Talk:Patriotic Party

A fact from Patriotic Party appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 29 August 2011 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the Patriotic Party of the late 18th century Great Sejm succeeded in passing one of the first constitutions in Europe influenced by the Enlightenment ideals?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2011/August. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Patriotic Party.

A small contradiction

At one point the article says: The Party worked to abolish the magnate and Russian dominated Permanent Council, but then it says During the Four-Year Sejm, the Party secured various reforms such as improvement of the territorial administration, establishment of the Permanent Council.

So was the Permanent Council a reform or was the attempt to abolish it a reform? Should that "establishment" be "abolishment"? My understanding of the role of PC is that while it was Russian created and initially Russian dominated some historians view it as overall a net positive, as such an institution (albeit not dominated by Russia) was needed. It was also the first sort of modern "cabinet" with ministers and such, wasn't it?Volunteer Marek (talk) 23:30, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch, fixed. And you are right, PC has a mixed reputation. One day, I need to rework that article, too :) --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me} 00:44, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
