Initial comments

Hi, I did some copyediting myself as I read along. Please check if I accidentally made any mistakes, and feel free to disagree with any of my changes. Below are some of my concerns that I couldn't figure out on my own. Thanks. ComputerJA (talk) 02:06, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• The related term Christianization of Poland (Polish: chrystianizacja Polski) is also used on occasion to denote this event, although it has also a wider meaning, referring to the subsequent spread of Christianity throughout Poland – Is this information mentioned in the sections? The Christianization of Poland is mentioned in the background section but there are no references to its wider meaning, as mentioned in the intro.
  • You are right, it's not. I usually prefer for lead sections to avoid having unique information, but in such cases (discussion of alt names) I think it is permissible. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:56, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• became established only around the 12th century – This implies that Christianity was only present in Pomerania for that century. Please change/remove the word 'only'.
  • I hope this is better? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:56, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• The preparations for the begun with the Great Novena of 1957, which marked a nine years period of fast and prayer – The sentence does not sound right. I think it is missing something after "for the".
  • Yes, added "millennial celebrations". --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:56, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• The baptismal mission began in the two major cities of Gniezno and Poznań, and then spread throughout the country – When was this? Does the source give an approximate date?
  • Nothing more precise than the date 966 for the baptism of Mieszko and his court. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:56, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Native clergy took three or four generations to emerge – Was this in Pomerania or in Poland in general?
  • Clarified. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:56, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• the Party was framing the celebrations as a secular – What is the Party? Is it the communist state?
  • Yes, added link. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:56, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sources review

Here are my concerns regarding the sources, thanks. ComputerJA (talk) 02:26, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• After reading source 1, I think it is important to add Miezsko’s son Bolesław I Chrobry on the article. It does not have to be an extensive mention; what the source says about him is fine. Thanks.
  • Done. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:56, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• After reading source 2, adding on how Dobrawa of Bohemia ordered the creation of some churches would be good, too. Preferably after "significant role in promoting Christianity in Poland [by … ]"
  • Should be more clear now. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:56, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
