Talk:Union of Armed Struggle

Association or Union?

I see in many works ZWZ, specifically the Zwiazek part is translated as "Union" rather than "Association". Surely both interpretations should be given here? Also, "for" Armed Struggle, sounds much better (and makes more sense) in English than "of", even if the latter is the direct literal equivalent. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.94.216.38 (talk) 11:57, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

I strongly agree. It should definitely be "for," not "of." Nihil novi (talk) 10:56, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Requested move

As suggested above, "Union for..." described in the article's opening as more common than "Association of..."; also, suspect "Association of..." meant to be "Association for...". Sardanaphalus (talk) 11:07, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Unfortunately, Union for Armed Struggle is already occupied. I've posted a notice there to come to a consensus on how to resolve this.--Aervanath lives in the Orphanage 03:39, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

The Polish "związek" can mean "association," "union" or "federation." The word "walka" can mean "fight," "combat," "battle" or "struggle." Both organizations were clearly of a military nature; I therefore propose that:

"Związek Walki Zbrojnej" (founded in November 1939) should be "Association for Armed Combat";

"Związek Walki Czynnej" (founded in 1908) should be "Association for Active Combat." Nihil novi (talk) 05:40, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

That sounds fine to me, but I know nothing about Polish. Do we have any sources for what Polish historians usually use when writing the English names of these 2 organizations?--Aervanath lives in the Orphanage 11:06, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Name

"Association for Armed Combat" - not used in English: O; "Association for Armed Struggle" - used many hits. I am reverting the move back to the Struggle name variant.--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 20:22, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
