Thank you for your edit. Now all we need is for someone to start the Lyuban, Belarus article. כתיבה וחתימה טובה --Redaktor 13:14, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why Lemberg??

You've changed a name of Lwów to German Lemberg, but You haven't done that with Kraków. If (as you claim) Lemberg was historical name (in German) so also You have to change all names of Kraków into Krakau. In my oppinion we cannot name cities after occupants. In example we should change Moscow to Polish Moskwa because it was occupied by Poles 1612-1614. I don't want to change current Ukrainian name of Lviv. But the historical name after 1945 was "Lwów". Even official language in Galician Authonomy was Polish. The city was a seat of Polsh administration, and Polish Sejm. And most imprtant - a majority of population of Lwów was Polish until brutal expulsion after 1945. (Majan (talk) 21:41, 14 February 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Point taken. It is not something that really bothers me, but when I saw all the edits and didn't understand them, my reaction was "WHY?". Well I guess I understand what you are saying, but it seems that you and Catgut are in a revert war about this, and I will keep my distance. KosherJava (talk) 21:51, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
