Primary issues (added by the filing party)

The words "anti-Polish" were placed before Khmelnytsky Uprising in the Szlachta article.

User Korwinski has a peculiar and novel idea the Khmelnytsky Uprising was not anti-Polish, and so deleted the words "anti-Polish."

Ukrainian historian Orest Subtelny, University of Toronto, specifically characterized the Khmelnytsky Uprising as anti-Polish, using the specific words "anti-Polish" in his Cossack-Polish War article,

"Several Cossack detachments advanced west into territories settled mostly by Poles or Belarusians, and anti-noble and anti-Polish revolts also broke out there. ... Zhdanovych tried to hold the anti-Polish front but did not succeed." - https://web.archive.org/web/20180828200830/http://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CC%5CO%5CCossack6PolishWar.htm

The Orest Subtelny anti-Polish reference was placed in the article. User Korwinski reverted/deleted the edit containing the reference and the words "anti-Polish."

i undid Korwinski's reversion.

Korwinski undid my reversion, so on and so forth.

According to the references, although Korwinski does not like them and considers himself more authoritative, the Khmelnytsky Uprising was anti-Polish.

There's the Orest Subtelny reference above, and there's also an Encyclopædia Britannica reference, which Korwinski reverted/deleted:

"Tensions stemming from social discontent, religious strife, and Cossack resentment of Polish authority finally coalesced and came to a head in 1648. Beginning with a seemingly typical Cossack revolt, under the leadership of Bohdan Khmelnytsky, Ukraine was quickly engulfed in an unprecedented war and revolution. Khmelnytsky was a petty nobleman and Cossack officer who, unable to obtain justice for wrongs suffered at Polish hands, fled to the Sich in late 1647 and was soon elected hetman." - https://www.britannica.com/place/Ukraine/The-Cossacks

Korwinski's peculiar and novel position the Khmelnytsky Uprising was NOT anti-Polish seems to be contradicted by an eminent Ukrainian scholar and Encyclopædia Britannica. Krowinski's evidence for his peculiar position is the DELETE BUTTON for references contradicting his novel position, verbiage on the talk page advancing his particular ideas, and no references.
