Talk:SAO Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Syrmia

message: I don't think that the phrase "Serbian autonomous region" is the correct phrase to use here, because it was never a legal autonomous region (like Vojvodina or Kosovo), it was more self styled by the breakaway govt. The way it was written in the article makes it sound like it was. Unless I am missing something. --Jesuislafete 01:01, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There are many Wikipedia articles about things that could be described "non-legal" by somebody. The purpose of Wikipedia is not to writte only about "legal" things, but to collect entire human knowledge. The official name of the region used by the authorities of RS Krajina was "Srpska autonomna oblast" and that could be translated into English as "Serbian autonomous region". If you have better translation, please provide it. PANONIAN (talk) 09:52, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: ok, I was thinking along the lines of Vojvodina with 'autonomous,' i thought it was seen as an official governent. --Jesuislafete 09:31, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: But if we writte from the point of view of official Croatian government, then this region did not even officially existed, so it would be quite futile to discuss about its "official" name, right? PANONIAN (talk) 10:51, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Last census from 2001 show that, for example, 122 Germans live only in Beli Manastir: http://www.dzs.hr/Hrv/censuses/Census2001/Popis/H01_02_02/H01_02_02_zup14.html They certainly did not came back from Germany, did they? PANONIAN (talk) 21:06, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That article is not on my watchlist, but nobody stopping you to list them there. :) In fact, I plan to post some demographics data into articles about municipalities of Croatia, but only after I finish this with municipalities in Macedonia and Central Serbia.

message: It seems that we have a minor linguistic inconsistency in the current title. If we are using anglicized forms of terms for Slavonia and Syrmia in the title, then maybe, for the sake of consistency, we should also use anglicized form for Baranya. Also, in the official name of this autonomous entity there was no designation "Eastern" in front of Slavonia, and it was never a "SAO" (Serbian Autonomous Oblast), since it was established on 25 June 1991 as "AO" (Autonomous Oblast) and them changed its name on 25 September 1991 to "SO" (Serbian Oblast). And one more thing, currently we are using "O" as initial for "Oblast" in the title, but since the word "oblast" means "region" maybe we should use the English word. Taking all of this into consideration, proper title for this article would be "Serbian Region of Slavonia, Baranya and Western Syrmia". Such title would be literal and fully anglicized translation of the official name of this entity (in Serbian language: Srpska Oblast Slavonija, Baranja i Zapani Srem).
