User talk:Adam78/Archive1

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia!

Here are some tips to help you get started:


 * If you haven't already, please add your name to the new user log to let others know a little about yourself.
 * Read the article describing how to edit a page and feel free to experiment in the Sandbox.
 * When editing pages, use the preview button before submitting and try to fill in the summary box for every edit.
 * Eventually, read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * If you need help, post a question in the Newcomers' Village Pump or ask me on my talk page.
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck! Jrdioko

P.S. One last helpful hint. To sign your posts like I did above (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type (3 tildes), or to insert your name and timestamp, use ~ (4 tildes).

National Assembly of Hungary

 * I took a quick attempt at rewriting the article from a redirect that doesn't make much sense into a legitimate article. Given that you're Hungarian, though, you could surely do better job of expanding it from here than I could. --DMG413 02:34, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Attila Jozsef
Please see the WP:RfD discussion about this. I think the sense is that the article should probably be at Jozsef Attila. (We generally leave accents out of article names, since our english-speaking users generally don't know how to type them.) Is this acceptable to you? Noel (talk) 16:31, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)

PS: Wikipedia style is that people generally reply on the User_Talk: page of the person who wrote a message to them (that way, someone doesn't have to monitor a whole long list of User_Talk: pages - one for each person whom they are having a "conversation" with), so please leave any messages for me on my talk page (above).


 * Hi, I'm kind of stuck with this Attila Jozsef thing. If it were up to me, I'd do the move - I think you have made a good case that we should do with accents as we do with spelling (which is, unless there is common English usage without, to use the original). However, several others have already expressed a contrary opinion on this particular item, and haven't gone back to change it. I have brought up the issue at Wikipedia_talk:Naming conventions (use English), to see if we can get a formal policy in place. Please add a comment there. (Briefly!) Noel (talk) 12:50, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Hi, I went ahead and did the move - he's sufficiently poorly known in the West that I don't think there's any reason to list him without the accents. There's no policy yet, but if we're going to leave Zurich at Zürich (which I think it totally stupid, the standard English spelling everywhere in the English-speaking world is Zurich), this is nothing compared to that. Noel (talk) 03:06, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)


 * PS: Never, ever move a page by cutting and pasting the contents. This loses the edit history, and it's Very Bad. An admin just has to come along and fix it anyway, and it's more work for admins who have other things they need to be doing. Noel (talk) 03:14, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Right, I'm an admin - I take care of most requests on WP:RfD. I just deleted the redirect, after which I could move the article over. Noel (talk) 03:29, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Hungarian language
You might want to review Hungarian language closely. User:Antifinnugor has been changing major and minor points, mainly to reflect the position expressed in his user name (i.e. the alleged non-existence of the Finno-Ugric language family). As such, I think much of the changes should be considered POV. As for me, I am trying to stay out of this business as much as possible, mainly since I don't know anything about Hungarian, but also because I have been engaged earlier in several unpleasant debates with this user (see for example Talk:Finno-Ugric languages, Talk:Uralic languages). Kind regards  &mdash; mark &#9998; 17:32, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Hungarian and Grammar on "Uralic languages"
Hi, maybe you could help out with Hungarian grammar at Talk:Uralic languages. And Talk:Finno-Ugric languages languages, too.

Thanks, Nyenyec 21:38, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)


 * I think it would be useful if you could check the changes made on Uralic languages and Finno-Ugric languages from time to time. The editors there either know grammar but not Hungarian or vice versa. :) Nyenyec 04:04, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
 * Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
 * Multi-Licensing Guide
 * Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the " " template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:


 * Option 1
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR
 * Option 2
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace " " with "  ". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

You wrote about Márk Rózsavölgyi on its article, "One of the largest music stores in Budapest and in Central Europe". Is that "MCD Zeneszalon"? or "Fotex Record"?

When I went to Budapest over 8 years ago, there is MCD Zeneszalon looks out on Vörösmarty Tér and diagonally opposite to Kávéház Gerbeaud.

I went to Budapest last year, when "MCD Zeneszalon" had moved to the place of "Fotex Record".(!?)

When in doubt... (VFD)
Simply copy the title from the page you created, and link it like so: .

