Subject: [WikiEN-l] River names Oder/Odra and Neisse/Nysa
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.
