The Partisans (sculpture)

 * ... that the temporary removal of The Partisans, a Boston sculpture depicting Polish cursed soldiers, triggered protests of Polonia?

 * Symbol question.svg New enough. Long enough. QPQ done. Link to Polonia in hook is to a disambiguation page. In the article itself, Polonia is a piped link to Polish diaspora, and I don't see how this makes sense if that was meant to be the link in the hook too. However, "triggered protests" is supported by at least two of the sources (I can't read the Polish one), so I'd suggest either cutting "of Polonia" or replacing it with "by Polish-Americans", although it seems fairly obvious to me that they would be the ones protesting, and thus in the interests of concision should be omitted. Of course, you might not be into the whole brevity thing. NPOV. Dup detector reveals no serious issues with close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations or plagiarism. Hook is good. All paragraphs cited. Image is okay for front page. Edwardx (talk) 11:43, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Thank you, BlueMoonset. I did post a message to the article creator, Piotrus's talkpage, diff, but this seems to have disappeared or been archived. I have posted another message. Symbol now added. Edwardx (talk) 23:41, 8 December 2014 (UTC)


 * I fixed the disambig issue in the hook. Are we GTG? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 05:55, 9 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Piotrus, if that had been the only issue, I would have fixed it myself. As previously stated, I'd suggest either cutting "of Polonia" or replacing it with "by Polish-Americans". Edwardx (talk) 10:27, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree that Polish American is a better term. See ALT1 below. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 08:21, 11 December 2014 (UTC)


 * ALT1: ... that the temporary removal of The Partisans, a Boston sculpture depicting Polish cursed soldiers, triggered protests by the Polish-American community?


 * Symbol confirmed.svg Replaced "of" with "by the" in the ALT1 hook. Striking the original hook, to avoid it being promoted. Edwardx (talk) 10:26, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
