The Oder-Niesse line is very well known by that name in the United States. Of course, what it is known for is marking the border between Poland and Germany, established as such at the end of World War II, so it is natural that Polish people are sensitive about it. Nonetheless, it is not known as the Odra-Nysa line.
In other words, we should expect a number of edit wars between German chauvinists & Polish chauvinists to occur over territories that were formerly part of Germany for the foreseeable future?
I've peaked at the disagreements over the content of the Danzig article, & have to admit that I was scared off: one's ability to do research to get to the bottom of a disagreement is very limited over a dial-up connection.
