The Polish language Wikipedia's own article on Albert, Olbracht Laski, patron of the Elizabethan scholar and occultist John Dee, is a tertiary encyclopedic source, cited here because no dedicated English language encyclopedia article on him was found. Its strength is that it is a reasonably detailed biographical account in his own native historiographical tradition. Its limit is the ordinary one for a crowd edited encyclopedia entry in any language: fine for standard biographical fact, not a substitute for scholarly biography, and a non-native reader should weigh a translation's own accuracy.
