out comments I think are sorted, and add a small red cross (❌) if more needs to be done to address a comment. Amitchell125 (talk) 16:39, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Link Warszawianka Company (Kompania NSZ „Warszawianka in the Polish Wikipedia) in the infobox, using
 * Done, and I've added that detail to the body (where it can be verified with the existing refs used there).
 * Polish Government-in-Exile – small e in exile	 		✅
 * Fighting Auschwitz: The Resistance Movement in the Concentration Camp should linked in its entirety ✅
 * It might be worth placing the codenames in a separate note (see MOS:FIRST); ❌
 * Lead part is mostly addressed, what do you think? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 10:42, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks, it looks better. AM


 * Consider putting szlachta in italics and amending to szlachta to indicate it is a Polish word. Unless you tell me you don't want me to, I'll be bold and put similar 'lang' templates in as I meet them.
 * Technical query: I don't mind the italics if MoS mandates it, but the word is used in English without italics too. Also, how do we include a wikilnk in that template? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:39, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
 * If the word is used in English, I think it can be left as it is. AM


 * had been deported to Russia – I would include that the family originated from Lithuania, according to Ref 7 (Cuber-Strutyńska) ✅
 * The Polish Wikipedia article (and Cuber-Strutyńska as well) gives more details about Pilecki's background and early years. Could these not be included?
 * Pl wiki may not always cite references, but if there is something pertinent in C-S source, like the Lithuanian detail, please mention it here and I'll add it. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:39, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
 * See C-S pp. 282/283 (details of the estate he settled in during the 1920s); other useful sources used by the Polish Wikipedia seem to be self-published, e.g. this. AM


 * Amend ZHP to ‘Związek Harcerstwa Polskiego (ZHP)’ ✅
 * I looked again and didn't see anything I found interesting, maybe the tidbit that the estate was "dowered by his great-grandmother"? But it seems trivial to me. Do let me know if you disagree or if I missed something else. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:11, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Happy to move on then. Amitchell125 (talk) 12:31, 13 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Consider unlinking World War I (MOS:OL)
 * I'd rather keep it, for educational reasons (kids reading this article, etc.). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:46, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Understood, but I disagree. Where do you stop with providing links for younger readers? MOS:OL asks editors to consider whether "reading the article you're about to link to would help someone understand the article you are linking from". As World War I, covers every aspect of the war, every theatre, and every period, I would not send a reader to the article. Amitchell125 (talk) 12:34, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Errr, is your last sentence was intended? I do think that linking WWI helps a younger reader. Shall we call a WP:3O? I don't have strong feelings, but I'd rather keep the link if it's the same to you. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  11:13, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
 * My typo. We can agree to keep it. Amitchell125 (talk) 12:37, 13 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Comma after Białystok	 ✅
 * szeregowy - as there is an article in the Polish Wikipedia, consider amending szeregowy (private) to ' Szeregowy (private)'
 * Since interwiki treat them as the same, and I concur it makes sense, I don't think it is necessary? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:46, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Probably not. AM


 * volunteer army should be in capitals	 ✅
 * defending the city of Grodno – as the city was not in Belarus (as it is today), perhaps it could be clarified that at the time it was a Polish city	 ✅ as "then-Polish"
 * Consider adding this map to the subsection to help clarify the text. ✅ but I am not sure it is for the best, we may have now some image-infobox text sandwiching, and is that map really particularly helpful? We also mention other cities, why the special treatment for that one? We could add map of the Polish-Soviet war, but again, that seems not super relevant IMHO, readers can visit articles about cities/wars to see more context and maps and such. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:46, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Understood. AM


 * non-commissioned officer is unnecessarily linked twice in the same paragraph 	✅ + removed a bunch more duplicate links I noticed with this pass of a highlight dupe links gadget. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:22, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Andrzej (16 January 1932) and Zofia (14 March 1933) – the dates of birth of non-notable people are unneeded here	 ✅ and added a pl wiki link to Zofia as she has a bio on pl wiki. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:22, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I’m unclear what the significance of the chairman of a dairy is	 Indeed that sounds out of place. It's from Ewa Cuber-Strutyńska's article where she writes "As a founder of a farmers’ association and chairman of a dairy he established himself, Pilecki was active also in his local community.". Any ideas on how we can rewrite it elegantly here without too close paraphrasing? This also could help address the issue below. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  11:22, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
 * see comment below. AM


