A disambig claimed that this battle was "also known as the Battle of Rakowitz". I can't find such a name used in English works ( [1]) but Swedish interwiki leads to sv:Slaget vid Rakowitz and German, de:Schlacht bei Rakowitz. Since I am pretty sure that neither German nor Swedish name for Warsaw is not Rakowitz, what gives? The battle took place on the outskirts of Warsaw, but I cannot find any information about a place that would be named Rakowitz or similar in Polish or English sources, and neither German nor Swedish wikis seem to explain what Rakowitz is... PS. As far as I can tell, none of the Polish toponyms named Rakowice is located anywhere near Warsaw. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 19:20, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
According to German and Swedish wikis, there was a second battle of Warsaw in 1705, on 18 November: de:Warschauer Friede/ sv:Freden i Warszawa. Polish wiki has no entry on it yet. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 19:36, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
Sources: for 21 July, for 31 July. 31 July is also confirmed here and by many Polish print sources, so I am assuming the English pdf article is in error.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 21:44, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
Re: [3]. What are the sources for Otto Arnold von Paykull vs Johann Patkul? Pl, de and sv wikis give Johann Patkul as the commander. Pdf gives Otto Arnold Paykull indeed. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 04:56, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

@ Imonoz: and other editors: I will be copy editing this over the next few days. I tend to boldly change; this irritates some people. I will try to make changes discrete, so if you don't like anything it should be easy to revert. Or just ping me and ask me what the heck I thought I was doing.

In the lead it states "Paykull... took the initiative, without the advice of Augustus". Does this mean against the advice of Augustus? In which case it should say that. Or without any advice from Augustus and not knowing what that advice might have been? In which case, IMO, it is not significant enough to be in the lead. Thanks Gog the Mild ( talk) 21:35, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
"This resulted in a combative personal of 550 men of the regiment, left after the battle, as the rest were either dead, wounded or without horses or other lost equipment" does not really make sense. But it is difficult to copy edit as I am not sure what you are trying to say. Could you help? Gog the Mild ( talk) 19:28, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
