Talk:Split, Croatia

message: In this recent edit, User:Dans moved all the content concerning the city's history into the "History" section. Why was this done? The lead sections of other cities' articles (e.g. Rome, Venice, London, Beijing, Tokyo) talk about the history of their respective cities, even if only briefly. I think it should be moved back, as the lead section is very short right now. –﻿barakokula31 (talk) 21:58, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

message: I have attempted to revert the dating system on this page back to its original format and would like to argue the case for why this should be done.
Firstly The BC-AD dating system was the original format used on this page. Wikipedia guidelines state that the style which is used first is the one that takes precedence.
Secondly, the article was arbitrarily changed to the CE-BCE style by a user (Lemmy C on the 25/02/14) without first seeking a consensus from users or providing any reason why the edit was made. This directly goes against the etiquette and guidelines which are encouraged while editing pages.
Lastly, I would argue, (although I freely admit this point is my own personal opinion and people may disagree) that the BC-AD style is understood by the public more so than the BCE-CE style and as Wikipedia is first and foremost for the public to improve and share their knowledge I would argue the BC-AD format is better suited.
It would great if I could get support for this as I have noticed that the BC-AD style is regularly changed with no proper reason other than personal preference and allowed to become the de-facto style.Zulu1963 (talk) 19:22, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

text: Guidelines also say don't change it without a good reason relating to the content of the article. WP:IDONTLIKEIT is not an acceptable reason. Whatever happened 4 years ago is not in play now. What is the article-specific reason that you have for making the change at this time?--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 20:23, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Name of the Split  

message: Are there some objection to add this data? 
From the Early modern period, in international correspondence and all issued city documents, used name was Latin Spalatum. Venetian and later Italian-language version, Spalato become official later in the Modern Period under Venetian rule. After Illyrian movement and recognition of the movement by the Habsburg Monarchy, in the 19th century the Croatian name Split and Spljet increasingly came back to prominence. Name Split officially finally replaced name Spljet in 1909. by the decision of the city council. 93.137.75.97 (talk) 06:16, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  When we put name "Split" into wikipedia search bar, it pops-up that Split is city in Italy 

message: Newly added line of the article (not adding source), proclaims Split to be "historically known" as the "Spalato" in opposition with text of the article mentioning "Spalato" as the name used least among all historical names (as mentioned in the article, from the mid 18. century till lhe late 18. century and foundation of French "Illyrian Provinces" by the Napoleon). I am proposing reverting back changes, by removing the name "Spalato" from the article body, and by removing the such very "loaded" term, "historically known", from the first line of the article, especially until conflict with the text of the article is not resolved. Leaving link "See other names" in meantime would represent Wikipedia spirit of neutrality, more accurately. I have reported same recent patters of Italianization, and de-Croatization of the historical names of the all Croatian coastal cities on English wikipedia articles, supported by many fascist (therefore dangerous and criminal) Italian wikipedia activists. While, having same not allowing historical German names of South Tirol to be allowed on Wikipedia (see name Bolzano-Bozen). Such patters are noticed from the election of Italian Fascist government, as claimed by the renewed American news sources. Wikipedia must take action.  https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2022/09/giorgia-meloni-italy-election-fascism-mussolini/671515/ 93.140.146.254 (talk) 02:15, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I am against the elimination of "historically known as Spalato" from the incipit of the article, since it has an important historical value, which is explained in the article.

replies: text: Major climate classifications, like Köppen or Trewartha, generally define "dry summers" as having one month in summer below 30mm. Split fulfills that criteria, and therefore it is Mediterranean. Uness232 (talk) 11:33, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