 * I would move Pilecki was active in the local community, he was the chairman of a dairy and founded a farmer's association. He was also an amateur poet and painter. to a separate paragraph, as it is not related to his military activism during this period. - Right, but a) it would create a short paragraph and b) ECS mixes this info into other stuff, just we do. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:22, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I suspect he did a great deal for others. How about amending Pilecki was active in the local community, he was the chairman of a dairy and founded a farmer's association. to something like 'Pilecki actively supported the local farming community.' I'm not too concerned about the paragraph-splitting, it was a consideration. Amitchell125 (talk) 15:29, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
 * @Amitchell125 I am fine with shortening it like this, those details do seem mostly trivial. ✅ Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 18:40, 15 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Unlink Polish in Polish Army Prusy 	✅
 * was mobilized as – aren’t whole forces and supplies mobilized, not individuals? I'm unsure here... If true, amend to ‘became’ 	-> A curosy google books/scholar check does confirm the use of "he was mobilized" in this context... --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:27, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I would include a brief introduction about the events leading up to the German invasion of Poland to explain why Pilecki had to join the 19th Infantry -> Errr, which events? Like, why did the Germans invade? I've added the "With Polish-German tensions growing in mid-1939," to the opening of this paragraph, I think this should be sufficient for the context? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:27, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Looks sorted now. AM


 * A minor point, but imo the sidebar should be moved down to this subsection 	✅, but plz double check if we don't have sandwitching images now with File:Witold Pilecki KL Auschwitz.jpg which was pushed down and so I moved it to the left. --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:40, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
 * It's fine. AM


 * A new sentence starting from from August 1940? ✅
 * his ideology – I would amend this to ‘official TAP ideology’ or ‘Włodarkiewicz’s own ideology’ for the sake of clarity ✅	 Should it be TAP or TAP's? --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:40, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
 * 'TAP' looks OK to me. AM


 * Link ideological; Znak ( {{ill|Znak {publication)|lt=Znak|pl|Znak (pismo konspiracyjne}} '); Nazi Germany; internment; death camp (Extermination camp) 	✅ note I linked Christian values instead of generic ideology, also linked puppet government. And right-wing populism. --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  11:40, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
 * the Union of Armed Struggle (ZWZ) – include the Polish name along with the abbreviation ZWZ, for the sake of consistency ✅
 * Unlink anti-Semitic in the quote (MOS:LWQ) Hmmm, but the concept of anti-semitism is quite relevant to the context of this article. Any idea where we could move it instead? --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  11:41, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I would replace ...Pilecki saw that Włodarkiewicz was "flirting with anti-Semitic views" and had... with the more direct '...Pilecki saw that Włodarkiewicz's views had become more anti-semitic, and that he had...'. Amitchell125 (talk) 13:00, 13 February 2022 (UTC) ✅


 * The hatnote should be omitted, see Template:Main for why it is incorrectly placed here  	✅
 * Dupicate link - Auschwitz concentration camp (amend to ‘Auschwitz’ as its nature has already been explained) 	 ✅
 * See MOS:IMGSIZE for the correct way to enlarge the image	 can you be more precise which image and what code is wrong? --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  11:55, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
 * According to WP:IMAGESIZE "Except with very good reason, do not use px (e.g. |thumb|300px), which forces a fixed image width measured in pixels, disregarding the user's image size preference setting." Apologies if I've misunderstood this statement. Amitchell125 (talk) 14:34, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Hmm, interesting. I count 5 images outside the infobox which use px parameter, should be remove it from all and see what happens? <sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 18:43, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I would amend the image in this subsection to upright=1.5. and not enlarge the others—when i checked, that seemed to work. Amitchell125 (talk) 11:58, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
 * By all means, do implement that code - I am not very familiar with it. <sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:39, 17 February 2022 (UTC)


