replies: text: and before anyone thinks of tagging this for speedy deletion again, please note that having a portrait painted by Holbein is the 16th century equivalent of having a blockbuster Hollywood movie made about you, so the subject is definitely notable.

message: I have yet to locate any Wikipedia policy on place names that have changed. However, usage can change quickly, especially during periods of political instability. 
The following advice, based on the Harvard Style Manual, comes is provided by UCL, School of Slavonic and East European Studies UCL ESS
* Use standard English forms for place names if they exist in current usage (Warsaw, Belgrade, Moscow and so on). e.g. The time-hallowed Cracow (for Kraków) is now yielding to Krakow. 
* Where standard English forms do not exist, above all be consistent as regards place names that have changed along with the regime or frontiers. 
* Either use the form current in whatever country the place is now located (for example Vilnius rather than Wilno or Vilna, even for the period between the sixteenth century and 1939) OR use the form which, in your judgement, most fairly reflects the period of which you write (for example Pozsony or Pressburg rather than Bratislava before periods before the foundation of the Czechoslovak Republic).
On this basis, I have changed the article to read Danzig (Gdansk) rather than the other way around. Danzig is used elsewhere in the article, so it would not be consistent to use Gdansk on the first mention, and then Danzig in subsequent mentions. BronHiggs (talk) 06:31, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Are the Giese of Danzig linked in anyway to the Guise of Nanzig? 

message: According to this article, this person was the son of this man, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albrecht_Giese , born in 1524, while he himself is supposed to have been born in 1492, pre-dating his own father?
I am not sure if it is an issue with this article, his father's or both.   (talk) 02:03, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
