[edit] Suggested move
Based on my own research in third-party works, and seeing how this monarch is referred to on other Wikipedia pages, I recommend that this article be moved to the title Wladyslaw I the Short. Is there support for this move? --Elonka 21:47, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Comment
Whatever may be the case in Polish, Elbow-high as an equivalent of "ell" is good etymology but bad English. The English ell is twice the length to the elbow, 45 inches, 114.3 cm. (The length of the Polish unit should be sourced.) Septentrionalis 22:41, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
