Review commentary

 * Notified: Marek69, WikiProject Slovakia, WikiProject Cities, ''WikiProject Hungary

I am nominating this featured article for review because I rather naïvely pointed to it during a recent FAC as an example of a compact FA on an older city. Several other people, including some regular FA reviewers, looked more closely and noted serious concerns  with the article, including doubts that the originally promoted version would  meet current FA standards. Daniel Case (talk) 03:33, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Addendum: I have not notified MarkBA, the original FA nominator, because he was indefinitely blocked as a sockmaster a long time ago (which, I suppose, might have a lot to do with the article's decline). Daniel Case (talk) 03:48, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Demote per my comments linked in DC's original FAR nom statement.  upstate NYer  23:05, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Please see the instructions at WP:FAR; the FAR phase is for article improvement, declarations are entered if the article moves to FARC. Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 23:16, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Woops, didn't know that. Will keep my eye out for that stage.  upstate NYer  01:14, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
