[edit] Vilnus? Before 20th century?

What is the rationale for calling this old entity Vilnius Voivodeship? I'd rather think it should be Wilno Voivodship (1413-1795). For starters, there never was an entity named Vilnius Voivod(e)ship ([1], [2]). Also, I don't see any consensus for split and renaming at Talk:Wilno Voivodeship.-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  23:13, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

First of all article was merged in "Wilno Voivod." by you Piotrus without any consensus [3] in 2006.03.03. While on talk was left heated discussion with out any signs of consensus, but it not prevented you for merging the article. While yes by this move you stated I have merged the article and moved the talk page. Feel free to move it to Vilnius, but at least now we have one article instead of two. [4]. Am I right? By correcting your move I waited for contributors to state their opinion and as discussion shows nobody supported you and majority of contributors stated for move [5]. And article appeared in the slot before one sided merge conducted by you. And yes there are no hints for your suggestion for Wilno Voivodship (1413-1795) at all. M.K. 10:34, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

The entity was commonly called Vilniaus vaivadija at least for 250 years since 1413 and only for some 130 years it was officially known as Wojewodstwo wilenskie and it always been a heart of the GDL. I suppose you get the point of the current naming. Iulius 11:29, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
