Talk:Polish–Lithuanian–Teutonic War

Title

Is there a reason why this article has dates in its title? Are there any other wars called "Polish-Lithuanian-Teutonic War"? Appleseed (Talk) 19:00, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Names

Is there any sensible reason why Polish names have to come after every proper noun in the article? Yes, we know these places are controlled by Poland now, but these names are very distracting and I don't see the point of having them. Besides that, most of these places are German settlements on previous Prussian or Pomeranian territory ... i.e. nothing to do with the Polish language.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.215.149.98 (talk • contribs) 02:41, June 23, 2007

Name

There are no refs in literature to "Polish-Lithuanian–Teutonic War". Instead, there are only to the Polish-Teutonic War... --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 16:34, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

I do not know about the appropriateness of including "Teutonic" in the title, but as long as it is there, using a hyphen and an en dash is the only way of accurately presenting the relations between the combatants. There is no guideline in the Manual of Style covering this exceptional situation, but using Polish–Lithuanian–Teutonic War—from which location I have just moved the article back again—creates the impression of three combatants, which is, of course, false. The options are pretty limited here. Waltham, The Duke of 00:29, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Dashes Per WP:DASH:

"[Use en-dashes] as a substitute for some uses of and, to or versus for marking a relationship involving independent elements in certain compound expressions (Canada–US border, blood–brain barrier, time–altitude graph, 4–3 win in the opening game, male–female ratio, 3–2 majority verdict, Lincoln–Douglas debate, diode–transistor logic; but a hyphen is used in Sino-Japanese trade, in which Sino-, being a prefix, lacks lexical independence.)"

Since "Polish," "Lithuanian," and "Teutonic" all stand alone as separate words, they should all have the same dash. I suppose that having it between all three might seem to imply that there were three combatants, but having mixed dash/hyphens is even more confusing to me. Personally, I think that simply choosing a different name (i.e. one that does not involve this triple construction) is probably a wiser idea. If you need me, please post on my talk. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 04:06, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Name again Maybe someone from the associated WikiProjects can help. Considering the most common name policy, maybe some of them are knowledgeable about the most common name for this conflict. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:30, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Reference to financial backing by UBS

Is there any special reason to state "..and with financial backing by UBS, the ..." in the abstract of the article? There is no definition of what UBS is, from what I conclude that this is the result of vandalism with a reference to the UBS bank? If not, some extra clarification is needed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.136.33.219 (talk) 16:53, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Need an English Map

The map currently used in this article is in Polish, and so is of little use to most English-speakers. Can somebody please substitute an English map? J. D. Crutchfield | Talk 17:46, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

"Support: Hussites"

How could Hussites have played a role in this war when the war ended in 1411 and the Hussite movement didn't really take off until Hus's death in 1415?--205.172.21.143 (talk) 07:42, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
