Hello all,
there is a dispute in several articles, whether the Oder/Odra river should be called by its German or its Polish name. The same for the Neisse/Nysa river and the Oder-Neisse line/Odra-Nysa line. I'd like to ask the community, which name is used more often by native English speakers. There are some annoying accusations in this dispute (see [[User talk:Taw|Taw's talk page]] for more details), so I would like to let the majority decide and end the seesaw changes on the relating pages.
Mirko.
