Talk:Olomouc

message: The article in question was just created today. I have already wikified it to the best of my ability but there's still very little context for someone who isn't familiar with Olomouc (like myself). Therefore, it's hard for me to determine if a merge is the way to go in this case but I thought I'd at least go ahead and suggest it. -- Seed 2.0 17:49, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

message: (Posted at Talk:Palacký  University, Olomouc identically:)
The main Olomouc article only very briefly mentions Palacký University, Olomouc the university, in a single sentence. Considering that the lead here suggests that the university is a very significant part of the the town, shouldn't it get a bigger mention in that article? Si Trew (talk) 12:11, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

message: If I don't misremember what I read in some museum sign, Mozart's family spent some time in Olomouc and was greatly helped by the then bishop.
Should it be mentioned?
Was some remarkable composition created there?

message: Cimmerian praetor, I understand the Palacký Unversity is your alma mater, but that doesn't mean that you are supervisor of this article and therefore you can forced your own statistics and names.
I have got two objections:
# Numbers of Protestants in the Czech lands before 1620 are only estimated and re-calculated according to the number of churches and parishes. Due to this lack of knowledge (incomplete sources) ratio of Protestants and Catholics variated between 70% (e.g. historian :cs:Petr Čornej) and 90%. Even in the book cited by you can be found various figures: ... Josef Pekař uvádí, že katolíky u nás byla zhruba jedna sedmina obyvatel... (i.e. ~14–15% Catholics); ... Ze zhruba 2 mil. obyvatel Čech bylo ... pouze 300 tisíc katolíků. Na Moravě pouze asi 70 tisíc z celkového počtu 750 tisíc obyvatel, tedy zhruba pouze jedna desetina... (i.e. ~15% Catholics in Bohemia Proper and ~9% in Moravia; average = 12%, not 10 as you assert). In view of these facts, I consider quarrel "85 or 90" as purposelessly dogmatic. I suggest a compromise: 88%
#"Czech Crown lands" is ahistoric term used by some present authors only in auxiliary sense, similarly to "Czech state" or "Czech lands". Proper name of the Bohemian state after 1348 was – as you certainly know – The Crown of the Bohemian Kingdom; typized "wikiname" is Crown of Bohemia (cf. other institutionalized "Crowns", like Crown of Aragon, Crown of Castile, Crown of Spain, Crown of Great Britain, Crown of the Kingdom of Poland and so on). I don't understand your incorrect edits in this case and I oppose them.

replies: text: Dear Iaroslavvs, the fact that I have studied in Olomouc has nothing to do with the issue at hand. I don't feel being supervisor of the article, but I like to keep an eye on the part, which I have introduced into the article. I have introduced both the Czech Crown lands as well as "roughly nine out of ten". I hate to see somebody coming in and changing it for no good reason.
# You have deliberately change roughly nine out of ten to 85%. I got it back to 90% and added a source for the claim. You also recognize, that the figure I put there is much closer to the source, than the one you wrote (not to mention, that the original phrase was probably the best one, but out of courtesy to you, I have stayed with the percentage, which you have introduced).
# Czech Crown lands is not ahistoric term. It is simply used by some contemporary authors in order to cover the territory of the contemporary Czech Republic, before the Czech Republic existed. One of the issues of writing there "Crown of Bohemia" is, that it is a historically very precise term, which in the issue of 1550s covers also the largest of the lands - Silesia - which is not covered in the estimates by the source I have provided.
I am sorry but it is very arrogant, to start changing things for no good reason. It is even more arrogant to blame the author of the original sentences of "feeling being a supervisor, when he merely corrects fiddling with his own edits. I hate arrogance. Please stop fiddling with my edits, unless you build a majority consensus, that what I have written is wrong.

message: Looks like original research to me. There could be many ways of approximating the Czech pronunciation based on dialect. I would say the first syllable as /ɒ/ rather than /ɔː/. Any source that there's a widely used English pronunciation? - filelakeshoe 11:06, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

text: Is Olmütz not only the German name ? Is ist Anglo-Saxon for "All-Meet". Maybe it is located on an old war-path that leads to South-East. The Anglo-Saxons/Britain and maybe the Scandinavians came along the river Elbe heading Southeast and continued their path Southeast towards Olmütz = All-meet. The warriors maybe have met in this place before they continued their path Southeast. It could be similar to the French town Metz, I heard crusaders have met there (Metz=meet).  guest comment by P.
