[edit] Name as it appears in reference works
This individual had several different names in different books.

[edit] Suggested move
Based on my own research in third-party works, and seeing how this monarch is referred to on other Wikipedia pages, I recommend that this article be moved to the title Wladyslaw I the Short. Is there support for this move? --Elonka 21:47, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Comment
Whatever may be the case in Polish, Elbow-high as an equivalent of "ell" is good etymology but bad English. The English ell is twice the length to the elbow, 45 inches, 114.3 cm. (The length of the Polish unit should be sourced.) Septentrionalis 22:41, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] five provinces
The list of provinces into which Poland had been divided seems to be missing some semi-colons. It currently appears to list six or seven provinces, not the five that the previous sentence claims (or is that number wrong?) -Dmz5*Edits**Talk* 02:40, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] His actual height
The title of the article suggests we will find out how high the king was. All we find is the length of an ell. Does anyone know it, or even have a good guess? Snezzy 09:07, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
- According to unverified sources about 130 cm Mieciu K 02:05, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
