Fort Pulaski

[edit]

I'm under the belief that Fort Pulaski was named after Kazimierz but I'm yet to find some information on that... I'm looking but if someone can find some solid info, please add it to this article (I've heard this while in Savannah - which is cited in the article). Also, we need a Fort Pulaski page. I've got royalty free images of the Fort so I can help there. JoeHenzi 03:45, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)

A movie reference

[edit]

As I recollect, there was a ship with his name in a movie "A year of the dragon", but I can't confirm it just now. I'm still putting the info on the page, since the movie is a cult and the name of the ship was crucial to the plot. Unregistered user (2005)

Intersex section

[edit]

I think the section on intersex should be included as it is well sourced, interesting and well documented. The article does disclose that there can’t be 100% proof positive that he was intersex but I think it balances out the hypothesis. It should not be located in the introduction or top section. I think it’s located perfectly in the article. Tentemp (talk) 03:02, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 21 April 2024

[edit]

PLEASE CHANGE "... who has been called "The Father of American cavalry" TO "who, along with his Hungarian friend, Michael Kovats, has been called "The Father of American cavalry"" Foltoscsiko (talk) 23:13, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, because "father" is singular. Seasider53 (talk) 23:20, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. The existing citation does not confirm that both are referred to with this title. Jamedeus (talk) 00:23, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Polish pronunciation as he would have pronounced it?

[edit]

Would Pułaski have pronounced his name with a dark l instead of a w sound for the slashed l? I think so, based on my reading of Wikipedia pages about the Polish l. If true, I think this is important information that the page should provide, along with the modern Polish pronunciation we already do (which is still relevant, assuming that people in Poland still occasionally talk about him still). It would be nice to get a source for this. Dingolover6969 (talk) 00:48, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I mean to say, of course, that if the modern Polish pronunciation of his name is different, it would also be nice to get a historically accurate pronunciation guide for how he himself would have pronounced his name. Dark l simply being the most dramatic change I noticed in there. Dingolover6969 (talk) 00:54, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
