[edit] Why POV

This article, a number of times, used words like noble, brave, reknowned, etc, which is quite inappropriate, rather like desribing a general as a badass or coward, etc. The opinion that Zurakowski was noble, etc, is self proved by his actions and medals (i.e. to win a V.M.) and be an ace fighter pilot.

Reply to comment: Where the term "noble" is used refers to the "noble Polish pilots" (not necessarily Zurakowski) that served in Britain, "brave" is not used in the article and the fact that he is renowned is not in dispute, the article is testament to that fact. IMHO, there is no POV here and I am taking the notification off. Your first recourse when you do such a drastic and damaging statement is to post on this discussion page. You did the opposite, placing a POV tag there without any discussion is tantamount to vandalism and is treated as such. Bzuk 01;35 22 January 2007 (UTC).
