Talk:Konstantinas Sirvydas

message: Instead of arguing with Halibutt, some of you should appreciate his desire to copy edit your article. By arguing with him, you take away his abilities and the time he could spend on the many Polish articles in English WK, that need lot's of work and copy editing. I still hope to see some progress on the Wojna kokosza. You know Hal, BTW, Lithuanians call Hitler, Hitleris and Pilsudski, Pilsudskis. Why does that bother you so much (Juzefas Pilsudskis anyone)? Jerzy Waszyngton, which is how George Washington (check Polish link), is written in Polish, doesn't bother me at all. Dr. Dan 21:25, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Nobody argues with me here, I'm simply asking a single question and people respond to zillion of others, but not the one I'm asking. But it's not arguing, is it. And what is the Lithuanian name for Lublin? Use Talk:Lublin for that please, let's avoid OT, ok? //Halibutt 02:16, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

text: Knowledge of English is not exactly the same thing as knowledge of Lithuanian. You know, these are different languages. You might know how to say hello in English, but have absolutely no clue as to how to say that in Lithuanian. And my knowledge of languages has little to do with article on Konstantinas Sirvydas (better place would be User talk:Halibutt). The city of Lublin has little to do with him as well (Talk:Lublin is the place to solve your problems). And no, I don't have a problem with Lithuanization of foreign names as many nations do it. Czechs have their Danielle Steelová, Lithuanians might have Danielle Steeliene, I don't really care. My question above is pretty specific and is not why is this name Lithuanized but is this a Lithuanized name. Get the difference? //Halibutt 05:32, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know what does my Juzefas Pilsudskis remark have to do with this guy as so far there was noone to be able to tell me whether both names fall into the same category or not. As to Lublin, I will put it into the English article, but don't expect me to use Polish wiki, I withdrew from there long time ago and have no intention to return. Go and do it yourself. Really. Finally, next time please use appropriate talk pages. PLEASE. //Halibutt 07:48, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Copy Editing

message: As per above, I've been waiting for half a year for a single piece of evidence that the modern Lithuanian name was known to the guy in question. Apparently it was more than enough time to offend me a number of times, so I guess if there were any documents to support such a name, they would be presented. I took the liberty to move the article to his Latin name, the one he apparently was using himself. Hope Latin is the way to go for all sides involved. //Halibutt 03:56, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Controversial?! It's been half a year since the current title was controversial. Nobody was able to present a single piece of evidence to back up the claim that the guy even knew his "Lithuanian" name. Yet you still call it a controversial move? Jeez... perhaps I should've waited a year... //Halibutt 14:27, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Or perhaps I should consult WP:RM the way you did with the other articles on Great Lithuanians? LOL //Halibutt 15:16, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
