• ... that the death of Polish philosopher and WWII resistance member Jan Gralewski is surrounded in controversy? Source:multiple sources
  • ALT1:... that Jan Gralewski, Polish philosopher and WWII resistance member, died in the controversial 1943 Gibraltar B-24 crash? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (and [link] the source, or cite it briefly without using citation templates)

Interesting, strangly death more than life, on good sources, Polish sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. None of the hooks works, sorry, the first is too general, the other not certain. I am sure you can word in an ALT2 that the fact of ALT1 is questioned by historians. I shouldn't word it, or can't also approve. I made minor changes to the article, please check. I never need more than 3 refs for one fact ;) - How do you feel about an infobox? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:38, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

I don't think that the main hook is 'too general', but here are few more ALTs, but I am a bit uneasy about giving undue weight to what are, in essence, conspiracy theories repeated by minor historians. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:40, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

• • ALT2:... that Jan Gralewski, Polish philosopher and WWII resistance member, likely died in the controversial 1943 Gibraltar B-24 crash?
  • ALT3: ... that some have disputed whether Jan Gralewski, Polish philosopher and WWII resistance member, really died in the controversial 1943 Gibraltar B-24 crash?
  • ALT4: ... that the wife of Jan Gralewski, Polish philosopher and WWII resistance member, was one of those who questioned the circumstances of his death in the controversial 1943 Gibraltar B-24 crash?

(if someone was to create the article on his wife we could have a double DYK, also @SusunW:)

• Pinging Gerda Arendt to see whether she wishes to continue the review. If not, I can try to find a new reviewer. Not sure whether the ping to SusunW above will have worked with the sig before the ping rather than after, so trying again. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:45, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

Thanks BlueMoonset, I did not get the previous ping. Will see what I can do on the wife, but don't hold up the DYK for it unless Piotrus just wants to. I have an article I am working on today and will have to gather sources, as I never translate from other wp. SusunW (talk) 13:28, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

I like all three ALTs. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 04:59, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

Fine if with a link to his wife, but I suggest you go for a seperate hook for her, to do more justice to her, SusunW. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:35, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