I think the problem here was that when the software processes the template, it has a habit of changing the non standard characters into unicode markup, which is not necessarily what you were looking for. So what happened is that it changed the whole thing into several unicode characters instead of that single unicode character... especially with the strange back tick. I fixed your problem for you. -- AllyUnion (talk) 10:44, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Your advice on the VfD page
Thank you for your advice:
 * "Simply copy the title from the page you created, and link it like so: ."

and for your help, but that's what I had done (as I read in the VfD instructions), and it didn't work for me -- that's why I asked for help. It still doesn't work really well for me: the template itself works though, but its link is red and it links to a new, non-existent page: Votes for deletion/PestszentlÅâ& whose title is even worse than the title in question. (BTW, I use Opera 7.54u1. I wonder if the fixed link works well for you.) Anyway, I hope that whoever wants to visit the page, will be able to do so sooner or later...

Head of State
Hey Adam,

I am fully aware that a provisional president is not the same thing as a king. That said, so long as we make it clear that Karl was King, and Karolyi was provisional president, I don't see what's wrong with showing continuity between monarchy and republic by having a table that can continue to be navigated through. john k 02:08, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I wouldn't want to have a different title for the box. To have the title be "Head of State of Hungary" would be annoying, I think. But if some other way could be done, I would support it - I agree with you that the way I had it was not ideal. john k 02:23, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I've seen that you started to order the names with diacritics in the categories. I'd like to do the same in Hungarian Wiki but when I asked if it would be a good idea, only two editors answered and one of them was against it. Could you please drop a line there that you support the idea? It's on Kocsmafal (lost somewhere among long pages of personal attacks by IGe and the likes :(

Hungary
Thanks for reverting that ad. I'm just wondering how you noticed – I have the page on my watchlist but I can't make it list the changes marked "minor". Is there a way to do that?

KissL 15:52, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

OK, I just understood: my watchlist is only showing the last change to each page I'm watching, so I only saw yours because I arrived after you had reverted it. I'll learn these things sooner or later :)

About the sentence I removed as obsolete: it is not true. (Thinking about it again, it never actually was.) The only context where 5% is involved is that a party needs 5% of the popular vote given to lists to be entitled to mandates on its national (compensation) list. There is no such restriction on forming a parliamentary fraction, once the MPs wishing to form that fraction are elected. (There once was a different numeric restriction, requiring that a fraction may not consist of less than 15 MPs, but this was abolished as unconstitutional after the general elections of 1998, whereby MIÉP gained 14 mandates, was clearly unable to join any of the other fractions, and was unwilling to be left without one.)

I thought about replacing that sentence with one that describes the correct "5% limit" but I couldn't think of a way to put it without explaining the entire system of general elections in Hungary, which would clearly be out of place. That's why I chose to just remove it. Maybe we could write an article about the election system sometime, I believe it is an interesting one.

Magyars
Could you please drop a word in the Magyars article talk? I am asking this in anticipation of further edit wars there and because I do not know whom else I could ask here in this field... I have studied the topic enough to know that the Finno-Ugric theory is clearly the only standard theory among scientists, but they will not believe me, because pages on the internet are suggesting that all the theories are equally "accepted". No normal archaelogist, for example, would ever agree with the Hunnish or the Sumerian theory...Or has the situation really changed that much over the several past years in Hungary (are there new findings/arguments/discoveries?)? Juro 01:48, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

In fact, the research based on linguistics only is inaccurate and most times doesn't coincide with ethnic origins. The example given is good; Bulgarians were Slavicized and so they speak "Bulgarian" now, a Slavonian tongue. The same happens with Croatians. Most Italians are not Romans but Barbarians, yet they speak Italian. Romanians are not Latin at all, despite their language. The Franks were Germanic, but French is a Latin language, and so on (in any case, not Celtic, as the original Gaul people were absorbed by the Franks, Normans, etc.). The supporters of the Ugro-Finnic theory fail in explaining which was the language of the Huns and deny the fact that the rovás used by Árpád's Magyars was exactly the same used by Huns and Avars. They also deliberatery ignore the fact that Sumerian language was undecipherable until researchers used Magyar as the key. They still fail in explaining where did the Magyar myths come from - because even if they are myths (I mean, the Turul, the Hind, etc.) they belong to the cultural ancestry of every people. You cannot expect from Greeks to have other than Greek mythology, would you? or perhaps from Scandinavians to have other than Odin, Thor etc. in their myths, if not from their own people, would you? So, which "Ugro-Finnic" myth does exist in Magyar tradition? Why only Scythian-Hun legends remained? Why the legendary characters still have Sumerian names (while in other cultures that inherited the same myhtology, they have changed the names)?

