Re: Both great and field hetmans were Senators of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth

Actually, this is not true. As u can see in my article which is based partialy on this article in Polish:

'Hetmans were also considered ‘ministers’ but had no right to be sited in the Senat.'

If u have any information contrary to mine, plz post - if not, I will amend the wiki entry soon.


Errr..Emax, I think u wanted in in main not talk? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 22:37, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)

W zasadzie chcialem tutaj wsadzac obrazy hetmanow, wiec to nie byla pomylka;)--Emax 04:24, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Do Talku? Czemu? W artykule chyba lepsze miejsce? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 14:07, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Wpierw chcialem wstawiac portrety hetmanow (ktorych artykuly jeszcze nie istnieja) do siebie do galerii - pozniej postanowilem je jednak wstawiac tutaj, by w razie gdyby ktos stworzyl nowy artykul odrazu wstawil portret. Ale teraz sam odrazu tworze, wiec niema potrzeby wstwiac do mnie ani tutaj, brzmi troche skomplikowanie ;) --Emax 16:03, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)


[edit] Ataman

An anon added to Cossack artcl: or more likely derived from "ataman" in Turkish. And also added "ataman" here. What does in mean in Turkish, when did the word enter Turkish language; what is the relation with Haptmann? Mikkalai 18:39, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Am Heritage Dict through http://education.yahoo.com/reference/dictionary/entry/ataman and http://www.bartleby.com/61/21/A0492100.html confirms Turkish etymology.
This Turkish dictionary http://www.seslisozluk.com/ cites Russian etymology

[edit] Nonsense

It's really interesting what can be found on pages were certain people have edited, even though this jewel was written anonymously. None bothered to check, though. So, often used German words like "H/haupt" and "Mann" derive from foreign military ranks of which the etymology is not quite obvious? Or vice versa? --Matthead 00:21, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
