[edit] House of Signatories

This article puts the house at 30 Didžioji Street, but the House article says Pilies Street. Novickas 14:44, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

30 Didzioji St. in 1918. Pilies in 2006. Street names changed :) Renata 14:57, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Was the Lithuanian "Didžioji" the official name of the street in 1918 ? --Lysy^talk 06:33, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Or is it the Lithuanian translation of the street name ? --Lysy^talk 09:10, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

I think Didžioji Street would be translated as "main street," while Pilies Street (Gatve in Lith.) is Castle Street. (I've walked down Pilies Gatve many times.) The interesting thing is, Pilies Gatve turns into Didžioj Gatve at a square, the name of which isn't on any of my maps. Near this square, the fomer Chodevičiai mansion houses the Vilnius Art Gallery. (Pardon my meddling in matters Lithuanian.) Sca 20:12, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] American English

Why is this article in American English? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.0.120.227 (talk • contribs) 17:40, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Why not?

BTW, a more usual title in (American!) English would be "Lithuanian Independence Act." Sca 02:35, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
