• The pure text of the article makes it a borderline stub (1322 characters without spaces, 1568 with spaces). Is it possible to further expand it? The article looks interesting but it would require some additions on the Swedish part of the story. As for the sources, I didn't find anything about the battle in Robert I Frost pp.3 and is just a short introduction chapter, is there any other reliable English language source out there? Also the citation for the second hook is from a website, which is ran by a religious humanitary organization. Is it reliable enough for a history-related article? Are they experts of the subject? Apart from this I would go for the first hook as it seems to be a bit more interesting than the latter if it is sure that modern historians haven't come to terms with and revealed the true identify of the Polish commander yet.

• After the small expansion by Poeticbent it weakly passes the character limit. He also added a new source and some minor info on the Swedish' view. I say the first hook can go for it. Lajbi ^{Holla @ me • CP} 16:56, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
