Talk:Trakai

message: I thought the old (wooden) castle was built by Gediminas in 13th century on peninsula in Trakai, and Kęstutis built his castle in Senieji Trakai only in 1321. Is this correct ? Lysy 12:05, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: This is correct - it was built on the lake Galve pennisula in *14th century* (1321 if to be specific). But I am not sure if Old Trakai and current Trakai belong to the same article - will think on that when this mess with names will (ever) ends. I think, that some sort of constant agreement regarding international names on ENGLISH wikipedia between Jews, Lithuanians and Polish is needed, since people waste energy in this and cry 'vandals!', even iof they have  not contributed a single line for aticles in question - typical old fashioned nationalism. Now I am sorting another problem - the genesis of Karaims. I have already fixed most of the changes introduced by some crazy nuts propogating and voicing Karaims that they are an Jewish sect of Karaites. Even if this would be true in any historic way (I will sort this out first), Karaims do not identify themselves as Karaites nor Jews (rather Muslims & Tiurks instead). Now working on this closely with Karaim representitive in Trakai DariusMazeika 12:41, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I would suugest that Old Trakai is described in a separate article, as this is a separate town after all. Otherwise it's going to be confusing for English readers. Lysy 16:43, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: Well, i suggest changing the coat of arms, because it's not the one that can be found on the city's homepage. And i suggest changing the "(Polish: Troki)" part to "(Lithuanian: Trakų)", and just mentioning the Polish name in the next section.

thread_title:  A bit outdated - the coat of arms, lack of Lithuanian form of the city's name 

message: I think you mention a wrong historical etnographical region in the top of the Artickle!
I think the region should be Dzūkija?--PerV (talk) 21:38, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
