- New enough and long enough, no copyvio, QPQ looks ok. Hook is interesting. AGF Polish-language sources. --Jakob (Scream about the things I've broken) 23:18, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

Ups, I saved the hook nom without having finished writing out the hook. The full hook should read:

ALT1: "that a civil war in Poland gave rise to a proverb about a state of division, disorder and anarchy"? User talk:King jakob c 2, would you mind ticking of on that one? It uses the same sentence as ref'ed in the article. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:55, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

What do "Sas" and "Las" refer to in the proverb? It's not going to make much sense to people unfamiliar with these events without an explanation. Gatoclass (talk) 13:48, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

@User:Gatoclass Good point, I added an explanation. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:19, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

That looks much better with the explanation. AGF-ing on the Polish language sources for the alt hook. Gatoclass (talk) 05:13, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
