Oskars Kalpaks. Needs PD photo and perhaps a PD photo of the new monument; needs expansion, please contribute (I'll be adding some later). Anybody knows if there is a substantial difference between Russian "Order of St. George and Cross of St. George, and if there is a way to verify what Kalpaks was awarded (the sources I have seen talk about both "Order" (Latvian: ordenis) and "Cross" (usually Russian))?

I've added a new category, Category:Lithuania Minor. It's because many articles, that are more or less connected with Lithuania Minor both in historical and in present sense (those are mostly geographic or biographic articles) had been unbound to one entity. Please use it in your new articles as well as adding it to old ones where necessary. Linas Lituanus18:14, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
"soolaleib" (literally 'salt bread') also has a meaning in Estonian - it's the party (any party) thrown on the occasion of someone moving into a new apartment or house. Not sure if it should be mentioned in the same article, or somewhere else (as is the Jewish tradition at the disambig page). Should also seek sources. PeepP16:07, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
If the tradition is not exclusively Lithuanian among not Slavic nations (I suppose, it should be Latvian too), the sentence about Lithuania should be revised, i think. More revisions are disputed. Linas Lituanus16:59, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
No, Latvians have same tradition as Estonians do, quick google search hints that guests are expected to bring presents, I have never atended such party, but I also know that my relatives are keeping small bag of salt at home as souvenir from such party to bring luck into home. -- Xil/talk00:06, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Saves me some work :-) I would wait for now, need to also work on Soviet reoccupation. While the occupying powers were different, I think it's important to have the original continuum (1940-1945) to get the full impact of the occupations and the dynamics that bridged them. Also to not repeat Molotov-Ribbentrop et al. ad nauseum. --Pēters06:35, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I completely agree with you, Pēter. I think the new article should be linked to at the top of the section, but the continuum is crucial. --Pēteris Cedriņš09:47, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Order № 001223 -- Mainly to have the text of Serov's deportation order available, not meant to be yet another historical article. Needs links to all the various Baltic history and occupation pages. A start. --Pēters06:09, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
A long line in all caps "ASIEWICZ TOMASZ WAS OSIEWICZ WHO MOVED FROM..." and an e-mail has appeared in this article, but mysteriously does not appear in the page history or the edit field -- how does one get rid of it? --Pēteris Cedriņš16:58, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
