Witold Pilecki
Partial self-nom. A very interesting biography. May need minor English lang improvements, but I believe it is quite good atm. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 11:10, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)


 * I'd support this. I learned something new today. &mdash;ExplorerCDT 11:37, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * object: There are to many "red" links, unexistent reference articles. User talk: Coburnpharr04 11:36 Pm, 29 Dec 2004 (ET)
 * Several unimportant ones have been removed. There are ~13 red links left. I don't think this is against any featured rules, besides, red links serve as a reminded of 'to do', showing us what needs to be done. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 12:21, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * I support it now: looks much better with the sectioning. Although I'm strongly against "red articles", I do believe thats this article is quite interesting and should be featured. User talk: Coburnpharr04 1:44 Pm (ET), 30 Dec 2004
 * Support - the story is interesting, short and well-described. Halibutt 02:29, Dec 30, 2004 (UTC)
 * Support: This article presents, concisely and evocatively, an important story that is generally unknown to the broader world.
 * Minor object. Desperately needs sectioning. Could do with a minor copyedit, and perhaps to be a bit longer (it's hard to judge length because the pictures are so big). Will consider supporting if just the first one is done, though. Ambi 04:45, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Good point. There is now sectioning. Lenght is ~2350 words, 16k letters or '6 article screens, plus 1 list screen'. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 12:21, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * I believe this could use some more work to conform to Wikipedia conventions: most obviously, put dates of birth and death in the intro and don't bold the subject's name more than once. I also believe a bit more length wouldn't hurt. However, those are just suggestions, I'm not objecting. Everyking 22:09, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * There was way too much overlinking before I edited this. For example Armia Krajowa, Polish and Polish Government in Exile were all linked each time they appeared in the text. The article on the whole also seems too short to me, but since I know nothing of the subject I can't say if the article is comprehensive. In short this is a non-vote (aka just a comment). --mav 06:30, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
