I believe that this article should have appropriate name Mikołaj Radziwiłł the Black not "Czarny" M.K. 17:56, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

I agree. The Polish language book sources use the current name. In the English language book "The History of Lithuania" by Z. Kiaupa, he is called Nicolaus Radvila the Black. Juraune 06:24, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
Mikołaj Radziwiłł the Black seems better - this is English wiki and we should translate nicknames.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 14:13, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
Moved to "the Black." Renata 00:22, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
What is the reason to place "the Black" (the Red et.) in the middle of the name???? M.K. 13:53, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
Some sources use it in the middle, some at the end. Feel free to do a numerical comparison.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 15:42, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
As far as I understand that's how nicknames are treated in English language. E.g. Richard "Dickie" Simpson. No? Renata 04:21, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
Not necessary. Maybe native English speaker could help a bit. Does any body know such? M.K. 18:34, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
