Józef Piłsudski

Józef Piłsudski was one of the most prominent Poles of the 20th century and arguably one of the most important European politicians of the first three decades of that century. I have now done a major copyedit of the article, and I think it is reasonably NPOVed, comprehensive and well-cited. There is still a number of citation requests which in most cases I have added myself to some statements which I could not verify but which looked important and were in the article either before my copyedit or which I imported from related wiki articles. Besides the existing citation requests, what other issues would you suggest need to be addressed before FAC? Comments appreciated.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 23:46, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:CONTEXT and WP:MOSDATE, years, decades, and centuries without full dates generally should not be linked. For example, January 2006 should not be linked, instead change it to January 2006. Also, please note WP:BTW and WP:CONTEXT, which state that years with full dates should be linked. For example, February 28, 2006, should be come February 28, 2006.

Per WP:MOS#Headings, headings generally should not repeat the title of the article. For example, if the article was Ferdinand Magellan, instead of using the heading ==Magellan's journey==, use ==Journey==.
The article has a few or too many inline external links, which hamper the readibility of the article. Please convert them to footnotes, preferably in the cite.php format recommended by WP:WIAFA.

Please alphabetize the categories and interlanguage links.

Could you verify that Image:Jozef Pilsudski na Kasztance.jpg has a proper tag? 100 years from now would be 1906; the text at which the image is located describes events in the 1920s.

- That was quick :) Issues 2 (headings) and 4 (cats) are addressed now. After hours I spent today tidying up the references, I honestly don't have the heart to tackle issue 1 (dates). 3 (elinks) - I will deal with it before FAC, for now they serve as temporary references in places I was not happy with quality of refs but couldn't find anything better. 5 (pic copyright) - I have changed the tag to {{PD-art-life-70}}, added source and date (1928).--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 00:12, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - For a simple way to fix issue number 1, you can ask User:Bobblewik to fix it for you, or you can copy User:Bobblewik/monobook.js to your monobook.js (or maybe I'll just fix it). AndyZ _t 00:38, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    - I've asked him for assistance. Tnx for the tip.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 00:58, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- All issues are now addressed, I believe. Tnx!--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 18:23, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Too many red links. I de-redded the link to Tadeusz Jordan-Rozwadowski, but there's more work to do. //Halibutt 09:33, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I'll see what I can do. I count 18 red links in mainbody now.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 18:23, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There are still some odd date links. In response to Andy's point about dates in articles: this task is easier with the aid of a 'dates' tab in edit mode. Simply copy the entire contents of User:Bobblewik/monobook.js to your own monobook. Then follow the instructions in your monobook to clear the cache (i.e. press Ctrl-Shift-R in Firefox, or Ctrl-F5 in IE) before it will work. You will also get a 'units' tab. Hope that helps. bobblewik 19:52, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
