 * Symbol possible vote.svg The topic of the article is interesting. It is new and the citations are reliable and sufficient within the article. QPQ is provided. What is missing though is the article is not long enough, and does not meet the minimum requirement of 1,500 words. Haven't reviewed the copyvio and plagiarism. The hook itself is properly formatted. I am a new reviewer and would like a second opinion. Mchuedem (talk) 17:18, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Sooo. Since when is the requirement 1500 words? Last time I checked the (granted, unwritten) rule of thumb was 250 words (similar to determining whether something is a stub or not). Looking at Did_you_know, I think you made a clerical error: the requirement is for 1500 characters of prose (letters), not words. PS. Thanks for better-sounding ALT1. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 09:28, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry. My mistake. You're right. Also within the alternative stub, just a small change ('to' to 'from'): ALT1 ... that from 1901 to 1904, over 100 students took part in the Września children strike, protesting against the Germanization policies?Mchuedem (talk) 15:27, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

ALT2 ... that, during the Września children strike of 1901–04, ethnic Polish schoolchildren were flogged for protesting against religious instruction in German?
 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough, long enough, inline citations OK, no close paraphrasing. Polish-language source verified. QPQ OK. Good to go, but I would suggest a little more captivating hook (alt 2). — Kpalion(talk) 00:04, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
