It surprises me that this nomination has waited this long, Piotrus, because the topic is interesting and the article is very easy to read. It seems, however, that the article fails the first of the DYK criteria: newness. It was created on 15 September and nominated on 24 September. I would be happy to overlook this if it did not mean almost certainly getting dragged at WT:DYK. If it is any consolation, there are small things that would need to be worked on before the article is eligible anyway, so now you are spared extra work. Surtsicna (talk) 17:12, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

That is very helpful. I much prefer to be strict with article size and comprehensiveness than with newness, and this article is certainly of a decent size. I think the translation "The Magic Ship" needs to be clearly marked as an unofficial/unpublished literal translation and should probably be avoided in this hook. Quotation marks should be used for quotes instead of italics per MOS:ITALICS. The women mentioned in the Analysis section should probably be described with their profession (e.g. literary critics). Kuliczkowska's comment about a "spoiled millionaire" and the criticism of the portrayal of the husband do not seem to be contradictory, so "though" is probably the wrong word to use in that sentence. Of these, only the translation is a substantial issue. Surtsicna (talk) 19:01, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Surtsicna: Thanks, I fixed all (I hope - please take a look), and we can replace the English unofficial translation in the ALT0 with the Polish title (ALT0a below). Regarding "though", I clarified the passage a bit, the point is Kuliczkowska was praising the criticism of the "filthy rich" character and criticizing the lack of such criticism of another character (she was writing this in the time of communist Poland, adhering to the Marxist views, although I cannot spell that out in the article as this would be ORish, unfortunately). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:46, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
