text: Should be "the Thunder" in English. Juraune 15:49, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually it should be the lightning. Thunder(bolt) would be grom, not piorun. Just as with ORP Grom and ORP Piorun.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 18:41, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

text: I supppose, it should be "Thunder".Iulius (talk) 08:31, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Why? As I explained above, piorun is lightning, grzmot is thunder.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  17:56, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think Thunderbolt is more accurate. lightning is more "female" means sudden lightening of sky. Thunderbolt is translation of Polish Piorun and Lithuanian Perkunas and means lightening of sky with acusstic thunder. Lithuanian God Perkunas (Piorun) like Zeus had thunderboldts in his celestial arsenal :). Ultimate argument for name of Radvila should be citation in English historical bibliography as well ...

message: This page does not appear to be in conformance with Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people). Should it be Krzysztof Mikołaj Radziwiłł (Reichsfürst) or something of that sort? --Flex (talk|contribs) 17:45, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

message: kokenhauski, solecki, żyżmorski, urzędowski, aiński, borysowski and nowomyski. could anybody translate this to a more understandable way? Iulius 06:29, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The good way to do it IMHO is 'starost of [city name]'. Unfortunatly those Polish adjectives do not always translate nicely into city names; at some point I'd like to a list to help us with that, like the one I did for Voivodes of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, but I still have not found enough refs for that.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  16:46, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Christophorus or Christopher Radziwil should be the name used by Wikipedia, see his signature in a book .
Why is Wikipedia featuring him under a Polish name of Krzysztof Mikolaj Radzill ?
Name should be moved to Christopher Radziwil(l) Observing (71.137.195.132 (talk) 17:45, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: People used to sign their name in Latin. So what? That didn't make them Latins.radek (talk) 18:34, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: So what??? People sign with the name they are known under. 
If he signed himself with the tong twister "Krzysztof Mikołaj "the Thunderbolt" Radziwiłł" as you and a few of likeminded people insist on, then please be so kind and enlighten us and post a photo right here

text: A lot of nobles used latin, which doesn't mean that was their primary language. As Radek noted, they were not Latin. Anyway, that's not his signature, but of Krzysztof Radziwiłł. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk  16:01, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
