Talk:Mindaugas

message: I'm going to have to fail this, particularly on account of the prose. Please don't interpret this as an attack (I'm just trying to suggest how to fix the prose problem) but the article reads like it was written by a non-native english speaker. A lot of the prose is awkward as a result. Tagging the page with Category:Wikipedia articles needing copy edit, or ask Wikipedia:WikiProject League of Copyeditors for assistance might be helpful, but if you want to try it yourself, some particular problems (this is not an exhaustive list) are:
Mindaugas (approximate English transcription [ˈmın.dəʊ.gʌs], simplified Lithuanian transcription [mindaŭgas]; also known as Ruthenian: Миндовгъ (Mindowh), Belarusian: Міндо́ўг (Mindoŭh), Polish: Mindowe, Mendog) 
:Just say IPA if you're going to use the IPA, and also, when you say, "Also known as ..." Do you mean also known as such-and-such in such-and-such-language? It's kinda awkward as it is.
The first conclusive evidence that the Balts were uniting... 
Concerning the first paragraph, I, a layperson, who has absolutely no knowledge about anything Lithuanian, don't understand at all what's it's talking about. Why are the balts not united to begin with? Who are these dukes and where did they come from?
July 6th is now celebrated as "Statehood Day" (Lithuanian: Valstybės diena); it is an official holiday in modern Lithuania.
:I can see how this relates, however the prose doesn't smoothly work it in. Say somthing like, this day, July 6th, is commemorated in the modern lithuanian holiday, "Statehood Day."
Beyond this, this article simply doesn't have a lot of context. A layperson doesn't understand what effect this guy has on the flow of history. 
One last comment. Why exactly is it that Image:Mindaugo aktas su antspaudu.jpg is tagged as Public domain because the author died 70 years ago? It's a color photograph, so it can't be that old, and the copyright on the photo is still intact, even if the copyright on the object isn't. Thanatosimii 21:10, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Well general perception is that pictures, apart from maps perhaps, should not have predefine pixel size. M.K. (talk) 18:57, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed this, as no ref so far: Vykintas died in 1251 or 1252, and Tautvilas was forced to rejoin Daniel of Galicia. M.K. (talk) 10:31, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

text: It's pretty close here. Thanks guys! One thing - a ref for DOB 1203. It may be in one ofthe other refs, but am not finding it. I think ca. 1200 is better for the lead, since that would cover both possible years. Later, Novickas (talk) 14:34, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I actually have not seen 1203 in any literature. Usually it just says ca. 1200. The date was introduced really long time ago. Renata (talk) 15:17, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

'Mindaugs'
Žemaitėška Wikipedia also writes 'Mindaugs'. Shouldn't be the name included in the list?
