GA Review[edit]

This review is transcluded from Talk:Stanisław Poniatowski (1676–1762)/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewer: DCI2026 (talk · contribs) 20:20, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I will review on a section-by-section basis for content quality as per GA standards. A preliminary checklist will be placed at the bottom when I'm done (hopefully, by Fri., Oct. 18. dci | TALK 20:20, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lead[edit]

A copyedit is needed here. The sentences are rather choppy, and a check for correct capitalization is needed (e.g. Familia). dci | TALK 20:20, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A longer lead with more personal information, less on each office he held, and a little more on his overall impact on Polish-Lithuanian history would be helpful for this article. dci | TALK 20:20, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- I've done some c/e to lead. I don't think anything in the position should be cut, and I also don't see what is missing - but you are welcome to make more specific suggestions, or edit the lead yourself. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 16:11, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Copyedit notice[edit]

I will be copyediting the other sections today and will complete the review between tonight and tomorrow. dci | TALK 20:20, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The process is taking a bit long; I have extended the c/e to the remaining sections. dci | TALK 02:48, 24 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pass[edit]

I'm inclined to pass the article; I'll have a checklist up by tomorrow. dci | TALK 00:47, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies, this evening. dci | TALK 22:46, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Take your time, I am in no hurry :) Thrice the charm? :) --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 19:21, 16 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - I suppose so. dci | TALK 19:21, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - I'll give it another couple days, and if it's not completed I'll do the review. It's not that long an article, no reason for such a delay. Wizardman 23:08, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Date of death?[edit]

The infobox and lede say he died in 1762, with the actual day a bit of a mystery, but in the actual text it says he died on 29 August 1764. The latter cites this reference: Polski Słownik Biograficzny, Zeszyt 171 (tom XXVII), 1983, p.479. Which is the actual date? Also, I just noticed, the date in the infobox for his birth is September 15 or 16, but the date in the rest of the article is September 15 only. Is that the correct date? Jeancey (talk) 18:50, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Most sources available on Google Books agree on 1762. There may have been confusion with his son's coronation in 1764 as king, though I am far from certain on this point. dci | TALK 16:33, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've doublechecked with PSB, and corrected the errors (as in, rm unref dates, PSB is clear on 15 September and 29 August as the dates, and 1764 was an obvious typo error). Thanks for spotting those! --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 17:16, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
