Peer review of Kočani nightclub fire?

[edit]

Hi. I just listed Kitty Marion for peer review ... I want to ensure it meets Featured Article standards before I nominate it for FA. You have a history-related article also listed at WP:Peer_review/Kitty_Marion/archive1. Would you be interested in reviewing each other's articles? Noleander (talk) 19:17, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Noleander: Sure! I'll take a look shortly. Grumpylawnchair (talk) 20:55, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I'll start on the nightclub fire article later today. Noleander (talk) 21:55, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Grumpylawnchair - Alright, I finished the peer review of the nightclub fire article at WP:Peer review/Kočani nightclub fire/archive1. If you can find time to do a review at WP:Peer_review/Kitty_Marion/archive1, that would be much appreciated. Noleander (talk) 18:53, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Noleander: Reviewing it as we speak. :) Grumpylawnchair (talk) 19:00, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Noleander: Done. Grumpylawnchair (talk) 19:11, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

GOCE edit of ToNiePokój escape room fire

[edit]

I am doing a GOCE copy edit on the article in the section headling. Question: Is there a reason that only first names of the individuals tried and sentenced in this incident are used? Just curious. Benetsee (talk) 18:19, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Benetsee: I used only first names because under Polish law, only their firstname and last initial can be released and I thought repeating the last initial would be redundant. If you think that using the last initial everywhere is better, feel free to change it. Regards, Grumpylawnchair (talk) 18:50, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This law is for convicted criminals/felons? I noticed the use of first and last names for the deceased girls. Benetsee (talk) 18:54, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes for convicted criminals. Grumpylawnchair (talk) 19:00, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I thought there must be some sort of legal reason - thanks for providing. Good article on such a tragic event. Cannot imagine how the father who talked to his daughter feels. Benetsee (talk) 20:15, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
