Talk:Vata pagan uprising

Threw him into the danube?
I've been on that hill -- no way would his cart make it into the river. It's a steep fall to a very hard and brambly bottom. Dsol 23:33, 15 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Right. The "authoritative" source for the incident would be the Vienna Illuminated Chronicle, which says he hit a rock and claims that the river when flooded could not wash his blood away from it. So it'd be more correct to say that he hit the rocky riverbank and not the river itself. I'll change it. --BluePlatypus 15:49, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Vatha or Vata?
The bulk of the article says Vatha, but the title was recently moved to Vata. Someone familiar with the topic should either move the page to Vatha and change the bold intro, or change all the mentions of Vatha to Vata, set up the redirect page, and include a note on the alternate name at the begining of the article only. I suspect Vatha is more correct, and the page move is the better option, but I really do not know. Also, the begining should include (parenthetically) the topic title in Magyar, i.e. as it would appear in a Hungarian encyclopedia. -SM 01:42, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
 * The "Vata" form is the correct one. I refer to page 45 of the 2001 work written by Engel, Pál (The Realm of St Stephen: A History of Medieval Hungary, 895-1526, I. B. Tauris, ISBN 978-1-85043-977-6), and also to page 27 the 2008 book written by Miklós Molnár (A Concise History of Hungary, Cambridge University Press, ISBN 978-0-521-66736-4).

Pagan Uprising?
Pagan is a very broad term, encompassing any belief that is not Judeo-Christian. Can anyone with knowledge of the subject matter please reference what these people believed specifically or link to a wikipedia article on their specific religion? Ffejmopp (talk) 22:51, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
 * They believed in pagan gods. Take a look at pages like Shamanistic remnants in Hungarian folklore or Hungarian mythology.Fakirbakir (talk) 07:41, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