Hungarian versions of place names in articles pertaining to Romania
Hi! There is a bit of a controversy evolving about the Hungarian versions of place names in articles pertaining to Romania. Criztu has started to delete the Hungarian (and in one case, German) variants of place names from the following articles, claiming that they were irrelevant: (Harghita, Covasna_(county), Cluj).

Hungarian alphabet
Hi, Adam78,

You are right about the abbreviations, my mistake.


 * A magyar helyesírás sz abályai
 * MH SZ
 * A MAGYAR HELYESÍRÁS SZ ABÁLYAI

But then we have to find an other example (which still makes sense): I wanted to demonstrate the three cases of composite letters (e.g. sz, Sz and SZ) in actual usage, possibly with the same word.

About the simplifying principle: also my fault. I relied onto a book by István Kniezsa "A magyar helyesírás története" (1959), which is old, and it stated about the 9th and 10th edition of MHSZ, that the simplifying principle was not present. I did not look it up in my 11th edition (third reprint, 1986), which is older, but still current, at home. Quite a mistake.

Thank you for helping to make the article more accurate.

I explained my reason on the talk page: unlike most of the examples on that page, which are taken from the table in the external link, they are unsourced. For the English-Hungarian pair (which a bilingual dictionary would source), I have the further question: Is ház a loan word from German Haus? If so (and you probably have better sources on this than I do) it really doesn't belong in the article, any more than the numerous loans between English and otherwise unrelated languages, such as teak and Malayālam tēkka.

Saint Stephen's Basilica
May I kindly ask you to move it back? My move had nothing to do with national feelings. Rather, at Talk:Dresden Frauenkirche it was established that a wikipedia community consensus is to name churches in their native languages rather than their English name. Halibutt 03:08, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
 * I disagree with that interpretation. The consensus that I interpreted is to name the articles by how they are most commonly referred to in English, meaning that the Dresden church should be at "Frauenkirche" because that is the term by which it is best-known in English. "Szent István-bazilika" is not the term that the Budapest church is known by in English- Saint Stephen's Basilica is, however. Olessi 06:31, 4 November 2005 (UTC)


 * As I noted before the voting, it's aim was to establish a universal rule, as rules have to be applied either universally or not applied at all. Otherwise we're simply promoting someone's (in this case German-language) POV over the POV of the others. Simple googletest shows that the church in Dresden is called "Church of Our Lady" rather than "Frauenkirche" in English and no English-language dictionary supports the version that Frauenkirche is an English word at all. Yet, it was decided to throw the Use English out of the window and I'm fine with that, as long as we are consistent. If someone has a better interpretation of the voting he/she should note that before the vote was made, like I did. Not afterwards. Halibutt 16:06, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Unfortunately regarding a project like Wikipedia, I do not believe that a universal rule regarding names will ever be accepted by the various international contributors. That is why I agree with "Name your pages in English and place the native transliteration on the first line of the article unless the native form is more commonly used in English than the English form." I dislike Google tests. Compare the following searches using the English Google and only English results: As shown by those searches, quotation marks can make all the difference in searches (compare the placement of marks in your original search). I also disagree with your inference that German gets special treatment- notice that the article is not at Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche, but at Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church. Would you prefer that it be at Emperor William Memorial Church? Compare the other churches at Category:Churches in Germany. Frauenkirche is currently named that because of usage in English, nothing more. Olessi 16:47, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Különös éjszaka
Hello, I downloaded a song called "Különös éjszaka" by Sárosi Katalin. I really like the song, and wondered if you could tell me what Különös éjszaka means, and if Sárosi Katalin is a big star in Hungary.

