The categoriation is clearly insufficient: add category for Polish RC priests, Benedictine monks - at the very least those are some I see from the very first sentence of lead and are missing. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:17, 12 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

I also added Category:Beatified people, I think it can be refined into better subcategories. Good job so far! --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:36, 13 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
I saw that category, but didn't think I could add him there, since the process has been started, but not completed. Let me know what you think. Neil916 (Talk) 09:44, 13 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
Good point. I think we need a category for people whose process has started but not finished yet, I encourage you to create it. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:59, 14 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

This evening, I located digital version of a book published in 1881 about Bernard. It's long and detailed, but it is entirely in Polish. Transcribing it and translating it mechanically has been tedious and I've only gotten a few pages into it. Can any native Polish speakers take a look at it and see what useful information can be cleaned from it, especially biographical information and a brief summary of the miracles that are attributed to him, aside from the Grodziskie one that is already mentioned? (or maybe even more info about that)

The book appears to contain a lot of information that is not mentioned at all in the current form of the article, and seems to disagree with some of the dates as well.

The book is located at [1] and I've named a reference in the article with the <ref name="Chwaliszewski" /> tag, but we may need to start tagging page numbers. I've gone through pp 1-5. Neil916 (Talk) 07:14, 16 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

I can help, but it will take some time. I'd say it's hagiographic, rather than biographic, material, but it can still be useful as long as we remember than it may not be perfectly neutral. It also seems old enough to allow us to copy illustrations into the article. For now, you may want to withdraw the GA nomination and re-nominate once the article is expanded with information from this new source. — Kpalion(talk) 11:07, 16 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
