Talk:Târgu Mureș

POV?
Some of this seems a bit POV, especially the paragraph that begins, "In March 1990..." The person who wrote this is obviously trying to be even-handed, but on delicate matters like this, it would probably be better to cite conflicting view from responsible sources. -- Jmabel | Talk 01:31, Nov 18, 2004 (UTC)

POV2
The following paragraphs are extremely POV:

"After 1918 the city of Târgu Mure&#351;, like the rest of Transylvania, was taken out of the control of the Austro-Hungarian empire and become part of Romania. As a consequence it started to have a significant economic success that lasted until World War II. The old provincial appearance changed greatly in this period. The spectacular city hall was built thanks to the economic success of the 1920s.

From 1940, under the Second Vienna Award, the city of Mure&#351; was temporarily occupied by then-fascist Hungary. The anti-Semitic and anti-Romanian policy promoted by fascist Hungary seriously undermined the economic and demographic potential of the city. It re-entered the Romanian administration after 1944 when the Romanian army succeeded in liberating it."

During the period in question, the huge majority of the inhabitants were Hungarians, so it's unlikely they objected to Hungarian rule and that they felt liberated by Romanian forces. --Tamas 15:43, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

There is some true in it, but I agree that is written from the romanian POV. It should be re-written in a more neutral way. MihaiC 19:26, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

1944
The entry originally stated Romanian forces liberated TM in 1944. While Romanians living there must have indeed felt liberated, Hungarians (who were at the time a dominant majority in the city) probably did not, to put it mildly. So liberated seems highly POV in this context, therefore I changed it to more neutral reoccupied.--Tamas 22:05, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Supression of minorities
The article talks about the "anti-Romanian policy promoted by Hungary" in 1940-1944, and rightly so. However, there is not a single word about the anti-Hungarian policies of the nationalist-communist regime from 195x to 1989. This is a gross imbalance which we have to address somehow. Any ideas?--Tamas 30 June 2005 15:26 (UTC)