1,000,000th article
Adam, I am still not convinced that this event does not fall under the self-reference category. Actually, there is even more to it than that. Wikipedia is also not a crystal ball. Item #3 of that policy is especially applicable. The probability of the event is calculated on an unverifiable extrapolation, and, as such, very likely falls under the no original research policy as well. Thus, the entry was deleted due to a combination of its being a self-reference, an unverifiable extrapolation

Seth F. Henriett
Hello Adam78! I noticed that you are Hungarian, and that you are interested in autistic savants. Yesterday I noticed an article about Hungarian savant writer/artist, Seth F. Henriett. Unfortunately, as I cannot read Hungarian, I cannot verify the information about her, for instance I don't know whether the two literary competitions she was in are real. There is an interesting interview about her on a TV programme, and I would especially like somebody who does know Hungarian to read it and translate it, so we can verify the information. --EuropracBHIT 10:17, 7 December 2005 (UTC).

Azért írok neked, és még két-három magyar wikipédiásnak, mert szeretnék vmi szervezkedést elindítani a magyar történelemmel illetve a határon túli magyarsággal kapcsolatos oldalak ügyében. Úgy látszik, apró eredmények eléréséért is nagy harcokat kell vívni a szomszédainkkal, akik rendszerint sokkal jobban szervezettek, felkészültebbek és öntudatosabbak nálunk, így a történelmünket érintő cikkek vagy gyatra minőségűek vagy elfogultak vagy egyszerűen elhallgatják a nekünk kedvező tényeket. Kicsit fáradt vagyok már az állandó magányos csatározástól (bár a legérzékenyebb témákat eddig elkerültem) és jól jönne néha a segítség. A wikipedia azon az elven működik, hogy a sok-sok szerző egymást állandóan javítva, korrigálva, egymással vitatkozva jobbítja a cikkeket. Úgy tűnik, mi túl kevesen vagyunk ahhoz, hogy ez természetes módon, tudatos szervezkedés nélkül működjön. Ha van vmi ötleted vagy csak néha benéznél egy-egy felforrósodó topikba, előre is köszi! Üdv.

Hungarian related question
Hello!

Sorry for bothering you, but I've seen that you're a Hungarian guy interested in lingwistics, so I hope you might be able to answer an eazy question:

I've seen that Hungarian use prefixes on verbs to slightly modify their meaning, and in this it's similar to German. Does this feature have similar phonetic (phonemic) consequences?

Eg.: German beenden is often realised in speech als &lt;where ? is a glottal stop like in the Hebrew name Ze'ev&gt;. So if we have three different "words": kint (outside), kiint (to wave out (?)), and kínt &lt;or kín|-t&gt; (pain [akk.]), does spoken Hungarian differentiate btw. all three forms (like ['kint], ['kinːt], ), or are there only two forms (['kint] and ['kinːt])?

(If you want to answer, please do it on your talk page, as I myself don't have a permanent one.) M.
 * --222.239.145.229 23:58, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

I think it mainly depends on how formal, how articulated the speech is, but I'm afraid it's not typical in Hungarian, especially not in casual, everyday speech.

I tried to collect examples for the three cases:
 * when the adjacent vowels are long, e.g. in alááll (stand under sth), eléér (reach/overtake in front of sth), utóónozás (follow-up tinning)
 * when one of the adjacent vowels is long, e.g. kiír (write out sth swhere), előöntözés (preparatory watering)
 * when both adjacent vowels are short, e.g. leesik (fall down), odaad (hand over), kiint (wave out).

I can't hear a difference between kiint and kínt when I put them into coherent sentences and pronounce them normally.

However, I must add three things:
 * 1) It certainly doesn't cause misunderstanding in the case of a and e, since their long counterparts (á, é) are distinctly different in quality as well.
 * 2) Long vowels as such are usually formed more tense (i.e., closer to the corners of the vowel chart) and short vowels are formed more lax, even when they are lengthened/doubled, so there may remain some difference in case of i + i vs. í etc.
 * 3) I'm not a phonetics expert. :) I think you'd better ask Sicboy (who wrote much of Hungarian phonology) whether he agrees with me.

