Is there any sensible reason why Polish names have to come after every proper noun in the article? Yes, we know these places are controlled by Poland now, but these names are very distracting and I don't see the point of having them. Besides that, most of these places are German settlements on previous Prussian or Pomeranian territory ... i.e. nothing to do with the Polish language.鈥擯receding

I do not know about the appropriateness of including "Teutonic" in the title, but as long as it is there, using a hyphen and an en dash is the only way of accurately presenting the relations between the combatants. There is no guideline in the Manual of Style covering this exceptional situation, but using Polish鈥揕ithuanian鈥揟eutonic War鈥攆rom which location I have just moved the article back again鈥攃reates the impression of three combatants, which is, of course, false. The options are pretty limited here.

"[Use en-dashes] as a substitute for some uses of and, to or versus for marking a relationship involving independent elements in certain compound expressions (Canada鈥揢S border, blood鈥揵rain barrier, time鈥揳ltitude graph, 4鈥3 win in the opening game, male鈥揻emale ratio, 3鈥2 majority verdict, Lincoln鈥揇ouglas debate, diode鈥搕ransistor logic; but a hyphen is used in Sino-Japanese trade, in which Sino-, being a prefix, lacks lexical independence.)"
Since "Polish," "Lithuanian," and "Teutonic" all stand alone as separate words, they should all have the same dash. I suppose that having it between all three might seem to imply that there were three combatants, but having mixed dash/hyphens is even more confusing to me. Personally, I think that simply choosing a different name (i.e. one that does not involve this triple construction) is probably a wiser idea. If you need me, please post on my talk. 鈥

Name again Maybe someone from the associated WikiProjects can help. Considering the most common name policy, maybe some of them are knowledgeable about the most common name for this conflict. 鈥

Reference to financial backing by UBS
Is there any special reason to state "..and with financial backing by UBS, the ..." in the abstract of the article? There is no definition of what UBS is, from what I conclude that this is the result of vandalism with a reference to the UBS bank? If not, some extra clarification is needed. 鈥 Preceding

How could Hussites have played a role in this war when the war ended in 1411 and the Hussite movement didn't really take off until Hus's death in 1415?--
