[edit] Merge

I don't see why this needs to be a separate article. Why not merge it into Berlin State Library?-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk} 19:01, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

PP, you must be kidding. Or trying to make all references disappear. The articles may only be merged when the Poles have "merged" all of Berlinka (seized German art) back to Berlin. Or when Silesia has been merged back into Germany, whatever comes first. -- Matthead  DisOuß   12:30, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

I've removed the merge tag; although the Berlinka came from the Berlin State Library, it is separate and distinct, and has its own set of political implications. DS (talk) 15:29, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Any Polish speakers to verify that Berlinka means from Berlin? --dnik ► 23:19, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

It's a loose connotation, based on making an adjective from a noun (Berlin). I believe I addressed this on some other Talk:Berlinka, try asking at WP:PWNB for more comments.--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 23:47, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

You don't need to speak Polish to read a dictionary. You will find that Berlinka obviously means pertaining to Berlin, but also can denote a barge or a type of sausage. 82.36.26.70 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 12:23, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
