GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose quality:

   The second paragraph of the "Estates of Galicia" section starting with "The Estates were mostly conservative" needs to be re-written. The wording seems inelegant. Chris Troutman (talk) 00:57, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

   Since elegance is in the eye of the beholder, could you either suggest here or change the text directly so that it seems more elegant to you? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:36, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

   Done. Chris Troutman (talk) 20:03, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

   B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:

   I recommended specifying in the lede that "estates" referred to the nobility, gentry, and burghers that made up the congress. Chris Troutman (talk) 00:57, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

   Done. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:36, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. Has an appropriate reference section:

   B. Citation to reliable sources where necessary:

   Heavy reliance on one book. I'm waiting for a second opinion. Chris Troutman (talk) 00:57, 18 July 2013 (UTC) Reliance on a single source is passable at the GA level. Other sources will need to be added in order to pass A-level or FA nomination. Chris Troutman (talk) 15:05, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

   C. No original research:

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. Major aspects:

   So far as I can tell, this tells the major story. Chris Troutman (talk) 00:57, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

   B. Focused:

4. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

5. Is it stable?

   No edit wars, etc:

6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:

   no images yet Chris Troutman (talk) 00:57, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

   The best I was able to find is portraits of some of the deputies. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:36, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

   Good choice. Chris Troutman (talk) 20:03, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

   B. Images are provided if possible and are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:

   I tweaked the captions. Both images are past copyright. Both of the images depict deputies (members) of the sejm. Chris Troutman (talk) 20:03, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   On hold until issues are resolved. Chris Troutman (talk) 15:05, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

   All the issues are resolved. For A-level or FA review, this article will need to discuss more about the freedoms accorded this diet based on the Austrian war against Ottoman invasion. There's not much written about the diet itself, but I think better explaining the historical context would help. Chris Troutman (talk) 20:03, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
