[edit] The NIght Attack

Please change the name of Vlad III the Impaler to Vlad III Dracula, as it is mentioned in the Night Attack, the article which is featured On this Day. It is a matter of consistency and nothing else. It is not good to have Vlad III Impaler on the main page and Vlad III Dracula in the article. --Thus Spake Anittas 22:01, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Also, I don't think it should say that he attacked an Ottoman Empire camp, but an Ottoman camp. Otherwise, everything else is fine. --Thus Spake Anittas 22:05, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
