GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
It is reasonably well written.
a (prose):  b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): 
Should "king" be capitalicized? Sounds like a proper noun to me.
Standardized to non-capitalized version. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 18:25, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
"ending the last Russo-Polish War.[1]" - not sure if I understand correctly, but there were many more Russia-Polish wars. Maybe remove "last" to avoid this confusion or replace with "latest"
Good point, fixed. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 18:25, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
"comprised part of Shein's army.[4]" - I would add "a" behind "comprised" for flow
Good point, fixed. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 18:25, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
"force of about 1,500 strong" - not sure if the "strong" is correct; is this standard in war-related articles?
I am not sure myself, I thought I saw it used in some other articles; if you would like to change it, go ahead. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 18:25, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
delink "pospolite ruszenie" in the second mention
"Cossack" should be linked here and the one in the second paragraph of the second section should be delinked
Done. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 18:25, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
Can you integrate "Shein's begun the siege of Smolensk on 28 October.[6]" into the next section?
Done. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 18:25, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
Should "siege" be capitalicized?
I think it can, some articles do it for the Battle of, and it is the same with Siege of. But I just checked and I don't see much capitalization of this word in the article? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 18:25, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
Why the bracket "Tymosz (Timofiy) Orendarenko"?
Changed to Ukrainian spelling. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 18:25, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
This and the other sections are ok
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references):  b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR): 
Non-English sources should be labelled as such
Done. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 18:25, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
Wrong formatting of Ref 7
ISBN error fixed. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 18:25, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
Several sources should be labelled as "pp" instead of "p"
Fixed. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 18:25, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects):  b (focused): 

It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias: 

It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.: 

It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):  b (appropriate use with suitable captions): 

Overall: Great article, just needs a few fixes before passing. --GoPTCN 16:52, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
Pass/Fail: 
Thanks, I addressed the raised issues. Is there anything I missed? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 18:25, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the corrections. I just ignore this "strong" for now :) Overall very interesting, good work! :)--GoPTCN 18:31, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
