Aside from that: Length is fine even when we omit that obituary quote. QPQ is done. Article age is fine. Hookiness is... reasonably hooky, I've seen worse (if I was more clear about what he meant by "96% attendance" in the Nolbrzak interview, I'd suggest adding it to the article and using that instead). Sources seem reliable (although I had to do some rearranging). I'm also not completely happy with what Google Translate gives for bydgoszcz.tvp.pl, but I'll assume Gerda is competent enough with Polish to make an accurate translation. No copyvio or plagiarism @Gerda Arendt:, if you're okay with ALT1? DS (talk) 04:11, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for the good review! The sentence is better but I was a bit unsure what "led" - from the English source - actually meant, that he made it possible, or additionally that he directed the opera. I avoided it to not lead the readers to the same ambiguity. As I know no Polish I have to rely on translation programs. Any help welcome. Piotrus? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:58, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
ps: he was first a bass, then also director, - that's not easy to get from ALT1, so: could that also be helped? English not being my first language, I'm really grateful for wording help, always. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:01, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
While the article may benefit from some c/e, it passes DYK requirements (date, size, hook, etc.). Btw, the ping didn't work for some reason, I found this by pure accident. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:20, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
