I have a rather simple question: are the Lithuanian or Belarusian translations of his name really relevant here? Halibutt 06:38, May 23, 2005 (UTC)

As he played a role in Belarusian history, and there is literature about him in Belarusian, I suppose at least the Belarusian name would be worth mentioning. Moreover, the man wath also one of those who called themselves not Poles, but Litvin --Czalex 09:49, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Considering his participation in Central Lithuania affair, I think Lithuanian name translation is relevant here. What Belarusian literature do you mean, Czalex? Beacouse there is Polish litarature about Julius Cesar I don't think it is a valid argument for demanding that 'Juliusz Cezar' is added to his article :> --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 10:00, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Well, there is a notion in Lithuania to translate all names to Lithuanian by adding the generic suffixes of -as, -aite and -iene, regardless of the place of origin or ethnicity of people in question and regardless of the name they were using themselves. While I agree that the way they are referred to in Lithuania might be important in some instances (this article, for instance), I also believe we should work out some better way to mention it.

How about using a more descriptive manner, like the one I used for the current version of this article? Halibutt 11:50, May 23, 2005 (UTC)

Good idea. I like it. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 12:28, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Well, certainly better than adding the following to the article on G.W. Bush

George Walker Bush (born July 6, 1946; Lithuanian G.W. Bushas, Belarusian Джордж В. Буш) is the 43rd President of the United States...

You meant: "Belarussian: Ryhor Vandrounik Krak" :-) mikka (t) 18:30, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

And shouldn't it be Yura Vandrounik Krak? :) Halibutt 07:47, July 19, 2005 (UTC)
