Heve You ever read Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names)??? You broke it changing name Szczecin to stettin. I'd like that You read it, especially "Use English" paragraph! As long as You will not proove that Stettin is "widely accepted in English" and better than Szczecin You should use "local official name". As for now there is no consensus in discussion You started to use Stettin as historical name in context of Slavic Pommeranian states. So stop changing it against the rules.

Before next change in Royal Castle in Poznań article poleas read Wikipedia:Consensus. It is very important rule. Radomil talk 07:17, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If Tou will recvert Royal Castle in Poznań once again I wolud be forced to ask for ban for You, cause of violation of Wikipedia:Consensus rule. Discusion You started about naming of Pommeranian Dukes and places doesn't give any result so Your edits are not justified. Radomil talk 15:22, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I see that You never heard about good manniers in discussion... As lon as discussion isn't over we should keep pre-discusion status quo. It mean that I do not making my corrections in Dukes of Pomerania, and You should do this same in Royal Castle in Poznań. We can disagree in many things but at least keep respect to each other. Assuming Your good faith I hope that You undarstand this. Radomil talk 18:20, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do You read this discussion? How can You think that there is consensus to which point of rule You cite this case apply? According to WP:NCGN it could be named also Szczecin and Słupsk! So Your edits are unjustified! You are not judge of Wikipedia to decide that You have right in interpretation of rules (nor I, so I'll wait to the end of discussion to, eventually, correct Dukes of Pomerania, You also shold do that). That's why Wikipedia:Consensus was established. Radomil talk 05:28, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You miss one small detail. Szczecin is not Gdańsk. As Wrocław or Cottbus isn't. According to Your idea I can change name of Dresden to Drezno in some periods, due to personal union between PLC and Saxony. Szczecin is mentioned (Talk:Gdansk/Vote#Results on VOTE: Cross-Naming General) but there is no mention in any place, that Stettin should be lead name in period that interest us.

But You still didn't proof that proper English name for Szczecin in 13th c. is "Stettin". Thats problem You didn't solve to make Your claims valid, You're easy ommiting important phrase widely accepted historic English name (You can't name Istanbul "Constantinopole" in 17th c. just because "Constantinopole" is widely accepted historic English name of this city in different period of history). You also just don't read continuation of rule Your cite: If neither of these English names exist, the modern official name, in articles dealing with the present, or the modern local historical name, in articles dealing with a specific period, should be used.Radomil talk 20:21, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
