ALT1 needs a couple words added ("his" or "a" between "abandoned" and "professional", "a" or "the" between "led" and "campaign"), but otherwise looks good (though it will need to be accepted AGF as I cannot read Polish). ALT2 needs an inline citation in the article directly after the sentence in which the claim is made. If you make these changes I believe the hooks will be ready for approval. No QPQ needed as it appears this is the first enwiki DYK (welcome!). AviationFreak💬 22:30, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@AviationFreak:, thank you. I have corrected these mistakes. I added also second source in English here. As for the source in Polish, it relevant only for the year 1983. Niegodzisie (talk) 23:39, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

for both ALT1 and ALT2, after looking at the Polish source more closely it looks good. AviationFreak💬 00:05, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
