Talk:Syldavia

message: Map at http://g.courtial.free.fr/country8.htm tells me that Syldavia would be in northern Slovenia, not in western Slovenia, so I'll update the map accordingly. --romanm (talk) 20:35, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: Someone just changed the name of the location of the Syldavian space program from Sbrodj to Sprodj.  It's definitely Sbrodj in Hergé's original.  Can someone check the English translation to see if they changed it?  I don't want to revert the change if there's a reason for it.  Zompist 06:50, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

message: In Tintin & the Lake of sharks, the Syldavians perform a traditional dance at the end - the Blushtika. I wonder what this is based on.

thread_title:  Blushtika? 

message: I've removed some speculative comments that tread too closely to original research.  Fun though it is to fill in the gaps, in a general encyclopedia we're restricted to what actually appears in the books.  This includes speculation on Syldavia's religion and location, as well as on what Syldavian names look like in Cyrillic.  (Only a couple of names, such as that of Klow, actually appear in Cyrillic in the books.)
While we're at it, there is probably way too much restatement of the tourist brochure from King Ottokar's Sceptre.  It should be summarized, not paraphrased. Zompist 06:39, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Don't speculate

message: Isn't it hypocritical that there can not be a infobox of Syldavia and Borduria in the English wikipedia page while it can stay on the Swedish wikipedia site?
:No. I don't edit the Swedish Wikipedia. --Chris Griswold  (☎☓) 16:18, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Infobox 

message: Why is Syldavia meant to be located around Celje? I can't find any reason for it.
:I think a lot of the information stems from edits made by Realismadder, who unfortunately has written a lot of Tintin-related information apparently containing a lot of fanon and original research. 惑乱 分からん 17:23, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Location 

message: On the article for 'Tintin and the Ottokar's Sceptre', the Syladavian motto is given as  "Eih bennek, eih blavek", meaning "Here I am and here I stay". However, in the infobox on the right of this page, the translation is given as "Rub yourself here, get stung." Surely that's vandalism?Starom 12:29, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: See the discussion of the motto in the article itself.  It's not vandalism, though it is misleading.  Ultimately the blame is Hergé's, since he chose an expression with a clear Dutch meaning and gave a rather different French translation. Zompist 18:22, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Vandalism of Motto?

message: What is the source for the bank note picture?  It's certainly not from the album.  It looks like someone Photoshopped it.  If it's from some other source please identify it. Zompist (talk) 17:47, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah. I agree. Looks fan-created. I think there was a stamp set issued in the Tintin magazine or something with the currency Khor, though. 惑乱 分からん * \)/ (\ (< \) (2 /) /)/ * (talk) 14:38, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

message: The Klow article does not present sufficient information to stand on its own. As the fictional capital of the fictional country Syldavia, the Klow article should be merged into this article. Neelix (talk) 13:27, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
