- I did read the article with due care. Nothing wise to add; solid piece of work. Galileo01 (talk) 16:22, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
- @Galileo01 Are you planning on finishing the review? You may want to ask at WT:GAN if this is sufficient for a review, I appreciate your comment but I have my doubts if this is all we need. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 15:24, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
- Sorry, a bit of a newbie here. I'll ask. Galileo01 (talk) 15:57, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

- @Esculenta Thanks. All done! Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:18, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
- lead is too short
- "Private life" section/subsection is repeated
- "the prototype for Iki from the novel" is Iki a character in the novel? Probably best to clarify
- "According to Frycie, in his works for young adults, Broszkiewicz exposed moral values such as resourcefulness, wisdom, nobility, and courage, and combined various narrative techniques, genres, and literary conventions" it's not a standard English convention to give quotes in italics (instance later too)
- is the publications list complete? If it is, should say so with source (else "Selected publications")
- "Notably" see WP:WTW
Third opinion
@Piotrus: Hi again, I'm going through the eldest nominations and liked my experience with our previous review. I made minor edits myself mostly reshaffled words and changed commas. We can discuss the changes here if they are controversial. —LastJabberwocky (Rrarr) 11:19, 10 May 2025 (UTC)
- Copyright check is green. —LastJabberwocky (Rrarr) 11:19, 10 May 2025 (UTC)

- Do we need to cite "Officer's Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta" in the "Orders and decorations" section? —LastJabberwocky (Rrarr) 11:19, 10 May 2025 (UTC)
- Probably :) I've added the missing cite. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:56, 11 May 2025 (UTC)
- He suffered from schizophrenia. I would change "suffered" to "got" since schizophrenia doesn't necessarily has to be a curse of suffering. —LastJabberwocky (Rrarr) 11:19, 10 May 2025 (UTC)
- @LastJabberwocky Hmmm, "got" sounds a bit weird to me in this context, but I am not a native speaker. I'll ping User:Nihil novi, who is my go-to-expert on English prose, for a third opinion, if you don't mind. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:57, 11 May 2025 (UTC)
- I checked with World Health organization they use the word "affected" which does sound better. —LastJabberwocky (Rrarr) 05:20, 11 May 2025 (UTC)
- That seems fine, I'll correct it to affected now. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:25, 11 May 2025 (UTC)
- The usual medical expression is to "suffer". One "suffers" from diabetes mellitus, from heart disease, etc.
- The expression is not a gauge of degree of pain or disability.
- The very word "patient" derives from the Latin "patiens", the present participle of the verb "patior" (“to suffer, endure”). Nihil novi (talk) 23:21, 11 May 2025 (UTC)
- Nihil novi, I don't have really really strong feelings about this word. My thinking was: I have autism and it would be presumptuous to say I suffer from autism. it's almost a part of my personality; not something I need to endure necessarily. With schizophrenia I imagine it's much more difficult and closer to suffering (especially in 20th century). Anyway, I'm fine with the word "suffered". —LastJabberwocky (Rrarr) 07:24, 12 May 2025 (UTC)

- Kużnica club has a page on the polish wiki. —LastJabberwocky (Rrarr) 11:19, 10 May 2025 (UTC)
- @LastJabberwocky Nice catch, I missed it when writing the pl wiki article too. Fixed here and there :) Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:00, 11 May 2025 (UTC)
I spotchecked some of the links, checked whether the polish titles are translated into english, and assessed broadness. All good! Thank you for you work, closing my review. —LastJabberwocky (Rrarr) 17:34, 12 May 2025 (UTC)
