Talk:České Budějovice

message: As for notice for one (or may be several) unregistered users repeteadly changing name of town in German to Budweis first, Böhmisch Budweis on second place, the reference () originally inserted by 213.29.96.164 says verbatim, that "Budweis was by German speaking people more commonly used than official Böhmisch Budweis" not that the German name of České Budějovice is Budweis. Therefore I'd like to ask unregisterd user(s) from IPs 213.29.96.164, 77.48.45.227 and 195.144.125.173 not to use this reference to support false statement that German name of České Budějovice is Budweis or Böhmisch Budweis - I think the version with explanation that Budweis is usual German short form, analogous to Czech short form Budějovice is quite sufficient. --Pooh-winnie 16:23, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Czech republic had no official german name for czech cities from 1947, look here. Böhmisch Budweis can not be official for this. And German and web of city use name Budweis. I think, it is easy. --195.144.125.173 15:42, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Please do not tell untruth - your reference literally says that use all the minoritties-language (incl. German) names of Czech and Moravian towns is cancelled, and in case of Budějovice, name Budějovice reintroduced by Nazis is changed back to České Budějovice. Not a word about name of Budějovice in German language, except for the general cancellation of German names of Czech towns.  --Pooh-winnie 16:04, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

text: No, canceles all minority names. --Cinik (talk) 20:37, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I don't mean to be an interloper, and if I knew what the writer meant to say I would simply correct the English, but what is the sense of the following:
"City subserves this funktion very good and it was cause for hostility persisting for centuries, only Hussite Wars brake it pro tem."
There are numerous other curious examples of fractured "International English" and worse.

replies: text: Good point and find, I am removing that faul line just now. It has been deliberately inserted into the text no doubt. If author is here reading this, then explain why have you inserted it and what have you meant by that remark, until then I am removing it.--IEEE 18:46, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

message: "Until the mass expulsion of 1945 resulting from World War II, the city had a significant German minority (about 15.5 % in 1930)."
What was the German population after 1945?  What is it today?  83.70.241.97 (talk) 16:29, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: According Census 2001, in 2001 city had no significant German minority (153 Germans in all city = 0,16 %). --Cinik (talk) 09:57, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  One tenth of one percent is the lower boundary to be considered statistically significant. So 0.16% is significant and indicates economic and social transactions between the peoples are being renewed after a generation of separation. A positive development.68.40.122.133 (talk) 11:38, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I would say that this is nonsense. Usually data to be considered significant are not lower than 5%. Jirka.h23 (talk) 12:57, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

message: At the moment nearly all the people listed in this section are sportsmen plus one sportswoman. Surely, in the course of the long history of this city, some scientists, scholars and poets of note were born there - or not? On the face of it, the list lacks balance.

message: What does "Budweis" mean? Which language does it come from? Since this cannot be seen at once it seems to be very old. At least older that its foundation as a city and it is unlikely that this place was uninhabited before. So how it was spelled in the first written record. A copy of this document should be shown in the Wikipedia! Is it related to "Budwitz" in Morava and "Budapest"? Besides - a reliable source for the population in all European settlements is the German Brockhaus from 1888, which is contained in all university libraries in Germany and in many abroad. It gives the exact number of the local population, especially the German, the Czech and the Jewish ones and likewise precisely their faith. Surprise - how large the latter one was ! < 46.11.204.123 (talk) 09:02, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Read the Etymology paragraph. The original "Budivojovice"  was in the 13th century named after its founder, from personal Slavic name Budivoj, Budivoj ze Železnice (settlement of the people of Budivoj). The city was later given German name "Budweis" (in Czech Budějovice). Jirka.h23 (talk) 13:48, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
