[edit] Splitting up
I would like to split this article up into two completely separate ones - there is no real common thread between Biscay and Paris. Does anyone have objections to Right Bank referring uniquely to the Paris Right Bank, and Right Bank (Biscay) becoming the page for Biscay? Stevage 22:31, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Dneiper River
I removed the follow from the page:
- The Right Bank of the Dneiper River which Polish nationalists have long claimed is a part of historical Poland, but which is today part of the nation of Ukraine.
as that seems impossible geographically. If the contributor could explain what he means, that would be helpful. -Acjelen 01:30, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

- That would be the land on the right bank of the Dneiper River. Travel west. Stop at the current Polish border. I agree that it could have been worded differently.
- Typically, one debates on the Talk page before making wholesale reverts of new material. I do not wish to get into a revert war, though. I'll move on to other projects. I would suggest that you read some Ukrainian, Polish, and Belarus history to learn more. Cheers! Historymike 00:59, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

- It occurred to me just now that the source of the confusion might be the term "Right Bank." The "right" and "left" of a river are not map-based, but when one is looking downstream. Historymike 12:18, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, I was concerned about the distance, the amount of territory that is, rather than right versus left. All of the other X Bank terms describe rather narrow and localized land, often in cities. Even the West Bank is tiny compared to the land between the Dneiper and Poland. Do historians and nationalists use the term "right bank" to desribe this area? -Acjelen 17:57, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
