Superseding X icon because the newness was incorrectly assessed. Pinging reviewer Aydoh8 to return and reassess. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:11, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
@Piotrus and Aydoh8: The source says that Umiński was one of the earliest Polish SF authors, and that The Cross and the Crescent is something that could be military science fiction, but it doesn't really say that The Cross and the Crescent is one of the earliest MSF books. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 03:52, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
You do have a point Theleekycauldron. It doesn't explicitly state that The Cross and the Crescent was one of the first MSF books, it is implied however I'm not sure if we can run with that. Aydoh8[contribs] 03:59, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
@Aydoh8:@Theleekycauldron: Hey guys, I am afraid I don't see the problem. The source states that this book is "perhaps the first example of Polish military SF". The hook says that it is "is one of the earliest examples of military science fiction genre in Polish literature". Aren't those sentences 100% equivalent? Sidenote: both were written by me (I am the author of the source in question). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:23, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
@Piotrus: Right you are! I did miss that. I will say that no, they're not 100% equivalent, since "perhaps the earliest" and "one of the earliest" are somewhat different, but whatever. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 10:36, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
I will be closing this in 24 hours if I don't see a valid QPQ before then @Piotrus:.--Launchballer 14:39, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
