Name of the article

It seems that no source calls the event "Battle of Viljandi", however, quite a few call it Siege of Viljandi ([1], [2] (five results), [3]). So I propose to move the article to Siege of Viljandi, like it is in Estonian Wikipedia, et:Viljandi piiramine. There also was a battle of Viljandi in 1223, et:Viljandi lahing (1223).

Also, I am not sure of the notability of this event. However, as we have a stub, we may as well keep it.

Actually it seems that there was also 3rd battle/siege in august 1223 when Germans recaptured town [4] ;) --Staberinde (talk) 14:25, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