 * , and, along with – the sentence needs to be split here, as it currently reads as if Pilecki's journey to the camp and arrival there are all part of the the second backstory
 * In autumn 1941 he was promoted to porucznik (first lieutenant) - it's perhaps not clear to readers how a man can be promoted when an inmate at Auschwitz. 	 Hmm, the source doesn't clarify, but I think it's not that confusing. He was promoted outside the camp by his superiors, not sure when he learned about it but presumably that's the date on the documents. I am not sure how to clarify this in the absence of sources discussing this in more detail? --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:55, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
 * How about something like '..he learnt that "“far away in the outside world in Warsaw" he had been promoted to porucznik... ' (C-S p.288)? Amitchell125 (talk) 14:43, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Isn't that language a bit unencyclopedic? But maybe I misunderstood something - would you mind tweaking the sentence first, and then I'll see how it looks? <sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 18:44, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Done—the words in quotes are Pilecki's. Amitchell125 (talk) 12:07, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm assuming you're OK with my edit—please feel free to adjust it as needed. Amitchell125 (talk) 14:06, 18 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Correct In autumn to 'In the autumn of’ Grammarly insists that 'the' is wrong and added a comma... --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  11:55, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Link back-stories (Backstory)	✅ and removed the hyphen
 * Include the full Polish name of the ZOW where it is introduced	 ✅
 * to better inmate morale – ‘to improve the morale of the inmates’ sounds better ✅
 * from outside -’from outside the camp’ 	✅
 * For the sake of consistency, ZOW should be italics throughout ✅
 * kommandos – shouldn't this German term be in italics and with a capital letter? Italics, perhaps, capital, probably not, see also Kommando. I've added italics for now. 	--<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  11:55, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
 * While at Auschwitz is redundant	- ✅ changed to "As part of his duties," since I felt the paragraph needs some opening
 * I would add more details (using Cuber-Strutyńska, p295) to explain at the beginning of the subsection how Pilecki’s reports reached Home Army headquarters, (incorporating Further dispatches of Pilecki's were likewise smuggled out by individuals who managed to escape from Auschwitz.) ✅
 * a Home Army report on "The Terror and Lawlessness of the Occupiers - ‘a Home Army report, "The terror and lawlessness of the occupiers”’ (note the lack of capitals) 	✅ - but it's a translation anyway... should we add the title of the Polish original? --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:55, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Errr, I would say keep it in correct English (or Polish or both). AM


 * was also broadcasting details – ‘was using a home-made radio transmitter to broadcast details’ improves the prose ✅
 * The secret radio station – The ‘transmitter’? This text begins an overlong sentence that should be split	 ✅
 * it was broadcasting – ‘it broadcasted’ 	✅
 * These reports were a principal source – it should be made clear whether These reports here were the ones smuggled out of the camp, or the ones that were broadcasted.	 I think the written ones were more important, also, the radio ones were written down, I doubt the radio in the camp had much range. However, the wording in the sources is not very precise when it comes to distinguishing them. See also Witold's Report, the terminology is inconsistent, as in - the reports were plural, obviously, but they are also lumped together into one "work" called a singular report... --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  11:55, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
 * How about amending These reports (specific) to something along the lines of 'The information provided by Pilecki' (non-specific)? Amitchell125 (talk) 14:56, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. ✅ <sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 18:48, 15 February 2022 (UTC)


 * I would combine the first (very short) paragraph with the second one, as they are connected ✅
 * The image would be better placed alongside the relevant text, i.e. higher up	  It looks fine to me but if you think a tweak would help, would you  mind moving it to where you think is best? --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  11:55, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Already done? AM


 * Meanwhile – has little meaning here, as events are not being described in this paragraph 	 I rearranged the paragraphs instead?
 * No it was redundant, apologies for not being clearer. Word now removed, please revert if I have altered the meaning. Amitchell125 (talk) 15:15, 14 February 2022 (UTC)


 * personally and After that are redundant	 I concur with the first, but the second seems to fit well, I replaced it with a shorter 'Later'. --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  11:55, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
 * outside the camp perimeter – but they are not outside the fence already? Perhaps this detail can be omitted Perhaps the perimeter is used here in the sense of nearby area within the range of searchlight, etc.? That's my impression. --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  11:55, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Understood. AM


 * They headed east – the text from here onwards should be in the next paragraph		 	 Is it really necessary? The paragraph doesn't seem to long, and it would mean copying the reference footnotes... --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:55, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

