[edit] Name of the article

While I admit that previous 'Magnate wars in Moldavia' is not great, the current 'Moldavian Magnate Wars' seems to suggest that the war were waged by Moldavian Magnates, while it was the Comonowealth ones. Any suggestions for a better name? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 11:05, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)

PS. The name was invented by me to describe the series of related conflicts that took place in and near Moldavia, and involved many participants. I will list other names as I find them. Possible alternative is Moldavian war/Moldavian wars or Moldavian campaign/Moldavian campaigns. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 16:47, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Copyedit

I have been trying to improve the English in the article a bit, but I know next to nothing about the topic, so I'd appreciate it if someone would look over my proofreading to make sure I haven't altered any of the intended meaning. I was pretty careful and tried not to change anything if I wasn't sure about the meaning. Everyking 22:14, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Subchapters

Piotr, maybe you should consider dividing Chapters into Subchapters, so they'd be easier to follow. I could do it, but I don't want to botch it (as I have only reviewed it, and not actually researched it). Perhaps: "Preparations" etc. to "Aftermath" for each section? Your call.Dahn 18:06, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Links to other articles

Also, Piotr, I don't think you should link different versions of the same word, especially since they lead to the same article (like Inflanty and Livonia). Stick for just one. Dahn 18:06, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

True, feel free to unlink the redirects. They are relics of the time there was no article on the subject, so I linked various names hoping to see one getting blue sooner or later. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 18:14, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
