The article is riduculously POV and needs extensive copyediting. --Ghirla -трёп- 08:37, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Royal not Ducal

It was residence of many kings including Casimir IV Jagiellon, Zygmunt II August, and Vladislovas Vaza. Why do you edit history articles you if don't have a clue about history? Accepted name is Royal Palace [1] Sigitas 12:07, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It cannot be called "Lithuanian Royal Palace" because this title implies that the palace was owned by the kings of Lithuania, of which there were none. If you provide reputable sources that the palace was called royal, I am ready to move the page to "Royal Palace (Vilnius)", as we have Royal Palace of Madrid, for example. "Lithuanian Royal Palace" is unacceptable and sounds like original research. --Ghirla -трёп- 12:22, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
When the palace was built, Lithuania was ruled by Grand Dukes, not Kings, so I agree that "Ducal Palace" is the right term.--Jcspurrell 12:28, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
:: Find one instance of "Ducal Palace" name for this building in google. Accepted name is Royal Palace, as it is called now, do not invent names. Literaly "Lietuvos valdovu rumai" would translate "Palace of Lithuanian Rulers", but in English it is called Royal Palace. Sigitas 12:43, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The article on the Grand Duke's palace in Luxembourg is called "Grand Ducal Palace, Luxembourg"

Title

Why don't we call the article Ducal Palace (Vilnius), in the same style as Royal Castle (Warsaw), Summer Palace (Russia) and National Palace (Mexico)?--Jcspurrell 12:41, 21 July 2006 (UTC) Or even Grand Ducal Palace (Vilnius)[reply]

Not essential part of national consciousness

"Following independence from the USSR in 1991, Lithuanians decided to rebuild the palace, as it was considered an essential part of their national consciousness."?! Ghirla, you abuse the word "original research" but personally you invent grand theories yourself. Rebuilding this palace in Lithuania is unpopular, it is child of ego of one particular polititian Algirdas Brazauskas. Sigitas 12:48, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
