Talk:Ostrava

message: It was discussed someplace (sorry, but I don't remember where) over the creation of a former template which was used for many Czech towns which I created () and which, in its original version, contained a field for the mayor's name but after many objections that it's not very important for an international reader I removed it. And I concur with that opinion now. It might be used with large towns such as London, Paris etc. where the mayor's known internationally, but if you look for some basic data for say a Spanish town of the same size as Ostrava, would their name be of any importance to you? I'm not going to do any reverts or remove it again in this article, I removed it when I was applying the new infobox, from the above mentioned reason. --Caroig 08:22, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Both speakers (female and male) in the sound file say [o'strava], but in the article the pronunciation is given as ['ostrava]
:The "[o'strava]" pronunciation is the local dialectal one. Speakers of Lach dialects, Cieszyn Silesian or Polish would say it that way. Any other Czech speaker would say ['ostrava]. filelakeshoe (talk) 20:49, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pronunciation 

message: Like many places in Tchechia, Slowakia and Poland, the nice houses, architecture and culture comes from the kicked out (and not in few cases massacered) German population. It is a shame, that the non German successors of these people who live in their houses, still try to shut their mouth about who made this culture and whose spirit brought all this to florish. A disgust. And it shows a certain fear of inferiority for if I live in someone elses house, I can admit it? Whats the big thing about it? And - b.t.w. - with this attiutde, there will never be peace in Europe, no matter how much the Germans pay. So in this special case: mind you adding, that the region came to economical and cultural bloom during hte "German period"? Thanks for being neutral and informing iin depth...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.108.98.124 (talk) 23:48, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

text: OMG you are such a stupid Nazi. Ostrava is the most slavic city in Czech republic. It comes from the slavic word for island. The Germans were just colonialists in the czech lands and left the land 1945 the same way, they came in in the 17 century. The economical and cultural boom was due to the mining, which was mostly executed by Czechs because the germans were to coward to go into the mines. The Germans expelled many Czechs from the west part of the city and robbed them everything. So be quiet.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.1.63.220 (talk) 18:54, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

message: The climate section is really odd. It tells the cities dimensions and even the length of the road network. What do these characteristics have to do with the climate of the city?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.176.94.161 (talk) 23:37, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

message: Deserves mention in the history section. So as not to get lost, here is current, restored, revised paragraph on Ostrava's Jewish community destroyed in WW2 Nazi genocide.
: 
In 1931 the Jewish community in Ostrava numbered 6,865 (5.4% of the population). About 8,000 Jews from the Ostrava district were murdered in the Holocaust. The Nisko Plan included the first deportation train transports of 1301 Jews from Ostrava on 17 and 26 October 1939. In 1994, a Holocaust memorial to the Jewish victims of Ostrava was built in Milada Horáková Park.-Yohananw (talk) 00:22, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
