• 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))?

  • "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. PeepP 16:07, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
  • 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 Lituanus 16:59, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
  • 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/talk 00:06, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

  • 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. --Pēters 06:35, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
    • 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 Cedriņš 09:47, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
