:::As long as the historic name of that town is mentioned somewhere in the lead I'm satisfied. Bolding and putting it next to the modern name was a nicer option, but since it raises so much bad blood I could agree to a separate part of the lead. That seems like a nice solution.

Panie Halibucie, you should consider helping by expanding this city history or it's importance in Polish history, before adding not contemporary name to an article about Lithuanian District center. Altough you should remember, that this city was allways GDL, like Seinai.--Lokyz22:42, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Then please be informed that, besides having a significant Polish population prior to 1945, the town was also a part of Congress Poland for some time, not to mention a period when it was part of the Kingdom of Poland prior to partitions. But if that's not enough, check what was the name of the town king Stefan Batory granted city rights to in 1581... //Halibutt10:52, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Well, in all similar cases I was instantly reverted, so perhaps I'll better stand back and wait for others to correct it? After all I'm just a POV-pushing polish nationalist... //Halibutt13:41, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Self portraits are usually the best likenesses. Couldn't have described the antagonist much better myself. Slightly revealing that "polish" was un-capitalized. Must have been a typo, rather than a Freudian slip though. Dr. Dan14:12, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Halibutt, in the future, please follow the guidelines in Misplaced Pages:Naming conventions (geographic names) "Alternatively, all alternative names can be moved to and explained in a "Names" or "Etymology" section immediately following the lead, or a special paragraph of the lead; we recommend that this be done if there are at least three alternate names".
