Konstanty Wasyl Ostrogski

(

)

... that during the ratification of the Union of Brest, prince Konstanty Wasyl Ostrogski organized a meeting of the union's Orthodox opponents in a local Protestant church?

Source: All the hierarchs of the Kievan metropolitanate arrived in Brest [...], but they did not meet together. Instead, [...] the Orthodox bishops, [...] Prince Ostroz'kyi and several other princes met in a nearby Protestant church.

Oppose; the note contains factual errors. Magoscis is mistaken. The anti-Union synod did not take place in a Calvinist church, but in the townhouse of the burgher Rajski, which was the permanent residence of Ostrogski in Brest. Likewise, the pro-Union synod did not take place in the Brest cathedral, because no such church existed in the city, as the seat of the exarch was in Volodymyr, in the Dormition Cathedral. In Brest there was the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker [be], which the pro-Union bishop Hypatius Pociej closed for the duration of the synod.Marcelus (talk) 11:29, 16 February 2026 (UTC)
@Skoropadsky: Please address the above concerns. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 02:32, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
- I'm waiting for the source of information, but if it's true, maybe the hook could be changed for the episode with camels as the prince's gift to Henry Valois (if that is not a hoax as well? It seems one must be very careful with details mentioned in popular history publications).Skoropadsky (talk) 00:30, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

@Skoropadsky, Marcelus, and Narutolovehinata5: What else needs doing here?--Laun chba ller 16:41, 29 March 2026 (UTC)

@Skoropadsky, Launchballer, and Narutolovehinata5: I added relevant info with source in the article Marcelus (talk) 22:09, 30 March 2026 (UTC)

Full review needed now that article has been updated. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:40, 3 April 2026 (UTC)

I take, will review in the next 24 hours.--Laun chba ller 01:45, 4 April 2026 (UTC)

@Skoropadsky: Much to whinge about here I'm afraid. Firstly, no QPQ has been provided, though admittedly this is your first time needing one. There's a {{cn}} tag in the article and that needs resolving before this can go anywhere. Thirdly, I find the hook only marginally interesting at best and would suggest proposing ALTs. No problem regarding newness or length.--Laun chba ller 09:55, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

Given the lack of response to the above, not providing a QPQ within 24 hours of a ping, and other article issues, I am closing this. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 02:02, 8 April 2026 (UTC)
