... that the Zambian born Polish economist and MP Killion Munyama (pictured) originally did not plan on staying permanently in Poland, but the fall of communism changed his mind?

Nice article. Image is OK. Two of the refs are set out as interviews, but they seem to be good sources. Length, age, referencing is fine. I can't see any close paraphrasing however google translate obscures this. My only problem was that I could not find the hook fact and would also like to shorten the hook to ...

Thanks for the contribution. Maybe a Polish speaker could assist... or we could AGF the Polish source. Victuallers (talk) 11:23, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

You could not find the hook fact in the article or in the source? Also, I'd like to keep the "economist" in there, but otherwise I think alt2 is fine.Volunteer Marek (talk) 13:25, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

In the source the relevant passage is: "to była ogromna przepaść pomiędzy dwoma systemami. Kiedy przyjechałem do Polski w 1981 roku założyłem sobie, że po ukończeniu studiów nie zostanę tutaj ani dnia dłużej - ze względu na ówczesne warunki dla absolwentów wyższych uczelni. Nie do pomyślenia było dla mnie, że człowiek po studiach mógł pracować dziesiątki lat za pensje ledwo wystarczającą na kupno np. jakiegoś starego samochodu. (...) Dla mnie osobiście 1989 rok przyniósł niesamowite nadzieje na poprawę złego stanu polskiej gospodarki. Pojawiła się szansa na likwidację tej całej szarzyzny panującej w komunizmie. Najbardziej jednak cenię wolność obywateli i swobodę w podejmowaniu własnych decyzji. Dopiero w 1989 roku zniknęła podejrzliwość władz o każdy krok poczyniony przez obywatela."

Thanks Marek - that clears that up - I will approve substance of the main hook as AGF (as I can only see a google translate) - thanks for your work. I'm concerned at the length of the hook I'll check it Victuallers (talk) 12:13, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

- Length < 200 chars so OK Victuallers (talk) 12:20, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
