[edit] Name

I took the liberty to move this article back to Lipka Tatars. These were and are associated not only with Lithuania, but also with Poland, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and even Russia. Instead of calling them Polish Tatars or Lithuanian Tatars let's stick to the universal name, shall we? Halibutt 12:58, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

A good idea, And whoever moved it without discussing, pls do not do it again. No one insists on cumbersome WP:RM every time. But to float the proposed moves at talks for a couple of days and give the interested parties to react is a common courtesy we are used to be expecting. --Irpen 20:27, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Origin

In the article (2008-03-15) is written: their origins can be traced back to the descendant states of the Mongol Empire of Genghis Khan - the White Horde, the Golden Horde, the Crimean Khanate and Kazan Khanate.

Article readers may be missinformed if Kipchaks / Cumans, Cumania and even Khazaria is not mentioned. --Тимур (talk) 08:30, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
