The city now called Vilnius (Lithuanian) was called Wilna (Polish) during Kraszewski's lifetime. This should be explained or at least mentioned for English-language readers unfamiliar with the complex history of the region. And if the Gdańsk Vote of 2005-2006 may be taken as a guide, Vilnius probably should be referred to as Wilna in the article. – Sca ( talk) 12:57, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

to a family of Polish nobility (szlachta) of Jastrzębiec coat of arms.needs rephrasing, normally one doesn't say "a family of x coat of arms".
a gymnsium (secondary school) in Lublin; (gymnsium->gymnasium); additionally, there's no need to italicize gymnasium or add parentheses stating "secondary school".
Józef Ignacy Kraszewski spent much of his youth in the house of his maternal grandparents in Romanów.Is there any information why he did? If so, it would be good to add. Additionally, one of the sources talks about how his grandmother influenced him during this time and taught him French, history, and drawing; this could be added.
he avoided being concripted(concripted->conscripted).
in 1829, in Svislach in modern Belarus, he graduated from the Svislach gymnasiumNaturally, the Svislach gymnasium would be in Svislach, so either "he graduated from the gymnasium in Svislach" or "he graduated from the Svislach gymnasium". Additionally, I'm unsure that "in modern Belarus" is needed.
Doŭhaje [Wikidata] (Dołhe)- I think it's better to pick one spelling.
They had four children: Konstancja, born 1839; Jan, born 1841; Franciszek, born 1843; Augusta, born 1849.add "and" before Augusta
He has been described as "too red for the whites, too white for the reds".Who was attributed as saying this?
He was effectively stateless, having lost his Russian citizenship- when was he stripped of his citizenship? Was this when he was forced to leave Poland?
Magdeburg (in the Madgeburg fortress). correct misspelling of Magdeburg
Due to poor health, high profile of the case covered in contemporary European press- "Due to his poor health, the high profile of the case", contemporary can be removed.
Kraszewski's friends in high places- change to "influential friends", MOS:IDIOM applies
he was interred at "Saint Michael the Archangel and Saint Stanislaus the Bishop and Martyr Basilica- this can be cut down to just Skałka, no?
Skałka in the Crypt of Merit- add comma after Skalka.
several, to English, Italian, Lithuanian and to varios Scandinavian languages- varios->various
Miłosz further noted that- change "noted" per MOS:SAID
Miłosz drew a pararell between Kraszewski- change to parallel
Polish foremost painter- remove foremost, doesn't add much
primary focus of works- "in his works" sounds better
As most important novels wit that theme- add the before most, correct wit to with, and it fits better at the end of the sentence
Miłosz noted that the best of these are first two- I think opined is better here
Some of his novels have be en described as critical of Germany, reflecting a push against the policies of Germanization. Others were critical of Russia.- two notes: how were they critical of Russia? Does the source say? Secondly, the parts about criticism of Germany and criticism of Russia do not need to wikilink to anti-German sentiment and anti-Russian sentiment, as those articles talk about hatred of Germans and Russians specifically, and criticism of German + Russian policy is not the same thing as bigotry.
He became more religious after marriage (his relatives and friends included bishops Jan Paweł Woronicz and Ignacy Hołowiński and priest Stanisław Chołoniewski), - I don't think the "his relatives and friends" bit is really needed, as it doesn't say anything about his views about religion, just that he was related to them - one can't choose their relatives - or that he was friends with a religious person.
are seen as contributing to Lithuanian National Revival.- add "the" before "Lithuanian National Revival"
He also played piano and composed music (Pastusze piosenki, 1845). - maybe the translation into English could be added here, since the other works in Polish in this article are listed with their corresponding English translation.
He was the editor of the Gazeta Polska [pl] (1859–62, from 1861, renamed to Gazeta Codzienna). "from 1861, renamed to Gazeta Codzienna" can be removed, because it's not really relevant.
