Talk:Mărginimea Sibiului

message: I was surprised to see short articles for the vilages in this region like:
"Jina (Hungarian: Zsinna) is a community in Transylvania, Romania."
This makes the reader think "aha, there is something there like a significat Hungarian minority, or some important event for Hungarian history took place there"
As I justify below except for Sălişte, Orlat, Boiţa and Tălmaciu (where we could argue that it's not so black and white) the above is missleading.
* we're talking here about a Transylvanian region that had traditionally a strong Romanian ethnicity (predominantly shepherds)
* and no significat historical events important for Hungary took place here (apart from the efects of the Romanian emancipation movement)
* that's reflected in the names which are merely phonetic rewritings in Hungarian

thread_title:  Alternative names in Hungarian 

message: What's wrong with mentioning the Hungarian name? It's historical. —Khoikhoi 05:22, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: the "Alternative names in Hungarian" section above should have answered your question. On short: mentioning the Hungarian name on the first line is misleading the reader. I think "It's historical" it's not seriously enough argumentation. BTW, have you visited the region? Bajamircea 23:16, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I see what you're saying now. No, but part of my family is from Transylvania. How about yours? —Khoikhoi 23:21, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

text: The hungarian rule over Transylvania took place only between 1867 and 1918. Until then, Transilvania was autonomous. The 1.000 years is just a joke. (not to mention that around 1200 the hungarians barely reached the Olt River, and in 1241 the tatars did not encounter any hungarian army foot until Tisa River...)--Alex:Dan 01:21, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
