Polish Armed Forces in the East was a good article nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There are suggestions below for improving the article. Once these are addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. Reviewed version: July 31, 2007

[edit] GAC

In looking over this article I came to the conclusion that it is not ready for GA status yet. The article needs a major increase in the number of citations and references. The article also needs to be reviewed for the clarity of the prose. In many cases the wording was hard to follow / confusing but I think that is a problem which can be cleared up in a short period of time. I believe that the article has potential but it is simply not ready for GA status at this time. If you have any questions feel free to put them here or on my talk page.

Could you add {{fact}} to the places citation is needed, and note here what is confusing? As a non-native English speaker and author of this article I'll be happy to provide more citations, but I like the prose as it is :( -- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  00:40, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wrong Name

Polskie Siły Zbrojne na Wschodzie and Polish Army in USSR was not the same. Polskie Siły Zbrojne na Wschodzie (Polish Army in the East) was the name after the evacuation from the Soviet Union in 1942. Polskie Siły Zbrojne na Wschodzie was under british command. --85.176.2.204 (talk) 12:19, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Polish Army Byelorusian Front.jpg

Image:Polish Army Byelorusian Front.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
