Talk:Lajos Kossuth

message: Kossuth County named after him and statue of him in front of the court house of said county is a first hand source.
Kossuth made some sound recordings - apparently he is the person in this category whose birthdate is most distant. Any comments?

"Kossuth play an important part in the shaping out of the law of minority rights in 1849. It was the first law which recognized the minority rights in Europe.Laszlo Peter, Martyn C. Rady, Peter A. Sherwood: Lajos Kossuth sent word ...:papers delivered on the occasion of the bicentenary of Kossuth's birth (page 101) It gave minorities the freedom to use their mothertongue at local administration, at tribunals, in schools, in community life and een within the national guard of non-Magyar councils.Richard Frucht: Eastern Europe, Volume I., (an introduction to the people lands and culture) page: 354.

thread_title: The Minority LAW

message: The article did not mention the his plans for the Danube Confederacy. Could anybody write something about it? Laszlo
In his early exile years he wrote about a large confederation of the nations of the Danube valley (with Hungary at the helm). Although in later conversation he admitted himself this plan was tactical at best and he conveniently forgot about it once Hungary's position was better upon the Ausgleich, several Hungarian post-WW1 proponents of more peaceful co-existence of those peoples remembered and forwarded his project later on. This is what I remember but I am just an enthusiast and a reader not a professional historian, so do not trust me too much. varbal 00:42, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

message: you do disagree with wp article: The predominantly Slovak ancestors of the Kossuth family had lived in the county of Turóc.

message: Hi all 
I Removed some POV language from "Family" that read (claimed by Slovak extremists) This is not encyclopedic and pointless, not all who claim he has Slavic roots are "extremists" e.g Dr. S. Kirschbaum. for example states he has Slovak/Slavic roots and the good professor is not an extremist.
Furthermore Lajos Kossuth's uncle Gyogy Kossuth or Juraj Kosut, was a Slovak patriot and early politician, So there is basis to the claim, although I find it irrelivant.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Petethebeat (talk • contribs) 07:47, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed a bit... 

message: The article overall contains a lot of opinion and editorializing, rather than being neutral.  For example, general criticisms (as well as general praise) of Kossuth should only be included if it is cited from specific sources.  Lack of citations in general is also a major problem.  Some paragraphs seem to be taken directly from a specific source, if so, a citation needs to be included.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rememberthemaine (talk • contribs) 05:46, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Some General Issues 

message: I'm going through the redirect Louis Kossuth changing the obviouly Hungarian articles, and those that refer to him during or before the Hungarian Revolution, to be Lajos Kossuth.
I presume that he anglicised his name while in the United States, but the only thing in the article here is the references that refer to him by this name. For now, I am leaving the US articles alone (e.g. USS Mississippi) but if this was indeed his given name while in the US I think we should have a short sentence saying so. I don't really have time right now to source this, as I am doing a lot of gnoming around this area, so merely note it in passing.

message: About my edits 1, we are talking about present time (and/or after the 1918), as the article says "The most important memorial outside the present-day borders of Hungary is a statue in Rožňava" therefore alternative names have nothing to do with this so I removed them (WP:PLACE , use modern names). After all, alternative names can be seen at those articles if this info is required and at the local wikipedia projects.

message: Koertefa reverted an edit without explanation. The edit is for Kossuth's eulogization immediately after his death at a notable New York venue, by a venerated scholar... and, though only an implication, by the eulogizer's illness and death due to the loss of Kossuth. I'd like to see Koertefa weigh in on why he or she reverted it. Dovid (talk) 23:47, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Here is the entirety of the 11th edition Encyclopedia Britannica article on this subject 

message: In its current state, this article is very poorly sourced, drawing large swaths of material from a 1911 encyclopedia without attributing it to that author (James Wycliffe Headlam)—which, though the material is out of copyright, is not acceptable scholarly practice (presenting anthers words as WP editor's own).
Moreover, that source is dated, and was clearly flawed in its time, and so does not represent current acceptable ideas of European historiography. 
I have pasted the text from which large parts of this article were drawn, apparently initially, above. I will attend, as I can, to the shortcomings of copy-and-paste, dated text, but other editors should deal with this apparent plagiarism as well. Cheers.

thread_title:  Introductary Paragraph 

message: Dear IP,
it seems you don't wish to understand the point. So I try to enlight it again, I did not say he would not be a Slovak or would not be an ethnic Hungarian, I said notable names are listed of a person that was known by others by another name, see i.e. the article about György Dózsa, where it is also listed how Romanians called him, although he was not an ethnic Romanian. According to your philosophy, then even the English name should have been removed...excuse me, but this is evidently false in my opinion.(KIENGIR (talk) 20:47, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

message: User  has recently removed one of the images from the article (File:Kossuth_photograph_1847.png), on the grounds that it was . The file page on WikiCommons gives this article in Fotóművészet as the source, which appears to call the image a daguerreotype and gives a detailed history of the image (although the text is in Hungarian, which I can only access via the imperfect Google translation). Considering that the image is used in other articles (like Revolutions of 1848, and several on the Hungarian Wikipedia), and that it is still called a daguerreotype on the file page, I think this should be clarified.
