Polish proverbs

Created by Piotrus (talk). Self-nominated at 05:54, 30 August 2021 (UTC).

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: It was rather easy this time. The article is new* and long enough, sourcing is fairly good, no neutrality or plagiarism issues. The hook is approved. Basically, no objections to the nomination, the article just makes it. (* just a sidenote: you didn't really create it; rather, you converted the article from a redirect. That's not an issue for me, because you've done so within 7 days of the nomination, but you should have written redirect in front of status, rather than new.). PS. I've made some minor fixes in language - these did not influence the breadth of coverage. Szmenderowiecki (talk) 07:04, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

@Szmenderowiecki: Good point. You've become quote a wiki expert in your few months here, impressive! --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:22, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
  • @Piotrus and Szmenderowiecki: I'm happy to promote this hook, but proverbs are pithy, and that naturally lends itself to a hook, so this may have room to improve. How about:
ALT1: That the oldest known Polish proverb, dating to 1407, translates to "when bast can be torn, then tear it"?
I'm happy to go with the old one—let me know what you think! theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (they/them) 06:19, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
Probably ok, but capitalize Polish :) --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:34, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
