[edit] Hi Halibutt

Since I described to you my position about Wikipedia's role in educating people, Pilsudski talk, "Pilsudski's Nationality"; those who care to read it, may see it there. If I encounterd 500 or 1000 English speaking people on the street, and asked them who Stefan Rowecki was, I doubt if I would get two who knew. So much for your edit summary, "C'mon Dan it's Common Knowledge" (have always disliked that phrase). I personally never heard of him, myself. There is a question mark (?) after 1944?, the year of his death. The statement that "he probably died" is not scholarly and rarely encountered in Encyclopedias. I'm not disputing this, just want to know where it's coming from. Does that bother you? Dr. Dan 01:15, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

You must've got my comment wrong. I simply saw no need to source a fact that is mentioned by practically every biographical note on him, which however did not stop me from properly sourcing it. Is it enough? As to the question mark, it means that the exact date of his death is unknown and not all sources agree he was killed in 1944. Feel free to reword that.