NB: Drop me an email if I can help you in studying Hungarian. I'm very much interested in that! :-)

Adam78 01:23, 18 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Okay, I am here! In normal speech, Hungarian simply doesn't use the glottal stop.My father cannot pronounce it, even he tries it very hard, and gets mad when watching BBC :) so it is not a Hungarian sound. Therefore kint is ['kint], kínt ['kiːnt] or rather ['kint], as in speech /í/>[i] usually in closed syllables, and kiint ['kiint], or [kiːnt], but never [kint]. There is one case, where one can use the glottal stop: if the verb is contrasted with an other one with the same prefix, e.g. Nem kiette, kiitta! (he did not eat the whole, he drank the whole) ['nɛm ki'ɛtːɛ, ki'itːɒ], or ['nɛm ki'ʔɛtːɛ, ki'ʔitːɒ]. At least, I tried to teach my father how to pronounce the [ʔ] with these examples. --Sicboy 13:59, 20 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi! As far as I know, in standard German, all words that start with a vowel in spelling actually start with a glottal stop in reality. So the glottal stop inside is already there in the word Ende  from which it is actually derived.--Tamas 10:32, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:List of cities, towns, and villages in Hungary (A-M)
I'm still planning to separate it to shorter articles, but the Hungarian version doesn't look really good now (some letters have their own articles, some don't, it's not really consistent) and I bet it's full of blatant errors – the original version stated that Eger's population is 9000, for example. I spotted that one, because having lived there for years I know Eger's population is around 57.000, but what if there are other errors in that long article? Also, the last complete database with all the data about all towns is from the 2001 census, and lots of things happened since then – villages becoming towns, spellings of names changed, etc. –, and basically the information will have to be gathered from several other sources. Anyway, I'll try to do something about it soon.

About Bp. city parts: Actually I was thinking of terms like lakótelep and that they should be translated, but recess horse would be a fantastic name for Zugló :-D

Communism vs. Socialism In Hungary
Yes, you are right that socialism and communism are not the same. However, the MSZP and SZDSZ parties are, while officially socialist in nature, actually communist if you look at who their leaders are major proponents are. It is the same dirty communist bastards who rode Hungary into the ground and terrorized the populace before '89. Take Medgyessy for example. You cannot deny that he is and while in office was a hard-line communist, even if an idiotic one with little sense of reality.

On the same note, look at how even to this very day, people such as Lovas Istvan are being persecuted for their conservative views. Every Hungarian I know insists that Lovas is too extreme, too prejudiced, too right wing. Why? Because he dares to comment on the corruption and filth eating away at our once-great nation? Because he dares to stand up for the mostly Catholic conservative groups that have suffered the most during the communist years? Anyway, that isn't the point. The point is that whil the SZDSZ and MSZP are officially "only" socialist, they are the de facto communist parties today. Especially SZDSZ, there is no way you can deny that, unless of course, you are an SZDSZ supporter. By the way, you know what Evelyn Waugh said about socialism, right? I can only repeat his words: "FUCK SOCIALISM!"

P.S.: I do like socialism as they have it in Austria. That form of civic socialism works. But the hard-line, exploitative, denigrating socialism that is pushed on by such scum as Gyurcsany and his cronies is despicable. I will celebrate the day when the very last one of the old communist guard has died and is six feet under. Only then can the idiotic Hungarian masses, the plebeians, pull their heads out of the sand and see the light of day. I will wait...


 * Ok, fair enough. I get your POV comment. However, we do agree that socialist is still applicable to describing both parties and their ideologies without being POV, right? Thanks though. --PistolPower 00:50, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Hello! Thanks for the comment on my talk page -- I moved the list you referred to incorrectly, and I'll make sure not to repeat my mistake. :)

Please note, though, that the list should be moved/renamed in the interests of disambiguation. The current title "List of Hungarian newspapers" is inappropriate, since it could mean either newspapers in Hungary (the country) or newspapers in Hungarian (the language). The nonambiguous form would be "List of newspapers in Hungary" since it more accurately describes the intent of the article. Thanks!

Milestones table
I just reverted your latest edit to Milestone statistics. The only reason the 1,000,000 row was added in the first place was because people kept adding 600,000 to the table when en: passed that mark. I don't think we need to add 2,000,000 until people start adding 1,100,000 (or whatever else) to the table when en: gets that high.

I would stick with the word Transit, however I think in this context both terms are interchangeable.

dzs
Well, dzs is most probably ekvivalent to Polish dź rather than dż. The former is pronounced "softer", using the middle of tongue, the latter is pronounced "harder", with the tip of the tongue. Maybe neither one is an exact equivalent of the Hungarian sound, but... at the end of the day, does it really matter?

