Stanisław Koniecpolski

 * Nominator(s): Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; talk to me 

A biography of one of the best known Polish military commanders, from the Golden Age of Poland. Also, an illustration of how our standards change. This was one of my first FAs years ago, in the days of Brilliant Prose. Earlier this year I got around to adding inline cites, and bringing it to a GA status. Now, I hope we can move it forward to A-class, and eventually, FA-class. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; talk to me 19:34, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

Comment: I think the lead needs some enlargement, and maybe some prose tweaks. I just don't think we get enough of the man through it compared to the rest of the article, which is commendably thorough. I would however strongly recommend that more sources should be added to complement Podhorodecki, which appears to cover two-thirds of the references and approximately that of the prose. At the moment it may just about meet "relevant body of published knowledge" (A1), but in the current state it will struggle with FACR #1 "thorough and representative survey of the relevant literature".

 * Let's get one thing straight (my fault, as I did not state it above). There are no other sources. Well, I guess one could try PSB just to get everything, but it would still be a tertiary source. Koniecpolski's entry would be in the tome from 1967-1968 so Podhorecki's book from 1978, which is the one and only book dedicated to him should be seen as a more recent source, too. I'll try to expand the lead soon. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; talk to me 08:04, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
