Talk:Slovak koruna

message: Slovak koruna (WWII) is a tiny page. See Yugoslav dinar for a page dealing with multiple nations, all of which had a currency that could be called "Yugoslav dinar". This page should be like that one, unless/until it gets too big. Mom2jandk 22:50, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

text: I also see Juro's point, and as the article expands, I probably won't have a problem with it being split. I just don't see a need for separate articles now. I do not plan to merge all other tiny pages. This one has an obvious place (where people would search for "Slovak koruna" anyway). I know that pages will expand over time, and situations will change. My recommendation was based on the situation now. Yugoslav dinar has exactly the same situation, where Serbia and Montenegro is not recognized as a successor state to Yugoslavia yet its dinar is included in Yugoslav dinar (until it became the Serbian dinar). I don't think this is the only case, but it's the one I know most about. Ingrid 19:54, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, while I can't think of another example where the states in question have no "official" connection to each other–though honestly, it's rather difficult not to connect Slovakia and Slovakia ;)–we've got quite a lot of articles which are about subsequent currencies with the same name, or currencies re-introduced a few times with the same name being kept. I say merge now, and split again later once we've got a large article. (Yep, I'm an eventualist...)  ナイトスタリオン ✉ 20:34, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

text: No, the Yugoslav dinar never ceased to exist and always refered to the country centered in Belgrade, so in this case I can understand that it is the same currency, because it effectively IS still the same currency. In our case, however, there are 50 ! years between those two currencies and they have (in Slovak) different names! During those 50 years there was another state and another currency on the territory in question. I see no parallels. We even distinguish between libras and liras in countries were they have been just renamed (nothing else), so why shouldn't we distinguish between two linguistically, legally, historically and physically totally different currencies??

replies: text: As I said, I do understand  your point. To give another example (this time with over 60 years between), see Estonian kroon. Serbian dinar is also another one with a long break in between, now that I think about it. And I was just looking at one in South America.... Chilean peso. This is not an uncommon situation -- I did not go looking for those examples, they're ones I've happened across. Ingrid 03:36, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

text: But those have at least the same name...Even though I would split those articles too, if it was me to decide on this. Juro 04:09, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

text: Juro's argument against the merge appears to be based on the distinct names of the currencies (only apparent in the Slovak language). This is certaily a valid point but we ought to realise that in the Yugoslav dinar article we merge several currencies into a single article, even though there was a five year interuption in Yugoslavia's existence. I favour the merge in the English language Wikipedia as this will aid usability. There are precedents in the case of Brazilian cruzeiro, Chilean peso and others. Dove1950 
Merge :), both currencies have the same name, but at a different time. I would prefer a single article covering the whole time span. MikeZ 10:18, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

text: I'm in favour of a merge of these two articles. It just makes it easier to find the earlier currency.Dove1950 14:07, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

text: I never knew this discussion was going on :)  Merge and expand entires if you feel they deserve their own page.  Joe I 20:48, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  merge 

message: This is the back side of the 1000 Ks. Isn't "tausend" German, "тысяча" Russian, and "ezer" Hungarian? --Chochopk 06:26, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The value is indicated in the ethnic languages of Slovakia. However, there was no Russian ethnicity in Slovakia but Rusyns (a people close to Ukrainians). There's very little difference between the two languages (especially in the case of numerals), and Ukrainian was not recognised in Russia for ages or was declared a dialect. However, Ukrainians also tend to consider Rusyns as a subgroup of the Ukrainian nation. So "тысяча" might be either Russian, Ukrainian or Rusyn. The same situation for Hungarian pengő, Hungarian korona and Austro-Hungarian krone. At least in the former two cases I would add a Rusyn language template (ry - no such exists yet), since the "Ukrainians" in Hungary are usually referred to as Rusyns. In my opinion, "тысяча" on the Slovak banknotes is also Rusyn - like on the interwar Czechoslovak banknotes. (The somewhat autonomic Subcarpathian region in interwar Czechoslovakia was called "Podkarpatská Rus" or sometimes "Rusínsko").Timur lenk 08:13, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Other languages on WWII koruna 

message: According to the CIA World Factbook, the currency is called the Slovak koruna.  When there are more than one koruna, they are called koruny (in English sources they are also called korunas, which is less proper).  As this is the English version of Wikipedia, they should be listed in English terms; koruna and koruny should be used to the exclusion of other foreign language forms.  While I am not prepared to transform all of the instances of korún (with accent) and halierov in the article, koruna/koruny and hal or h are the forms that should appear.  Korun and halierov should appear only when the Slovak language is being discussed (as currently in the parenthetical section in the introduction and in the first paragraph after the introduction). 67.100.185.234 23:39, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The changes you have made are based on a single source which disagrees with what is clearly written on the Slovak banknotes. The plural forms are koruny and korún when they appear after numerals, with koruny used with the number 2 and korún used with 5 and above. As is clearly stated in Wikipedia:WikiProject Numismatics/Style, currency articles use the local form of the currency names.Dove1950 14:50, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This isn't worth my time.  You've cited a WikiProject to which you are a primary contributor.  The project's style suggestions contradict Wikipedia style guidelines that provide for a foreign term not to replace its English equivalent.  Do as you like. 67.100.185.234 15:22, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: While I would normally rejoice over this much interest in the Slovak language and in liguistics in general, the current form of the page appears to be too far from the mainstream. Wikipedia is not too fond of original research and even though you correctly observed what is printed on Slovak banknotes, this does not represent the common usage in English texts. I'd urge you to reconsider, since this IMHO represents a marginal (if perhaps correct) POV and borders on silliness. 24.5.28.31 08:41, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There's nothing silly about being correct. Please provide an explanation for korunách so it doesn't cause any confusion.Dove1950 10:13, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

message: The article shows the exchange rate versus the Euro, and that it was at par with the Czech koruna in 1993. It does not mention whether or not the 1993 Slovak koruna remained at par with (pegged to) the Czech koruna, or if it floated independently.  If anyone knows the answer, please add it to the article.  --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 15:03, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Exchange rate of 1993 koruna 

message: The article doesn't go into a lot of detail about this process worked. From what I understand the transition was quite a messy affair with official (Czech or Slovak) stamps being attached to old Czechoslovak banknotes and there were problems with stamps being fraudulently removed (or accidently coming off). Does anyone have photos or know why was the transition handled in such an apparently clumsy manner ? 2.127.209.195 (talk) 23:26, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
