[edit] Name

Would it not make sense to change "Confederation of Bar" to "Bar Confederation," by analogy with "Targowica Confederation" and "Warsaw Confederation"? I tried to, but was unable.

In general, in English names, where possible, it's best to avoid using "of" and similar superfluous words. It's a practical matter: "Prayer of the Bar Confederates" loses in gracefulness if it's forced to become "Prayer of the Confederates of Bar." logologist 09:01, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

Be bold and move it, I think it is a good idea. Same with those three communist-era events we talked about, there seem to be nobody else interested in this anyway.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 16:48, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
