Talk:2008 Hungarian fees abolition referendum

The name of the referendum
It is simply referendum 2008 which can be found on the official website of the referendum together with other information and updated statistics on turnout reported in 2h intervals. Hobartimus (talk) 09:44, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
 * It's not a question of the official name -- we ALWAYS describe the content of the referendum if at all possible. — Nightstallion 12:07, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
 * OK that's clear that's a good practice but the emphasis here is really on the if possible part. I see that in the case of the swiss referendum it was exactly you who opted for a shorter more correct title. My point which should have been brought up earlier is that this referendum has 3 questions which is already quite a lot to accurately describe in a title and even if two questions are merged that will be vague then. In more complex cases like this it's really not good to try to explain something in the title rather than the article body. Hobartimus (talk) 13:03, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
 * And even in higher education the question is not about all higher education fees, only fees paid by state-financed/state-subsidized students (about 50% of total) not all higher education fees/tuition. These are all things cannot be explained in the title, only article body.  Hobartimus (talk) 13:47, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
 * How about something like "Hungarian anti-reforms referendum, 2008" or "Hungarian reform abolishment referendum, 2008"? After all, there IS a common denominator... — Nightstallion 13:09, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * BTW, do you happen to know where we could get results? — Nightstallion 13:09, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure on the same site, here is a direct link with detailed stats and here a simpler one in English  Meanwhile they updated the English version also  just noticed. The results are 99.9% accurate only voters who voted on embassies remain to be counted. The results should be added in a nice table or something formatting is not that great as is now.

 * I could accept a descriptive name but it should be a good one preferably something semi-official at least, the only English translation I've seen so far was the simple "Referendum 2008". If you need more data you can try reading this it's some booklet for international observers and it's available in English, quite a few facts could be added from there. Unfortunately I don't see it using a descriptive name anywhere but that was just a quick glance. Hobartimus (talk) 13:31, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Mh. Per this one, how about simply "Hungarian fees abolishment referendum, 2008"? — Nightstallion 13:51, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure, on the Hungarian wiki where users there covered this since the idea of a referendum first came up back in 2006 they went with "2008-as magyarországi népszavazás" which translates into 2008 Referendum in Hungary, and they really have a lot of info there it's wild. Out of the descriptive ones I like this last version best out of the versions so far. Hobartimus (talk) 16:18, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, then we'll take that one, okay? — Nightstallion 16:41, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * It's ok for now Hobartimus (talk) 16:44, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
