With recent expansion of the article, and addition of inline refs for missing parts, the article is progressing nicely towards a FA-class. A MILHIST A-class review would be as always highly appreciated. What is missing and what needs to be improved? Do note I am not a native English speaker; GA reviewers noted substandard prose and I have listed the articles with the League of Copyeditors - unfortunately my previous experience shows their waiting list is months long (so if anybody would like to help improve the prose, this would be much appreciated).--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 20:39, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Also you can try listing it with our inhouse copyedit service at WP:MHL Buckshot06 (talk) 04:09, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks, I didn't know about it, I will do so right away.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 19:06, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. There's an inordinate amount of whitespace above the table of sabotage activities - perhaps this could be remedied by moving the images around? Carom (talk) 22:19, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- From my experience tables and images next to it don't go well, but feel free to experiment.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 00:35, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Support A comprehensive, well cited and fairly well written article. I agree that a tidy-up and copy edit is needed before a FAC, but I think that it meets the requirements for an A-class article. The only question I had unanswered about this movement was its inital composition in 1939 - was it formed from members of the Polish military, or did it have a wider membership from the begining? --Nick Dowling (talk) 23:00, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The origins, as noted in the history sections, go to the Służba Zwycięstwu Polski organization founded during the last days of the German invasion of Poland. While it was formed by military officers, I'd think that it quickly expanded to incorporate other volunteers; the goal of the organization was to "create a military command structure for the resistance movement". Certainly this is what took place soon after its creation when in was transformed into Związek Walki Zbrojnej (which 2 years later would become the basis of AK and at that time certainly had much broader membership than just former military personnel).--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 00:35, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Support. Agree with Nick that the article meets the A-class criteria. I would suggest that, although not necessary, that you consider adding a reference list using the reference templates. Anyay, it's a very complete and informative article. Good work. Cla68 (talk) 02:55, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Support, as it meets all criteria. --Eurocopter (talk) 11:31, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
