(

... that the Cross in front of Presidential Palace in Warsaw became a focus of a major 2010 controversy regarding the relations between Church and state in Poland?

Also, we have a number of images, like File:Krzyż przed pałacem prezydenckim.jpg. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me} 23:44, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

Date and length of the article looks good. The article is cited with inline citations (would suggest the {{cite news}} template when newspapers are cited, and use for instance, in ref no 2, "|newspaper=The Guardian" instead of "|publisher=The Guardian". Some of the title fields might benefit from copyediting). Spot checks by Duplication Detector: Ref1 Ref2 Ref3 Ref4 Ref5 Ref8 seem ok. There are some issues with the hook, though. The hook says major controversy, which I can not find is directly supported and cited in the article. The article says, for instance, the cross provoked debate, and the lead summarizes It was controversial and provoked debate [...] (uncited). It would ease the burden on reviewers if the hook fact is more clearly recognized in the article. A comment on the nomination page might be helpful, indicating which statement in the article is meant to be equivalent to the "hook fact", in cases where this is not too obvious.

I added some refs, including on media coverage in Poland, and the word major to the article. I don't have a source that uses this exact expression, but I think it is a justified summary of the available sources. TE for example called it "a huge row". --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me} 04:09, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

I took the liberty of tweaking the hook for legibility (it had "focus" and "focusing" close to each other, and I also tried a shorter way to getting the meaning across). Dahn (talk) 15:23, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Good to go. Thanks for updating the article, and for the improvement of the hook. Oceanh (talk) 21:17, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
