[edit] Merge
I think that the contents of Kaczynski and Kaczyński should be merged to a single disambiguation page, and one should redirect to the other. The pages are (so far) rather short, and it is just an inconvenience to have two separate disambiguation pages.
(One could argue that the title of the page should be "Kaczyński", as this is the more proper and original version, or that it should be "Kaczynski", as this is the way most English speakers will recognize and type the name).

[edit] Kaczka
Is it true that "the surname Kaczyński is derived from the (Polish) word kaczka"? The Polish page does not mention it. For all I know, the name may be derived from pl:Kaczyniec or pl:Kaczynek, two Polish villages. --Austrian 22:15, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
- I removed this claim. A reference to ducks would be more appropriate at Lech Kaczynski or Jaroslaw Kaczynski, since they are in caricatures sometimes portrayed as ducks. --Austrian 20:16, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
- Obviously, the villages are named after ducks as well, it would be pretty unthinkable for it to be otherwise. --KiloByte 07:09, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
