Lack of Large Bodies of Water?
Balaton, Danube, Tisza and Dráva, that's not what I would call a lack of large bodies of water, especially considering the rather small size of the country. Dontaskme 00:07, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

This waters are not too large if we see the European average, and there are no seas, big lakes (lake Balaton is not too big if we see round Europe), big rivers (except Danube) and oceans. Gubbubu 07:32, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

Balaton is the second biggest lake in Europe, or not? So I think the conclusion is far away from reality.. Aetil

Only Russia has bigger lake in Europe. --Celebration1981 (talk) 08:45, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletation
This article should be completely rewritten and eventually merged with the general Hungary article. The general article has a much better written culture section. This article ends up with mentioning an "internet phenomena" - Speak the Rapper.

 * I understand that there is a set of articles "culture of ...". Of course Hungary should also have this. But this article should be completely rewritten. I have changed the proposed deletation to a proposal for rewriting. --PeterKristo 10:24, 23 February 2007 (UTC)


 * No offence meant, but I think this article is extremely poor for the reasonably important topic it's supposed to cover. It has a barely readable and off-point introduction, fails to capture the multicultural face of the nation's culture, has a poor structure and misses quite a few important points (like the cultural aspects of education and science). I hope some expert Wikipedian can drop by to make it better, it's way too big a task for me. 81.182.13.220 (talk) 21:12, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree. First of all, "deletation" is not a word.  I guess the writer meant "deletion".  I have been editing this article for syntax (sentence structure and word order), word usage, and punctuation, and I am astonished at how poorly parts of this article are written.  There are sentences and phrases that just do not belong in a discussion of culture, for example.  I do not know how to merge this article on Hungarian culture (or the culture of Hungary) into the article on Hungary; perhaps it has already been done.  Someone who knows about Hungary really needs to read this article and add accurate information (or add it to the culture section in the article on Hungary, as was suggested).CorinneSD (talk) 21:23, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

Culture of Hungary is not equal with Hungarian Culture
therefore we must open a new article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.44.7.84 (talk) 16:46, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
 * In the English language, "the Culture of Hungary" is equivalent to "Hungarian culture". Most native speakers of English would say "Hungarian culture" rather than "the culture of Hungary".CorinneSD (talk) 21:25, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
 * How exactly are those different?
 * I just suggested to merge the other article into here. Not sure what's supposed to be the difference. Also German culture redirects to Culture of Germany.

Would you say that American culture is the same as the culture of America? American culture is native to America (whatever that may be), the culture of America is a description of the diversity of imported and native cultures.

The real problem I see is that the Hungarian culture article is too weak and uninformative, thus isn't worth keeping. BlueMist (talk) 06:04, 4 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Good point, however: American culture also redirects to Culture of the United States and in my opinion "the diversity of imported cultures" should rather gets its own section/s or paragraphs in the article instead of having two articles. It's really inconvenient to have two articles here. Especially as those would conflate; you said it yourself: one would be about "culture [that] is native to America" and the other about "the diversity of imported and native cultures".

 * Where is Native American culture&redlink=1? The difference is that native American culture has almost disappeared, while Hungarian culture (like Chinese, French, German, etc. cultures) tends to absorb imported cultures. BlueMist (talk) 12:06, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Native American culture is at Native American cultures in the United States. Klbrain (talk) 22:26, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

Tone concerns
The article's tone is not objective. Phrases such as “This is especially impressing considering the relative small 10 million country and might be the highest per capita in the world.” or “black and white designs as delicate as lace and give evidence of the people's wonderfully subtle artistic feeling”, unreferenced, do not belong in an encyclopaedic article. I would've edited it myself but I'd rather stay out of potentially controversial issues in an article that I have no contribution to. --Urzică (talk) 18:52, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Potential corrections
Is Hedi Lamarr in section 'Film' meant to be Hedy Lamarr? -- Alanthehat (talk) 00:02, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Architecture
First paragraph: What's a territorial abbey? I never heard that phrase. Is the word "territorial" necessary? Second paragraph: This is an astounding sentence! The most important Hungarian architecture is located in other countries? This sentence needs explaining.CorinneSD (talk) 21:16, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

Added link to explain this. BlueMist (talk) 06:12, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

Eastern Europe vs. Central Europe
Regarding the edit changing "Eastern Europe" to "Central Europe" on November 16, 2013, I don't know enough about European history and geography to make any choice here, but I just thought I'd point out that "Eastern Europe" is the category that appears in WP:PROJDIR/EUROPE. "Central Europe" does not appear in that list. I don't know if that has any bearing on the correctness of the edit or not. – CorinneSD (talk) 22:24, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

Good point. Central Europe is correct and should be added to that list. BlueMist (talk) 06:15, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
