1st Lithuanian Dragoon Regiment → 1st (Lithuanian) Dragoon Regiment "Prince Albert of Prussia" – 1. Consistency with other articles about Prussian cavalry regiments (see: Category:Cuirassiers_of_the_Prussian_Army); 2. Official name of the regiment was Dragoner-Regiment Prinz Albrecht von Preußen (Litthauisches) Nr.1; 3. Current name may suggest that it was regiment of the Lithuanian army.

- Oppose for the following reasons. 1. There is no consistency among the current titles of the Prussian cavalry regiments on Wikipedia - please see the diversity of titles: Category:Hussar regiments of the Prussian Army, Category:Guards cavalry regiments of the Prussian Army, Category:Mounted Rifles of the Prussian Army. For comparison, there is also 2nd Royal Bavarian Uhlans, 8th Royal Bavarian Chevau-légers, East Prussian National Cavalry Regiment, 1st Guards Uhlans, Zieten Hussars. 2. The official name changed repeatedly throughout the regiment's +200 years of existence, and there was a long period when the term Lithuanian was not in brackets. 3. That is your interpretation, which does not hold up - merely reading the first sentence of the article would clearly show that it was a PRUSSIAN Army regiment. Also, even by renaming the title to 1st (Lithuanian) Dragoon Regiment "Prince Albert of Prussia", the person could still interpret the way you claim, so it really makes no difference - the word "Lithuanian" (whose mere existence seems to bother you? As if Lithuanian regiments have only existed in a Lithuanian Army?) still stays in the article's name. --— 𝓓 𝓮𝓽 𝓟 (talk) 21:05, 10 June 2026 (UTC)
- @D&P 2nd Royal Bavarian Uhlans and 8th Royal Bavarian Chevau-légers weren't Prussian units; East Prussian National Cavalry Regiment and 1st Guards Uhlans are direct translations of the German names and are consistent with my proporsal. Only Zieten Hussars could be renamed, but it seems to be a common name.
- Before 1808 the unit was known as Dragoner-Regiment Nr. 7, then shortly as Ostpreußisches Dragoner-Regiment, and after that as Dragoner-Regiment Nr. 3. Litthauisches Dragoner-Regiment. In 1861 it was renamed to Litthauisches Dragoner-Regiment Nr. 1 (Prinz Albrecht von Preußen), and finally the names changed in 1872 to Dragoner-Regiment „Prinz Albrecht von Preußen“ (Litthauisches) Nr. 1. So it was known as 1st Lithuanian Dragoon Regiment only for 11 years. Also colloquially it was known as "Die Tilsiter Dragoner". Marcelus (talk) 09:39, 11 June 2026 (UTC)