The sound itself is present in other Slavic languages as well, see e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croatian_language, but again, they have 2 similar letters, dž and đ...

RE:Redundant categories
I'm sorry for the mistake, but I find that whole Music festivals category a little confusing. I thought it is a list and an accumulative main category for festival-subcategories at the same time.

If the intent of the main one is what you said, then the whole "Articles in the category" section should be cleaned out (and I mean erased), because every entry within it belongs to its own [Nationality] music festivals category.

Category
Adam, I noticed that you moved various geographical articles from category "Geography of Hungary" to "Subdivisions of Hungary" and I must say that this is wrong. Subdivisions are political and not geographical regions. Subdivisions of Hungary are counties of Hungary. These regions you moved to "Subdivisions" category are not political units, but only geographical regions and they belong to "Geography" category only. So, please move it back as it was, ok? PANONIAN  (talk)  02:19, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * The Regions of Hungary and Counties of Hungary belong to "Subdivisions of Hungary" category and nothing else. Even cities do not belong to "Subdivisions" but to Geography. I also suggest that you write articles about all regions of Hungary (mentioned in that article) and place these articles into "Subdivisions of Hungary" category where they belong. PANONIAN   (talk)  02:27, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, I do not agree that Bačka, Banat, and Baranja are political units. They were political units in the past, but today they are only geographical units. Of course you have today Baranya county and Bacs-Kiskun county, but we have separate articles about them. The articles "Bačka", "Banat" and "Baranya (region)" are about geographical regions. Danube-Kris-Mures-Tisza is an political unit, but it is trans-national political unit. The way I see it, the "Subdivisions of Hungary" are those political units that are entirelly located within Hungarian borders. So, I think that "Danube-Kris-Mures-Tisza" would be better placed into "Geography" too. Of course DKMT could be placed into both categories, but problem is that I think that it should be placed into same category for all 3 countries. If it is now into "Subdivisions of Hungary" then it should be also in the "Subdivisions of Serbia" and "Subdivisions of Romania", not in the "Geography of Serbia" and "Geography of Romania". Since I mostly arranging Serbian categories, I think that "Geography of Serbia" is better place for this article than "Subdivisions of Serbia" because it is not entirelly within Serbian borders. Same apply to Hungary and Romania. We can discuss this further if you want, but for now, I will move all these articles back to "Geography". Also, I will write articles about all political (NUTS) regions of Hungary, and these articles will be placed into "Subdivisions of Hungary" category, thus you will have decent number of articles in that category too. PANONIAN   (talk)  12:29, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I wrote new articles now and changed categories where I thought that it should be changed. Problem with these regions like Banat, which are located in more than one country is that we should place them in the same category for every country. If the article is located in the "Geography of Serbia" category, then it should be also in "Geography of Hungary" and "Geography of Romania", and not in the "Subdivisions of Hungary" or "Romanian historical regions" (no matter that last two categories are wrong because there is big difference between history and geography and between political and geographical regions). Regarding articles such is Danube-Kris-Mures-Tisza, I agree that it could belong to both - geography and subdivisions, but we should place it into same category for all 3 countries, either it should be into Geography of (Romania, Serbia, Hungary), either into Subdivisions of (Romania, Serbia, Hungary), but not in one category for one country and another category for another country. If standards for this does not exist we should create some, because otherwise we would have chaos in categorization. By my opinion, geography category is better for Danube-Kris-Mures-Tisza because it extend across national borders, and the word "subdivision" have important part "sub-", which imply that this is something within the country, and which does not extend across its border. Regarding the cities, I think it could be left in subdivisions, because cities are in fact subdivisions (they have its own municipal governments). PANONIAN   (talk)  14:30, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * All right I moved Danube-Kris-Mures-Tisza to "Subdivisions" category for all 3 countries. However, Banat, Bačka, and Baranya are not political units and should stay in "Geography" category. Instead of them, we have clear political units such are Baranya and Bacs-Kiskun counties in Hungary, Osijek-Baranja county in Croatia, West Bačka, North Bačka and South Bačka districts in Serbia, etc. Since we already have these articles about political units, as well as articles about historical ones (Bacs-Bodrog, Banat of Temeswar, etc.), we should regard Banat, Bačka, and Baranya articles as articles describing geographical regions, which they in fact are.
