Talk:Dunajská Streda

message: Your contributions were valuable partially but distorted with Slovak nationalist POV so I reverted them. It would be more reasonable to change things step by step and trying to reach an agreement.
What are talking about???? I have checked the changes, they are all perferctly OK. The only thing that was left out seems to be the 1910 census, which however ignores the Jews, which are important for the town. Juro 17:24, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: While this is probable, I have never seen the census results of 1930 saying "xy Hungarian speaking Jews", that's your personal speculation (if not, provide the source and we can readd it)
* Is there any evidence that suggests that the majority was NOT Hungarian in the Middle Ages? The oldest local toponymy is Hungarian... Zello 18:54, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Everywhere in the wikipedia there are Hungarian names particularly in the historical sections because they were commonly used always in the Koh and official after 1844. It is anacronistic to delete them (see the Danzig precedent). Their use is more justified in the case of a region which has been inhabited by Magyars since the 10th century util now. Of course there were a few Slavic settlement in the Csallóköz as everywhere from the Alps to Transylvania but they assimilated to the Hungarians because they were few. Where their number was greater they remained Slavic as in the Highlands. According to your logic we should use MODERN Slovak names for the towns of the medieval Transdanubia too because of the Great Moravians (but after the fall of them...). There isn't any difference only a modern border - this is very anacronistic. Zello 01:32, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I just happened to pass by this talk page and see the conflict here. Firstly - my POV is neither Hungarian nor Slovak. I've visited and enjoyed being in both countries :) In this case, I don't think the Hungarian name belongs for "Žitný ostrov", since we're talking about a current theme. Also, Hungarian isn't an official language in Slovakia, so there is no official policy in Wikipedia governing the use of the Hungarian name (in Basque Country articles, for example, we would give both the Spanish and Basque names everytime because both languages are official). I don't see why the Hungarian name should be mentioned, really. Zello - mentioning Csallóköz in brackets would be just like mentioning "Giula" in brackets next to every link to Gyula just because there is a sizeable Romanian minority in Gyula. Another example is Miercurea Ciuc in Romania. As much as I would like to see the creation of a Szekler Autonomous Region with Hungarian as co-official language, at the current moment, links to the city are simply made in the form Miercurea Ciuc not Miercurea Ciuc/Csikszereda.

text: UPDATE: Wait a sec. The town is apparently a Hungarian minority centre. Does it have a Hungarian majority? Does Žitný ostrov have a Hungarian majority? If yes, then it may be acceptable to write "(Csallóköz in Hungarian)" in the introduction where the name Žitný ostrov is first mentioned. Thanks,  Ronline ✉ 13:11, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I think it would be better to upload a picture about some place of interest in the town. Personally I'd prefer the Makovecz town hall because it really became a symbol of Dunaszerdahely in tha past years but I'd accept other choices. For me a map seems quite irrelevant, altough I think it would be great to keep the coat-of-arms somehow. Nonetheless I haven't got a clue about this copyright problem so I don't dare to do anything.
