Talk:László Mednyánszky

message: I am neither Hungarian nor Slovak, and I have no beef whatsoever with this, but using eleven (!) references just to prove someone's nationality leads to exactly nothing exept cluttering the source text. Mednyánszky was born in Upper Hungary - that should suffice imho, but I'm open to the idea of using one (1) reference each for Hungarian and Slovak. --20% 19:03, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Problem is - as you didn't wait for my answer, but reverted for the third time - that the Slovak sources are unreliable, only the Encarta source is reliable and should be kept. The "clutter" was caused by many unreliable sources on one side, not by reliable and English references. Now you think this looks "balanced", but it's not, as you removed reliable English sources while leaving there Slovak throwaway websites. Squash Racket (talk) 19:14, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Feel free to accuse me of breaching 3RR, I don't care. Encarta is, in fact, not a valid source - it's on the same level as Wikipedia articles. I've left the "verification needed" tag for the Slovak sources strictly alone, so don't tell me we need more than four on the "Hungarian side". --20% 19:21, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

text: It's another encyclopedia, and not in any way peer-rewiewed. Besides, the Encarta text does not mention Mednyánszky's nationality, but rather implicity the area (=Upper Hungary, or present day Slovakia) where he was active during his formative years. --20% 19:36, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

message: If you want to use a Hungarian sources, than translate it. In one from the sources was written this in Hungarian:
"Anton C. Glatz, a nagyőri állandó kiállítás rendezője szerint a Mednyánszkyak különben híres 48-as famíliája nem lengyel–magyar eredettörténettel büszkélkedhet, hanem ősi Vág menti szlovák család leszármazottai." and user Fakirbakir wrote there that he is of Polish-Hungarian origin. Translate this to english, coz according to google translate its: "Anton C. Glatz, a large permanent exhibition is organized according to the audit MEDNYÁNSZKY otherwise known as 48-Familia Polish-Hungarian origin story does not boast, but the descendants of ancient Považie Slovak families." I understand that his polish-hungarian origin is fictive and he is a descendant of Slovaks from Povazie region. Thanx for the translate. --Samofi (talk) 13:25, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: There is a Polish-Hungarian theory. I only wanted to demonstrate another possibility and that source mentioned it. I wrote 'according to others' (and not according to Anton C. Glatz). I did not manipulate the source, because I did not want to cite Anton's. Why do not you translate and cite it yourself from Hungarian If you understand it?

text: And YOU ARE who manipulates the source. The full article is about his Hungarian patriotism and this Anton C. G. theory is just an example for the opposite speculations.Fakirbakir (talk) 14:40, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
