Talk:List of heads of state of Lithuania

List of Lithuanian rulers
Supreme Council or Supreme Soviet. I knew, that such usage Supreme Soviet exists and the article about it exists too. However the thing is bit different here. After 11 Mart, 1990 Lithuanian institutions unofficially in English were called: representative institution was called Parliament and the leader of both the Parliament and the State was called President. These terms were common and even prevailed in Western media. However official designations (used, for example, in translations of legislative acts) were the Supreme Council and the Chairmen of the Supreme Council. Being without any doubt heritage of Soviet times, these terms after 1990-03-11 were directly translated from Lithuanian language, not using Russian term Soviet (cf. names of parliaments in Ukraine, China). The main thing is, that such usage existed officially, and we shouldn't use different parallel names, even if they are more common and understandable. Linas 07:22, 2004 May 24 (UTC)

King Mindaugas II
From 9 July 1918 until 2 November 1918 Mindaugas II was a king-elect of the Kingdom of Lithuania. He never reached to rule, but must also be considered a head of state as long as one regards 16 Feb 1918 to be the day of Lithuania's independence. --Jakro64 13:01, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Is this article really a stub? Andres 12:35, 13 Jul 2004 (UTC)


 * Yes it is - it is missing information in section "Lithuania as part of Imperial Russia". Also, section "Lithuania as part of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth" is incomplete. Knutux 17:09, 2004 Jul 13 (UTC)
