Cossack uprisings

"Cossack uprising" would be a disambiguation page. "Cossack uprisings" serves as a list of uprisings. Orczar (talk) 13:54, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

B class

During the B-class review for WikiProject Poland, I determined that the article seems to me to meet the criteria for the B-class. A WP:GA nomination could be considered. Good job! --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 18:09, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
This is going to take a couple passes to get through due to the size of the subject matter. Ajh1492 (talk) 21:58, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Lede needs to better summarize the subject matter, for this length (and complexity) of material I'd expect 2X larger.
You really want to put references in the Lede? The Lede is supposed to be just a summary of points covered in the article.
You might want to have a set of see also tags throughout the article.
"Unexpectedly, Henry of Valois ended up a winner." - How was it unexpected?
Clunky transition from Henry Valois to discussing the elected kings - you might want to move that paragraph to the top of the section.

MORE TO COME Ajh1492 (talk) 21:58, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think I've addressed the above concerns. Orczar (talk) 22:30, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What's the status on this review? The more to come was written several weeks ago and nothing has happened since. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 19:55, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The review is still active, it's a big and complex article. Ajh1492 (talk) 12:43, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Passed! Ajh1492 (talk) 12:12, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What's with the en-dash?

Is there some reason why this and related articles use an en-dash instead of a hyphen, for "Polish–Lithuanian"? This seems to be an error. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 05:11, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
