[edit]The only (minor) issue I see with this article is the Infobox: it shouldn't have blanks. Either fill in the Designer and Design date fields or remove the pipe symbols (|) from the code. Otherwise good work! — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 12:45, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
Sorry, just noticed that in the article's body You spell the captions from the notes in ALL CAPS, while on the notes they are spelled in Small Caps. I think that should be fixed. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 12:54, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
Hello Dmitrij D. Czarkoff!
The first point has its own issues, unfortunately.
- If I remove the pipes, then the infobox is ruined. (For a demonstration, click here.)
- Can I just write in 'Unknown.'?
I am onto the the second point. – Plarem (User talk contribs) 19:57, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
- I'm busy fixing the Infobox. At least it hides the unused strings now. As far as I can see, the Small Caps are only used in the name of the bank. Template {{smallcaps}} should help with this issue. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 21:32, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
- I atually fixed Infobox, now it hides empty fields. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 22:09, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
- Ok, I already stated this above but let me repeat. In additional to some other problems (about which I emailed Plarem and got no response so far), the article uses Wikipedia as a source and contains some inaccuracies. It's not up to GA standard.VolunteerMarek 17:07, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
Where is Wikipedia used as a source?You are right, kiwix fork is a red flag, and this has been raised on talk few days ago, and ignored by the nominator and the reviewer. On a quick glance, lead is poorly formatted (seems too short, and too many paragraphs), there are problem with WP:BTW (for example, word denar is never ilinked, nor is Bank Polski, grosz is incorrectly redlinked to groszy, there is a typo in "Bank Kassowy", the use of capital letters seems problematic (I am pretty sure MOS discoruages them), there is inconsistent use of Polish diacritics ("dziesięć" vs "DZIESIEC"). Fair use images probably need additional rationale. I am sorry, Czarkoff, but if this is how you review articles, I am afraid I have to take this to WP:GAN and ask for a re-review of all of them. PS. This was a quick review, prose was not reviewed, and only few sample paras were checked for style issues. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 17:17, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
- I have to agree with all the points listed above. But I do not take full responsibility for all of them. I take full responsibility for:
- "You are right, kiwix fork is a red flag, and this has been raised on talk few days ago, and ignored by the nominator and the reviewer." I have added the kiwix ref because I could find nothing else, will be removed in a short space of time.
- "On a quick glance, lead is poorly formatted (seems too short, and too many paragraphs)"; I am not a good lead writer.
- "there is inconsistent use of Polish diacritics ("dziesięć" vs "DZIESIEC")."; That was just not noticed, therefore not fixed.
- "Fair use images probably need additional rationale." Those are my first non-free pictures uploaded to Wikipedia, I was not fully sure how to write a fair-use rationale.
- "the use of capital letters seems problematic (I am pretty sure MOS discoruages them)".
- But, on the other hand I do not take responsibility for:
- "there are problem with WP:BTW (for example, word denar is never ilinked, nor is Bank Polski, grosz is incorrectly redlinked to groszy, there is a typo in "Bank Kassowy"" That is MathewTownsend (talk · contribs)'s work.
- Feel free to re-review this article. The only question I have is about the WP:WIKICUP points. Do I get them now, or, if it is reassessed, after the second assessment (/GA2)?
- Volunteer Marek, in your email to me, you say:
- "Problem w tym ze doslowne tlumaczenie copyrighted text jest tez copyrighted"
- (English): The problem is that an excellent translation of copyrighted text is also copyrighted.
- And in WP:COPYVIO, there is not a word about translated work. Please explain.

- Regarding kiwix, [1]. Moving on, if you are the nominator, it assumes you take upon yourself to fix the works by others. So youll have to address all issues, including those introduced by others. Regarding Wikicup, ask the judges. It also depends on whether this so-far still succesful nom is failed, and re-reviewed. I wouldn't worry about Wikicup, there are months left in the 1st round, and last time, a single DYK was enough to move to the second round anyway. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 19:43, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
I also noticed that this must be a rushed review, as after most of my reviews, I get a bowl of strawberries, or a barnstar for my good work. Now I got nothing. :( – Plarem (User talk contribs) 18:17, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
- You're right that there's no mention of verbatim translations in WP:COPYVIO, which is a problem with that page - I brought the issue up recently here [2]. It's basically a common error and many people are not aware of the fact that stuff from other languages needs to be translated AND paraphrased.
- Specifically here, the "Design" section is a verbatim translation of the source (even the same phrases are left in all caps) [3] and needs to be rewritten/paraphrased.
- The other thing that needs to be corrected is the issue date for the "2, 5, 10, 20" notes in the "Third złoty banknotes" section. The 50, 100, and 500 probably were in fact issued in 1948 - I don't know off the top of my head, but I'm dead sure that the 10 and 20 came out in early 80's because I remember it. This is the section which is using kiwix/wikipedia as a source and it is incorrect. In fact, it's a pretty good example of why Wikipedia shouldn't be used as a source.

- Actually with the ten zloty note, I think it got introduced in 1950, retired in 1960 (replaced by a coin with Mickiewicz on it) and then a new one was issued in 1982 or so.VolunteerMarek 18:45, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
It's been two days and the copyvio issues have not been addressed. I've removed the offending section. The article should be delisted from GA.VolunteerMarek 18:16, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