 * Military Organization is not in capitals I cannot find the relevant text to fix? --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  11:55, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
 * See the second paragraph ("While in various slave labor kommandos and surviving pneumonia at Auschwitz, Pilecki organized an underground Military Organization''). Amitchell125 (talk) 15:22, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I've added the missing word Union. Not sure if this is what you were asking? <sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 18:50, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Now it makes sense. Amitchell125 (talk) 12:10, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

More to follow. it is starting to look as if the article needs quite a lot of work before it can be promoted. Amitchell125 (talk) 09:43, 6 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Dupicate link - Home Army; ZOW (in coordinating ZOW) 	✅ during an earlier pass.
 * an initial report – I would omit initial, as it seems to contradict the idea that reports had already come out of Auschwitz 	✅
 * focused – 'which focused'	 ✅
 * I would simplify rejected this proposal, since the camp's resistance was judged to lack sufficient strength to provide noticeable assistance during such an operation to ‘judged such an attack would fail’ 	✅
 * for rescued inmates – ‘for the rescued inmates’ ✅
 * Unlink Soviet in Soviet Red Army 	✅
 * Kedyw is in italics 	✅ As in, it should be in ialics, I assume.
 * Roman Jezierski is in italics? (as in the lead) ✅ Changed to italics.✅
 * Later – if there is no date available, this should be omitted (MOS:RELTIME)	 ✅
 * providing what limited support he could to ZOW - ‘providing ZOW with what limited support he could’ sounds better IMO ✅
 * NIE should be introduced using the full term. 	 This is not an acronym, as far as I can tell, this is the name of the organization. It means NO in Polish and unofficially it has been explained as a short from the Polish word for independence ("niepodległość") as well as affirmation of the rejection of communism. --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 18:57, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Understood. AM


 * Comma after Polish resistance ✅


 * Dupicate links - Warsaw  Uprising; Kedyw ✅ earlier
 * city center – is the article written in British English (as in autumn, above), or in American English (as here)? I have no preference, but as an ESLer, I do tend to mix them occasionally. Whichever ones requires less rewriting is the one I'd chose :) --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  11:47, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
 * OK, I think BE requires less work, so I've added the template to the talk page and tweaked center. Amitchell125 (talk) 14:37, 17 February 2022 (UTC)


 * After the fall of the uprising – a date would be useful here 	✅
 * He survived until liberation in 1945 at Oflag VII-A, in Murnau, Bavaria - seems in need of copy editing to improve the prose. Something like 'He was sent to Oflag VII-A, a prison-of-war camp for Polish officers located north of Murnau, Bavaria, where he remained until the prisoners were liberated in 1945.' And added a date for the camp liberation, with a ref. ✅


 * General Władysław Anders – should only be linked once in this section, and his name changed to 'Anders' after the first mention. 	✅ unless you meant we should also remove General? --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 12:01, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

 * Pilecki left Murnau – seems to say he remained in the town once he was released, which I am assuming is incorrect  I am not sure I follow. But since the previous section says he remained in Murnay until liberation, I just removed the 'left Murnau' entirely as superficial/redundant. --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  12:01, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

 * he arrived – he had arrived ✅
 * Unlink Italy    ✅
 * Link show trial 	✅
 * with the mission of gathering intelligence for II Corps duplicates what has already been said in the paragraph	 ✅
 * He would work – ‘He worked’ 	✅
 * written to Cyrankiewicz among others is redundant imo 	 The controversy about Cyrankiewicz, a fellow inmate, turning his back on him, is something that some sources discuss in more detail. So I think this can stay. In fact, I wonder if this shouldn't be expanded into a dedicated sentence at least. --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 12:01, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

 * received death sentence - ‘received death sentences’ ✅


 * Duplicate link - Powązki Cemetery	 ✅ during an earlier pass
 * The upper image shows very little of the monument and a lot of background, consider replacing it with something like this one 	✅
 * Amend the fall of communism and Pilecki's rehabilitation to something like ‘the fall of communism in Poland and Pilecki's subsequent rehabilitation’	 ✅
 * From the 1990s, following the fall of communism and Pilecki's rehabilitation is redundant here 	 Didn't you mean the repetition about the fall of communism following this sentence? (Which I removed) --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 13:44, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

