Name of the article edit

While I admit that previous 'Magnate wars in Moldavia' is not great, the current 'Moldavian Magnate Wars' seems to suggest that the war were waged by Moldavian Magnates, while it was the Comonowealth ones. Any suggestions for a better name? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 11:05, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)

PS. The name was invented by me to describe the series of related conflicts that took place in and near Moldavia, and involved many participants. I will list other names as I find them. Possible alternative is Moldavian war/Moldavian wars or Moldavian campaign/Moldavian campaigns. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 16:47, 13 November 2005 (UTC)Reply


I would propose "Polish magnate wars over Moldavia". Eugen Ivan (talk) 22:55, 30 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Copyedit edit

I have been trying to improve the English in the article a bit, but I know next to nothing about the topic, so I'd appreciate it if someone would look over my proofreading to make sure I haven't altered any of the intended meaning. I was pretty careful and tried not to change anything if I wasn't sure about the meaning. Everyking 22:14, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Subchapters edit

Piotr, maybe you should consider dividing Chapters into Subchapters, so they'd be easier to follow. I could do it, but I don't want to botch it (as I have only reviewed it, and not actually researched it). Perhaps: "Preparations" etc. to "Aftermath" for each section? Your call.Dahn 18:06, 13 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

Links to other articles edit

Also, Piotr, I don't think you should link different versions of the same word, especially since they lead to the same article (like Inflanty and Livonia). Stick for just one. Dahn 18:06, 13 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

True, feel free to unlink the redirects. They are relics of the time there was no article on the subject, so I linked various names hoping to see one getting blue sooner or later. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 18:14, 13 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

Less ORish name edit

What aboout Polish-Hapsburg-Ottoman struggle over Moldavia? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 20:47, 10 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

12 years later, per pl wikipedia and Zdzislaw Spiralski, Awantury mołdawskie, Warszawa: Wiedza Powszechna 1967, I think the term Moldavian Ventures would be best. The translation is based on [1]. Ping User:Nihi novi - how does that sound to you? PS. The article was originally created by me under Magnate wars in Moldavia ; the title was then changed to "Moldavian Magnate Wars" by User:PZFUN ([2]). My concern is that the current name is de facto Wikipedia OR; such a term is not used in historiography. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:00, 28 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
