Can we think this naming issue thorugh? I know that the formal name of the synagogue is Chevra Lomdei Mishnayot Synagogue. Problem is, as long as this is the name of the page, no one witll ever find the place on a google search. The page got exactly fory hits last month. http://stats.grok.se/en/200806/Chevra%20Lomdei%20Mishnayot%20Synagogue Most shuls, as you probably know, have formal names, and popular names, I.e., the names that people actually know them by, remember, and look up. I think Auschwitz Synagogue is the best name for this synagogue.Elan26 (talk) 00:51, 13 July 2008 (UTC)Elan26
Yes, I do know that Oświęcim is a town, and Auschwitz is a concentration camp. I have visited Oświęcim, which is a very pretty town the residents of which are, of course, not respnsible for what the Germans dis at Auschwitz. However, the name Auschwitz is not only the German name for the town of Oświęcim, it it the common english name for the town, and for the synagogue. It is the name used by the New York Times (Auschwitz Synagogue to Reopen, Bringing 'Hopes of the Future ...query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C07E1D8153DF935A25755C0A96E958260 ) the BBC (BBC News | Europe | Auschwitz synagogue to be rededicated news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/211411.stm ) and other English language news media when discussing this synagogue. This is an English-language encyclopedia. Therefore the name Auschwitz synagogue is correct.
It is also the fact that throughout Europe, synagogues regularly take the name of the town they are in, desipte the fact that they have formal, Hebrew names as the Chevra Lomdei Mishnayot Synagogue does. See, for example, Sarajevo Synagogue, Czernowitz Synagogue, Hobart Synagogue Old Synagogue at Canterbury...Elan26 (talk) 12:20, 13 July 2008 (UTC)Elan26

Help with Polish geography edit
Can you look at the problem I have at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wolpa_Synagogue. There are many, wonderful, detailed, illustrated sources on this synagogue. But, I am uncertain about the location of the town.Historicist (talk) 16:14, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Hello, SlavPoland. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Albert Stankowski, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Albert Stankowski to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.
If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page.
