Talk:Czechoslovak myth

Extent
- The reason I wrote that the myth extended from 1918 to 1948 is because of the following text: “The myth of Czechoslovak exceptionalism was promoted ... throughout the First Czechoslovak Republic and the Czechoslovak government-in-exile, and in the Third Czechoslovak Republic until the 1948 Communist coup.”

Given this, as well as the desire to avoid internal contradictions, should we not restore the 1948 date? - Biruitorul Talk 18:43, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
 * - The myth of Czechoslovak exceptionalism is to a considerable extent promoted to this day. What I meant is that the idea of Czechoslovakia as a "democratic paradise" and "heaven for minorities" of sort, centers around the idealized picture of the First Czechoslovak Republic, which lasted from 1918 to 1938.--Darwinek (talk) 20:14, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Error
I saw the entry at DYK this morning and did not care for it. Here's what I posted at WP:ERRORS

Nobody seemed to notice – presumably because we're in the dog days – and now it has scrolled off the main page, as it only got 12 hours. Now, before I take this to AfD, let's see if there is a sensible alternative. Perhaps we might merge to another page such as:
 * Czechoslovakia
 * Czech folklore
 * History of Czechoslovakia
 * History of Czechoslovakia (1918–1938)

Note that none of these pages so much as mention this supposed myth which is nearly an orphan page. How come that this supposedly central myth has been missed out?

 * I don't think this should have been promoted, especially not with "offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith" while the article's neutrality was rightfully in question.
 * Agree that this article is a POV fork and the term is not notable. I would support a merge into History of the Jews in Czechoslovakia (which doesn't even have a lede, let alone a section about the First Republic), and History of Czechoslovakia (1918–1938). – filelakeshoe (t / c) 🐱 15:20, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Ooh, but there is a First Czechoslovak Republic section in History of the Jews in the Czech Republic, what a mess! – filelakeshoe (t / c) 🐱 15:26, 1 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Since the article opens with The Czechoslovak myth is a term used by some scholars, such as Andrea Orzoff, I suppose the first thing to do is establish the extent of this usage; i.e., how many others? ——  Serial  15:24, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The article already cites several academic sources which discuss this term; all but one are independent of Orzoff. Yes, most Czechoslovak history topics on Wikipedia are terribly underdeveloped, but that does not make this a non-notable topic or POV fork. And no, Orzoff is not non-notable, as there are several reviews of her book (which also discuss this term, and could be cited in the article). (t · c)  buidhe  17:32, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