(often presudonymously, to avoid trouble with the Saxon government)- misspelled, change to pseudonymously
With his own funds he published a weekly, Tydzień Polityczny, Naukowy, Literacki i Artystyczny, but eventually gave up on the endeavor due to financial difficulties.- are the dates of publication known?
In 1868 he travelled to Switzerland, Italy, France, and Belgium. He published a travel account: Kartki z podróży 1858–1864 (Travels, 1858–1864).The two don't seem really related, as the travel account is about his travels before 1868; can the second sentence be moved to a different spot?
Beginning in the 1870s, he increasingly suffered from health problems.Which health problems specifically?
His novels have helped to spread literacy in Poland- this statement doesn't make sense to me, did the novels teach people to read and write?
his novels, intended as "ordinary bread", had little to do with the lofty Romanticism of his contemporaries and were an active factor, even as they are today, in the spread of literacy" (next sentence talks about popularity of his novels in Poland). Not sure how to clarify it. There is a wealth of sources in GS query 'kraszewski popularyzacja czytelnictwa', although I need to look into something particularly relevant. The point is, his books were popular and motivated people to learn how to read, to read more, and were used as such by teachers and educators (who preferred them over more difficult or challenging works - Kraszewski was effectively one of Polish most popular writers for the masses of the late 19th and early 20th century). PS. I've added some statistics, although they are for the 20th century. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:47, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
to Kraszewski's present era of partitions of Poland Saskie ostatki [pl] (Saxon Remnants, 1890)- remove present, put parentheses around Saskie ostatki
That series includes nine positions, out of which the most important are Historia Sawki- what does positions mean here? Should it be novels?
Ulana in turn has been praised for the "a bold and innovative analysis...- italicize Ulana, change to "its "bold and innovative..."
While Danek described the above four subgenres as Kraszewski's major directions, he also noted that Kraszewski, a very prolific writer, has written novels representing all major contemporary genres: romances, adventures, comedies, satires, memoires and their pastiches, gawędas, crime novels, psychological novels, sensation novels, and others.Change has written to wrote, as Kraszewski is no longer alive, so his writing career is complete: wrote. Additionally, I don't think this needs to have in-text attribution to Danek, as it is just a fact that Kraszewski wrote these novels.
representing all major contemporary genres:romances,adventures,...and others."I don't like the phrasing of this, as first it says "all genres", which feels definite, then it adds "and others", which feels definite. A rephrasing like "Kraszewski, a prolific writer, wrote novels representing many genres, including (and then list the genres here)".
although written in Polish languageChange to either "although written in Polish" or "although written in the Polish language".
he supported the cause of Polish independence, but opposed armed struggle, which in his literary works he thought unlike to succeed.I don't understand the last bit. Did he depict armed struggle in his literary works as unlikely to succeed? If so, the phrasing should be changed to "which he depicted in his literary works as unlikely to succeed".
Earwig doesn't flag any copyright violations; I don't see any original research, as all statements are attributed to the source; no signs of plagiarism.
Doesn't feel too in-detail, but covers all relevant points: his life, analysis of his works, and his legacy. Only thing that I would recommend removing is the names of all the monographs and primary source collections, as stated above.
Represents his views and views on his works in a neutral manner. As stated above, the wikilinks to anti-German sentiment and anti-Russian sentiment must be removed, as those articles are about dislike of the peoples, not criticism of state policies.
No edit wars or content disputes.
All images are in public domain, as far as I can tell. Copyright on photos of Kraszewski and his paintings are expired, and the images of the monument and homes are tagged as own-work by the authors. The caption "Kraszewski's extant house on Mokotowska Street, Warsaw" doesn't need "extant".
I will put this review on hold to allow for the addressing of the issues brought up. As I am a new reviewer, I will ask that another reviewer check this review to make sure that I have addressed all needed criteria and given a fair review. Jaguarnik ( talk) 22:03, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
