Was his first name in fact "Roman"? In all references that I've seen, he's simply "Ignacy Potocki." What does " Nobel Family" mean? Logologist 22:26, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

His full name was "Roman Ignacy Franciszek Potocki" - "nobel family" was a mistake.--Emax 22:59, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

The term "consort" is generally reserved for the spouse of a reigning monarch, which Potocki was not. Why the plural ("Consorts")? Consider "Spouse"?

Are we to understand that Potocki was, after all, a polygamist: that he had "Children" (plural!) with Elżbieta Lubomirska and with Krystyna Potocka? (Lubomirska already appears, above, as his spouse.)

Why not use the handier "Birthplace" and "Birth date"? One gets lost in all the "of"'s.

The closing information about when Potocki married (whom he married is already in the box) and received his White Eagle makes the piece read like a newspaper obituary rather than an encyclopedia article. Logologist 04:15, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Im using the same tables in all (szlachta) articles, see: List of szlachta - that he received the White Eagle Order is an important information. "Whom he married is already in the box" - yes, but not when and where ;)--Emax 04:30, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

Fine here.

Life

"...(Komisja Edukacji Narodowej)– the world's first ministry of education – he was.." Proper spacing in accordance with the hyphens.
In the first paragraph of the "Political career" section, you start a sentence with "In 1781...". In the second paragraph, you start a sentence with "On 29 May 1773...". Why the chronologic disparity?

Because the paras here are topic specific; the first one discusses his involvement with educational initiatives. The chronology here is secondary to theme. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 17:15, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"...office of the Writer of Lithuania..." Was he a scribe then? Either way, please elucidate.

Linked to offices of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, in lieu of stubbing a rather low-key pl:Pisarz wielki litewski.--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 17:15, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"...a nickname bakałarz." Please write as "...a nickname: bakałarz." Also, what does this nickname mean?
You already wikilinked Familia in the first section.

Added an explanation. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 17:15, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"...with Russia attitude..." "...with the Russian attitude...", maybe?

Clarified. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 17:15, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"...of a Minister of War." No need for "a".
"...even after Poniatowski's access to it." Access isn't the correct word, maybe accession?
That is all.

Done all marked plus minor. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 17:15, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Remembrance

This is as miniscule a section as any, but the content affords its own section nonetheless.

Conslucion

Very fine article. Once everything has been addressed and allayed, I will pass this article. Excellent work and congratulations! QatarStarsLeague (talk) 01:03, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
