message: I believe categories that explicitly say "Czech Republic" should only include things from 1993 on. This I think especially applies to categories by place,like establishments in the Czech Rwpublic and deaths in the Czech Republic. By not abiding by this rule, some editors are pushing to have people who died in say 1935 in both Tuberculosis deaths in the Czech Republic and Tuberculosis deaths in Czecoslovakia. I think this just leads to Category clutter. Now CEch people and it's sub-categories can have larger scopes. However I think we need to keep in mind that many residents of areas now in the Czech Republic when it was part of the Kingdom of Bohemia, the Austrian Empire and Austria-Hungary did not view themselves as Czech. In fact up until 1945 at least in the Sudentenland you had a large population that identified as German, not Czech. Further back you have more such people also in Prague. Once Bohemia become part of the Habsburg Lands, But especially in the Austrian Empire and Austria-Hungary you have lots of people move around the Empire, so residence is not a hood proxy for ethnicity, and with a de facto unified Empire, there is no local nationality to consider. We should not assume those who are from Bohemia were Czech, we need other evidence to show this. However since deaths are by place and not by nationality, and say "Czech Republic", I think using the term pre-1993 is not needed, especially since the 75 years of Czechoslovakia exceeds the 30 of the Czech Republic. Also any case of cause of death that we do not have enough cases for in a particular country we can place in the direct cause of death Category. Personally I think we have been far too quick to subdivide cause of death categories by place without showing good reason why. We might want yo Aldo ask should deaths be subdivided by place of by nationality. Do we care where a person died, or for we care what their nationality was when they died?John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:05, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree and I recategorized 4 pages and 1 category in :Category:1991 establishments in the Czech Republic, but the way you put this across, it is a wider issue. Can you give some concrete examples of categories in which you think articles are misplaced? C679 14:30, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: This is an issue with the main Czech Republic article, with some editors arguing that its scope goes before 1993. (as opposed to history information being briefly covered as background) (t · c) buidhe 15:24, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

message: I'm working on Czech railway topics and encountered cz:České Budějovice jižní zastávka. This is a minor railway halt in České Budějovice. The literal translation of this name would be České Budějovice south stop or České Budějovice south station. My question is this: is "jižní zastávka" a proper name/proper noun, or is this more of a descriptive name. Should I render this in English as České Budějovice south railway station (following naming conventions for stations). Thank you in advance for any insight.

replies: text: Definitely do not translate, see e.g. Praha hlavní nádraží, Praha Masarykovo nádraží. Btw. I'm surprised that there would be enough reliable sources for a separate page for a stop where there isn't even a building, just a shelter. Other wikipedias only cite the database of stops.

message: First, I would like to start I am new to this WikiProject. I came across some Czech election pages mentioning a senator named Petr Fiala. I am planning to create his article by translating the page :cs:Petr Fiala (senátor), but does he pass WP:NPOL and WP:GNG of English Wikipedia? From what I can read on the corresponding Czech article, the secondary sources contain brief mentions and routine coverage. My Google searches mostly come up and mix him with the Prime Minister, so I would like to verify the existence of this senator. CuteDolphin712 (talk) 12:27, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

message: The Czech langauge article on the Aero A.14 (cs:Aero A-14) - contains the text "A-15.12 byl jako první v historii našeho letectví v roce 1926 nasazený na Opavsku k rozprašování přípravku na hubení mnišky." (similar text is in a 1986 article in Letectví a Kosmonautika magazine which appears to have been used as a source). According to Google translate this means "In 1926, the A-15.12 was the first in the history of our aviation to be deployed in the Opava region to spray a product to kill nuns". What does "mnišky"  actually mean in this context?Nigel Ish (talk) 12:06, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
