Poorly Referenced

The article needs a lot of work and is poorly referenced. Who "quietly" gave Szela a medal (what kind of medal)? Dr. Dan (talk) 16:05, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

One person's hero...

Austrian government. There's another problem with this article. Nobody mentions that it was Austrian provocation. Polish noblemen were planning another uprising and there was only one way to stop them: make the peasants kill their lords.

And you think the poor, hungry, defenseless serfs, suffering from robot, whippings and unending toil and humiliation, needed Austrian instigation to hate their cruel masters. You sound like a sicko Southerner, arguing those happy slaves would never have run away where it not for those evil Yankee instigators. Before 1848, several of my ancestors were still serfs. Szela is a HERO!

Nationality

I wonder if the article's description of him as Polish is correct. It may be better to describe him as Galician (Polish speaking, loyal citizen of the Austrian Empire...). It seems rather obvious he did not self-identified himself as a Pole much. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 11:41, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
