What is the connection between Hungary and Oder? Hungarian names should be included for Slovakia. Xx236 07:05, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Inconsistent Nomenclature
After rereading the archives, I fail to understand why the current header for the article is inconsistent with other articles with multiple language names. A localized Google search along with other mediums clearly shows the name Oder being the preferred English name (the reasons for which are inconsequential). Whether or not that is offensive to Poles is inconsequential -- it is the preferred English name and as such should be used on the English Wikipedia. If there were a city named 'Kurwa' in the United States, should we change the name so that it is not offensive to Poles? No. We should not be arbitrarily changing geographic names on Wikipedia to suit the needs of the few, but rather to meet the requirements of the many -- if the majority of native English speakers (note, native) prefer the name 'Oder', which it seems to be, then the name is Oder. You are free to discuss. Antman -- chat 08:46, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think anyone's arbitrarily changing anything - the first sentence just isn't worded very well. Can you improve it?--Kotniski (talk) 08:52, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, I see you have. Looks fine to me.--Kotniski (talk) 08:55, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * In the archives, it seems people wanted Odra to be the primary name because the river is primarily Polish and Czech -- the problem with that is the river has an English name. That's why I mentioned arbitrary changing. Antman -- chat

Szczecin Lagoon
Dziwna, Świna and Peene are not 'three branches' of the Oder, since the Szczecin Lagoon is not a lake, but a part of the Baltic Sea. These three are straits that connect the lagoon to the open sea. That's a common mistake made not only by Poles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.30.115.24 (talk) 12:38, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
