Talk:Sărmașu

Seems that Rokarudi insist. It should be ok if other sites (eg. http://wikimapia.org ) would not threat the names of villages and towns with the description from right panel of Wikipedia's villages and towns articles. I think that is enough to specify other names in the first rows of the article like it is done everywhere. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dicocodino (talk • contribs) 15:25, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

It is inappropiate to use Sǎrmaşu-Nagysármás as name of the town, because Nagysármás it's just the name translated in hungarian. In all documents the name of the town is Sǎrmaşu. For example in romanian the word for London is Londra and no one pretend to use the name London-Londra at a large scale over the internet where a lot of people have access.

There are several villages and towns in English Wikipedia in the same situation, especially from Mureş County where live between 20% and 30% hungarians from the total of County population. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dicocodino (talk • contribs) 12:26, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

I agree with you, but my edit is in accordance with wiki practices, and also with Romanian laws. In Romania, above 20% bilingual signs are used to mark the placenames. This is the Romanian law, not Hungarian. So, if you go to Sǎrmaşu the signboard at the borders of the village will be Sǎrmaşu above, Nagysármás below. I think you can be proud that in Romania bilingual signboards, except for certain exceptions, are fair and contain official and alternative names with the same size, unlike in Slovakia, for example, where at a speed of 50 you can not read the minority language text, as it is written with small fonts on minuscule blue board.--Rokarudi 16:04, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

But the problem is that some sites use the name of the village from the right panel to show the name of that village and it's simple to understand that is wrong. I gave example Wikimapia. Why is not enough to specify the name of the village in the first paragraph of the article as it is in all articles from entire Wikipedia? I call disinformation what you are doing at this article, and not only in this article (see where a WikiBot undo your added tag). The romanian law just say to have a bilingual sign at the entrance of a village of town, but not to modify documents. Why you are not doing this add in romanian version of the article where romanians administrators of Wikipedia whould see? Dicocodino (talk) 18:55, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
 * This is English Wikipedia, please stop squabbling over whether the Hungarian name should be included in the infobox, there is a field in the infobox for the alternate name, so it is perfectly proper to use it. Many Romanian sources use the Hungarian name as shown at WP:EAR. Focus on improving the article with details of history, geography, industry, agriculture, geography, geo-coordinates, etc. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 01:58, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Fine. To be how you want even if this is disinformation. I think that I came with enough proves to sustain what I said. Dicocodino (talk) 02:48, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
