Title
Gosh: Not a, or The Poland - just ol' Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (hence First Partion of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth). Should we stick to the established historic and legal name?--Lokyz (talk) 23:05, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
- P.S. I do know that the state name beginning of L does drive some people insane.--Lokyz (talk) 23:09, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
The name First Partition is rather ridiculous, as per Disk partitioning. In popular language First partiton is more common referring to partitions of HDD. Should we move it to a longer but more relevant name?--Lokyz (talk) 09:44, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
- Seen the hook "... that Frederick II of Prussia was elated by the First Partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth?" on DYK, and knew exactly who wrote that. I guess some day, this article will be split into three, so that all three partitioners can get their fair share of blame on DYK. Never mind the Polish Sejm playing along nicely. Besides, no before&after maps illustrate the partition. And the source, Dr. Edward Henry Lewinski Corwin as Google Books author was, as I found out while editing Globus Jagellonicus, a New York based public health expert who wrote the amateur history book "The Political History of Poland, 1917" during WW1 to promote NPoV among the Entente (and on Wikipeda). According to TIME, he was in 1930 the "Stoutly Acting Chairman" of a "Committee of Twenty on Street and Outdoor Cleanliness, a group of New York City medicos disgusted with the condition of their city's streets": "The appellation 'Ash Can Beauty Contest' " said he severely, "is not only facetious but fallacious insomuch as the contest is for a litter basket and not an ash can. . . . The litter basket is to be the receptacle for paper wrappers, newspapers, and other small discarded articles. . . . The purpose of the ash can is well known." - Thanks for sharing this info, Ed. He made some career and became an Executive Secretary in NY who according to the NY Times in 1915 showed up in a fancy dress dance given by the Tuxedo Club. Not even the Pinkowski-Institute knows much about him, yet pronounces him poles.org: physician, historian, lecturer. Guess I have by now written enough Wiki articles to be a historian, and enough talk to be called a lecturer by somebody? He seems to have been born in 1885 , so would have retired by the 1950s. In fact, he died in 1953, so is not yet dead 70 years, so some the pics from his book, uploaded to commons, should be deleted, as I understand. Enough to write a stub by now.
