Image review

@Piotrus: Licensing of one image currently used in article checks out fine at Wikimedia Commons. Optional suggestions: Add {{commonscat}} to bottom of article in External links sect. Incorporate image File:Znaniecki 1918 the polish peasant in europe and america cover.png into body of article somewhere if you feel it's appropriate. Is it possible to add an image of the actual individual, a photograph? If not, no worries. Please update here when done with above. — Cirt (talk) 05:01, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

Done and done. I have never been able to find a free image, through I'd hope some lurks in some obscure Polish book and waits to be scanned (pre-1994 photos first published in Polish books without clear copyright notice are in public domain). All pictures floating on the Internet have unknown authors and date, making them tricky to use. I even contacted ASA about it, and they don't know where the photo they use comes from. Maybe someone could trace his descendants and inquire about any photos they have... --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:44, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

@Piotrus:, per WP:LEAD, the lede intro sect should be able to function fully as a standalone summary of the entire article's contents -- and this is a relatively longer article -- can you please expand the lede intro sect accordingly? — Cirt (talk) 17:37, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

@Cirt: I hope this is sufficient: [1]. I am not sure what else could be added there? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:59, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

Much better, thanks. Will do rest of review next. — Cirt (talk) 12:08, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

Successful good article nomination

I am glad to report that this article nomination for good article status has been promoted. This is how the article, as of October 15, 2014, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: Writing quality is pretty good for good article quality at this time, throughout the page. I'd suggest further copy editing in the future, from editors previously uninvolved with the page, for further quality improvement initiatives going forwards.

2. Factually accurate?: Duly cited throughout.

3. Broad in coverage?: Covers major aspects. Going forwards: some sects could use expansion. Including for example I'm sure there's more info from secondary sources to expand sects: Late U.S. career, Family, and probably also to expand sets Work with Thomas and Founding Polish sociology.

4. Neutral point of view?: Written in a neutral, matter-of-fact tone throughout. I was at first a bit leery on the Importance sect, but this appears to be drawn from secondary sources. Might want to try removing this sect in favor of incorporating it into the body text alongside descriptions of his works, just a suggestion.

5. Article stability? See above, passes here.

6. Images?: See above, passes here.

Certainly room for further quality improvement but good for GA quality at this time. A nice educational article on this deceased individual. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to Good article reassessment. Thank you to all of the editors who worked hard to bring it to this status, and congratulations.— — Cirt (talk) 16:49, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