 * After the fall of communism, a cenotaph to him was erected – the cenotaph might have been erected years afterward, is there a citation for this statement? 	 I can find sources that a symbolic grave, aka cenotaph, is there (ex. ), but not for when it was erected. It existed at least as far back as 2002 when his wife was buried there . For now, I removed the mention of it as it doesn't seem particularly important. Also, there my be more than one symbolic grave for him, I found references to at least two or three such locations. --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 13:44, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I would use an English translation for a museum, Dom Rodziny Pileckich e.g.. 'The Pilecki Family House Museum'	 ✅ Note I retained the Polish name, as I cannot locate the official English translation. --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 13:44, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
 * (though, as of 2020, it had not yet been fully opened to the public) – looks like the text here needs updating (see here) Grrr. This October 2020 article states that the museum building is still waiting to be officially opened, but  This article, from February 2020, states that the official opening ceremony took place in October 2019. The Museum abut page is useless, just states that the governing body (bodies) were elected in 2020 and 2021. This architectural magazine notes the Museum building was finished in 2020. It's possible the museum was partially or temporarily opened in 2019, but became fully operational in 2020. Oh, and here, it says that the permanent exhibition is planned to be opened in 2022... so I guess it is still not opened yet? Fully, at least? Aargh. How do you want to handle this? I did try to update this myself for now. --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  13:44, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I think you've done as much as you can, the picture will be clearer in future months, and can perhaps be updated then. Amitchell125 (talk) 14:46, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

Final comments to follow. AM

Whilst I'm checking the references, I'll be amending them (adding links etc.). As a reviewer, I know it's a good idea for me not to get too involved with editing, but tweaking the references won't alter the text of the article - I'll that side to you. Please revert/ping me if I've made an error in good faith. Amitchell125 (talk) 17:27, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Looking again at this section, there appear to be a number of different styles of formatting used throughout the article – see MOS:NOTES (“Editors may use any citation method they choose, but it should be consistent within an article.”) Amitchell125 (talk) 12:55, 5 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Good point. My current preferred style is as seen in Witold_Pilecki (Wysocki). One reference per book with rp used for page numbers in the article's body (the template is not needed for non-books as I think we don't cite specific pages for articles?). <sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 13:03, 5 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your reply, I'm of course happy with any one style (yours included). Regards, Amitchell125 (talk) 16:07, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
 * @Amitchell125 How is your reference cleanup? I noticed Wysocki reference still uses the rp template, while other books had their page ranges moved to the footnotes? <sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:26, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Done by the end of this afternoon. AM
 * ...and done. I've left a few 'page needed' tags in the article for you to pick up. Amitchell125 (talk) 15:15, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
 * * Ref 4 (Patricelli), do we have a page number for 4b? The text is being quoted. Amitchell125 (talk) 13:24, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
 * @Amitchell125 I believe this was added by User:Volunteer Marek, whom I'll ping - hopefully they have access to the source. <sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 13:27, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Do we have a page number for Ref 5 (Szumilo), or did you want to cite the whole chapter? Amitchell125 (talk) 13:37, 19 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Refs 8 and 21 (Fleming) appear to be identical. ✅
 * Ref 45 (Ministerstwo Kultury) does not verify the text ✅ - rotted, removed as unnecessary
 * Ditto ref 33 (The Times) - this can be derotted with https://web.archive.org/web/20110510023152/http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article5891132.ece but I don't think it's necessary, and can be removed. Other references cited provide more detail (this one however is in English and easily accessible after fixing). I've derotted it in body, but maybe we can remove it? --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  13:55, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, I would. AM ✅


 * Consider adding this link ✅
 * Consider separating the sources used for citations from the those considered to be for further reading ✅

On hold

 * I'm putting the article on hold for a week until 14 February to allow time for the issues raised to be addressed. Regards, Amitchell125 (talk) 11:47, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
 * @Amitchell125 Sorry for the lack of activity, I was busy with other stuff off- and on-wiki (Talk:Hyperspace/GA1 has lasted longer than I expected...). I'll try to catch up on the stuff above ASAP. <sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 10:09, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
 * The lead section looks sorted, so I'll collapse it down. Amitchell125 (talk) 07:41, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
 * , now we've started, I'd like to keep going, but I don't want the process to be protracted. I can extend the GAN for another week until 21 February if you're able to continue addressing the issues. Amitchell125 (talk) 08:10, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
 * One section per day, I think we will make it by the deadline :) <sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 19:44, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
