Talk:Mureș County

message: in accordance with Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names) page,
paragraph 2.
 
The lead: The title can be followed in the first line by a list of alternative names in parenthesis: {name1, name2, name3, etc.}. Any archaic names in the list (including names used before the standardization of English orthography) should be clearly marked as such, i.e.: (name1 arch.). Relevant foreign language names[3] are permitted and should be listed in alphabetic order of their respective languages, i.e.: (Armenian: name1, Belarusian: name2, Czech: name3). Alternatively, all alternative names can be moved to and explained in a names section immediately following the lead. In this case, the redundant list of the names in the article's first line should be replaced with the following text: (known also by several alternative namesNames). Once such a section or paragraph is created, the alternative English or foreign names should not be moved back to the first line.
Definition
^ The geographic location is considered to have a single widely accepted English name in modern context (swaEn) if the following two conditions are satisfied simultaneously: 
The English-language encyclopedias (Encyclopedia Britannica, Columbia Encyclopedia and Encarta) consistently use this name in all articles where the corresponding location is mentioned in modern context.
This name obtains the largest number (75% or more of total hits considering all possible variants) of Google Scholar and Google Books hits (count only articles and books, not number of times the world is used in them) when searched over English language articles and books where the corresponding location is mentioned in modern context. If the name of the location coincides with the name of another entity, care should be taken to exclude inapropriate pages from the count.
internet hits returned 11.800 results of "Hargita county" and 154 000 results of "Harghita county". English encyclopedias consistently use the name "Harghita county"
there was a voting meant to settle this problem, concluded with 5 votes in favour of providing the HU names against 2. the relevancy of that vote is reduced to 7 people voting,
considering the relevancy of English Encyclopedias and Wikipedia naming conventions
i here by remove the names of hungarian administrative divisions provided as alternates for names of romanian administrative divisions from the lead of the article. refer to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names) for any debate on this matter Criztu 08:15, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

message: :What you are missing in this picture is the fact that the academic rule in Romania is to use "â" in the middle of words. Whether people decide not to use this rule (which is newer), for whatever reasons, whether they choose to so more in Mureş County, and whether certain third-party sources lag behind or are inconsistent adds nothing to the debate. There is nothing "more legal" about using "î" instead of "â" (quite the contrary, our government follows the academic rule -  ). The "â" is a single standard for writing Romanian, not just for writing the name of this particular city; we have applied this standard throughout wikipedia, as we should have.
:Let me add that a lot of your edits in the past days have been needlessly disruptive: you took articles out of their categories and replaced the links to categories with red links (thus effectively emptying those categories), and you changed valid in-text links to red links without even creating redirects.
