Staszewski (left) carries a rainbow version of the Polish flag at the 2018 Częstochowa equality march

• ... that the Polish LGBT activist Bartosz Staszewski was accused of desecrating the national symbols of Poland for creating carrying a rainbow version of the Polish flag (pictured)?

  • ALT1:... that the Polish activist Bartosz Staszewski created a photo series of LGBT people who live in LGBT-free zones? Source: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/as-it-happens-monday-edition-1.5458268/activist-fights-homophobia-in-poland-with-photo-series-of-lgbt-free-zones-1.5458271

• Comment: Including the image for ALT0 is important, because many readers won't know what the Polish flag looks like.

• ALT1 seems to be more on point. The main nomination is a bit too long and confusing, while ALT1 provides a clear and direct contrast. Might be good to include a map. The article itself seems to satisfy all the criteria. --Andrei (talk) 07:53, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

• Andrei, I appreciate the feedback but as you are the main creator of the article we need an uninvolved editor to review it. (t · c) buidhe 08:16, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

• Oh, I see. Thank you! --Andrei (talk) 18:24, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

• Comment if the image of Staszewski holding the flag is to be used, it should be more tightly cropped: there is a lot of visual noise in the image, and lots of random people. The focal elements needs to be clear at a glance. --Animalparty! (talk) 17:43, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

  I tried to crop it better --Andrei (talk) 07:05, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

• Going to review this. Vincent^LUFan (talk) (Kenton!) 17:41, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
• I am sorry, but the picture just is not fit to be featured; the cropped version still has too much noise.
• With a basic check of sources, his birthdate is already not in the source. Source number 2 looks more like a primary source. The march was banned on 9 October (a day later). What is reference number 14? Please fix all of the source issues.
• Copyedit is needed on this article.
• The first hook does not have its reference cite that specifically Bartosz made the flag.
• Merging discussion still in progress.
• @Buidhe: @Andrew J.Kurbiko: hope this helps. Vincent^LUFan (talk) (Kenton!) 18:05, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

A rainbow version of the Polish flag

• User:Vincent60030: Thanks for your review.
• The birthdate was correctly cited when nominated [1] I'm not sure why some editor added it, despite WP:DOB and not being in the source. Now fixed again.
• Primary source is acceptable for what it's being used for.
• The article states that the decision was made on Monday, i.e. 8 October 2018[2], and that the march was scheduled for 13 October (5 days later).
• Ref 14 was fixed.
• Merging was done by Onel5969, now the tag has been removed.
• Hook edited to reflect source
• New image suggested (right) (t · c) buidhe 04:26, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

• Thank you very much for addressing the issues promptly, Buidhe. However, based on the source given, it was stated that a statement was given blah blah on Monday, 8 Oct. The article later stated that "a day later, the march was banned" so it's 9 October. Correct me if the translation was wrong and that I should AGF. And the new image is good! It should be within copyright policies as well for being originally drawn. Vincent^LUFan (talk) (Kenton!) 08:57, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

• OK, I think you are right. I found another source which clearly states that the decision was 9 October, so I fixed it in the article. (t · c) buidhe 22:29, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

• Nice! We're good to go now! ALT0 is preferred. Vincent^LUFan (talk) (Kenton!) 07:45, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
