Marian Rejewski
Polish codebreaker who first solved the German Enigma machine. I hope to get this article Featured, and would appreciate any suggestions on how to improve it. Thanks! &mdash; Matt Crypto 12:02, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
 * A truly elegant article! Here are my suggestions:
 * Check all the blue links and make sure they link to the proper location and not to disambig pages.
 * The technicality of this article sometimes gets really thick. In other words, try reading this as someone who has little or no knowledge of codes. I think you might make some room to briefly explain some of the technical aspects of codes and code-breaking.
 * The sections on Rejewski's personal life are all fairly short. Perhaps they could be combined into one section?
 * The Posthumous recognition sections seems very short...perhaps combine it with personal life?
 * The image of the cyclometer is not tagged. I think the image also needs to be enlarged so that the letters are visible without having to click on the image.
 * Overall, a beautiful article! *Exeunt* Ganymead | Dialogue? 17:20, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the encouraging comments, Ganymead. In the last couple of weeks, the sections on Rejewski's personal life and post-war life/recognition have both been expanded (and other sections have been beefed up a little, too). I've replaced the image of the cyclometer with a new image. &mdash; Matt Crypto 17:03, 15 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Add more hyperlinks. For example, in the first para of the lead, terms like 'war' (which one?) or 'defeat of Germany' can be linked to more specific articles, and I can see several similar possible links in the following paragraphs.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 22:31, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I've clarified that the "war" was WWII, and linked to End of World War II in Europe for the "defeat of Germany". &mdash; Matt Crypto 17:03, 15 December 2005 (UTC)


 * It could be good to have the format of the references standardized. --Lysy (talk) 23:04, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Definetly. And not only that, but inline references should be used.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 17:22, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
 * The references format has been tweaked; I think it's mostly consistent. Note: regarding inline citations, see Talk:Marian_Rejewski. &mdash; Matt Crypto 17:03, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
