Lysy! Could you be more specific about PL usage in this case? Thanks, M.K. 21:42, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

"The incident was prominently mentioned in "The Deluge", one of the best known Polish historical novels by Henryk Sienkiewicz." and of course, it was called Upita. Renata 21:51, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Lysy! Is it the case? You leaving name because you found it in Sienkiewicz works? M.K. 22:00, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Not only. While incidental, both in Polish historiography and culture it is well known name because of the Sicinski incident, which, while only symbolic, is often considered to be an important tuning-point in PLC history. As for literature, it's not only Sienkiewicz but also e.g. Mickiewicz in his "Popas w Upicie". Probably because Polish language has more influence on English usage than Lithuanian (for obvious reasons of scale and history), Upita is also encountered in English, e.g. here. I'm trying not to insist on Polish names in Lithuanian articles where it makes absolutely no sense, but here it does. --Lysy^talk 22:18, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

English map has LT name in it. I'm trying not to insist on Polish names in Lithuanian articles where it makes absolutely no sense I have a bit different account on this issue, but maybe next time I will show. M.K.
