ALT1 - "... that the reformers of Kołłątaj's Forge were among the most active supporters of the Constitution of May 3 and popularized the ideals of the French Revolution in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth?"

The "the" in front of Kołłataj's Forge is unnecessary, "Constitution of May 3" is the article name. The current hook is factual and to the point but adding in the French Revolution is also important (this was one of the primary contemporary criticisms levied at them by their opponents) and gives it international relevance. But the original is pretty good too.Volunteer Marek (talk) 04:22, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

• Hook (ALT1 reviewed): Short enough, interesting enough, cited.

Article: Long enough, new enough, neutral, image is PD. Spotchecks through GBOOKs seem fine. AGF on Polish references.
