[edit] Empress Anna von Schweidnitz

For German -Holy Roman Empire queen and empress Anna von Schweidnitz, also queen of Bohemia (HRE state as well) google book search results shows Anna von Schweidnitz over 600, 300 Anne of Schweidnitz

Google book search result for Anne of Świdnica: 1 - ONE - result

Yet Wikipedia pushes Anne of Świdnica name with the 1 google book entry (a Polish book). And then you wonder, why so many people say that wikipedia is unreliable ? Wonder why 16 November 2007 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.137.206.167 (talk • contribs) 01:08, 19 November 2007

EB1911 called her "Anna, daughter of Henry II., duke of Schweidnitz" [1], a recent English book on Medieval History uses "Anne of Schweidnitz (Świdnica)" [2] while a recent book focussing on Czech Literature and Society [3] does not mention the additional, contemporary Polish place name. Recent English books also use the German form[4]. The Czech naming "Anna Svídnická" is not even half as popular as the German "Anna von Schweidnitz", but not in English. The Polish naming variants are virtually unknown, especially in English. Only one Google book hit uses a combination of Anne and Świdnica, and that is a 1933 vintage book of Polish authors in French. [5]. So the article needs to be moved to Anne of Schweidnitz. -- Matthead ^discuß!     O       04:20, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
