Talk:Istrianism

There is no such thing as Istrian nationalism
Hello there, the source regarding Istrian nationalism is questionable per WP:QUESTIONABLE as it is showing inaccurate data. For example number of Istrians in Istria County where it's written number of 233,000 (2002e) even the whole county had 203,304 of inhabitants per 2001 census. In that time there was only 8,865 people who declared themselves under regional affiliation. Also the county seat is not Pula, it is Pazin. Another remark is on the term Istrianess which I could not find anywhere else except in this wiki article. Opatijac97 (talk) 17:33, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Fair enough with Istrian nationalism, but notice that "Istrianess" is used in a few sources . Although I'd agree that it is a minor term. Super   Ψ   Dro  19:11, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
 * It really is, I see now. Ok, if you want you can put it back. Opatijac97 (talk) 12:05, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Done. Now with sources. Super   Ψ   Dro  13:42, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

As mentioned already in a description, there indeed is no term like "Istrian nationalism". As already explained by, it is a questionable from a book that is already 20 years old. Istrians are a regional-declared people and not a nation. "Istrianess" seems to me like just another term for Istrianism. In fact, I even believe that "Istrianess" is more used in English than the term "Istrianism". What do you think? --Koreanovsky (talk) 11:13, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Istrianism gets 29 results in Google Scholar while Istrianness and Istrianess get 23. Per WP:COMMONNAME, Istrianism is better here, and it is also consistent with Dalmatianism and other -isms in Europe or the world. Note that -ness may be seen as informal in Wikipedia, see Britishness (now a redirect). Super   Ψ   Dro  14:19, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
