Confusing sentence
At the top, it's written "Pest-Buda became a global city with the unification of Buda, Óbuda, and Pest on 17 November 1873, with the name 'Budapest' given to the new capital." I cannot parse what that is trying to say at all, it became a city called "Pest-Buda" and the capital city of the city is Budapest??? In the etymology section it is explained clearly as "The previously separate towns of Buda, Óbuda, and Pest were in 1873 officially unified[44] and given the new name Budapest. Before this, the towns together had sometimes been referred to colloquially as "Pest-Buda"." 173.220.72.100 (talk) 12:49, 11 October 2019 (UTC)
- The sentence in lead tries to convey the same meaning as the other sentences you quoted. It’s pretty obvious for me, and I have no other idea how to say it. If you have, don’t hesitate to change it in the article directly. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 21:30, 11 October 2019 (UTC)
Removing access date of book sources with URL
@Trappist the monk: In this edit, you removed access dates of a {{cite book}} and a {{cite encyclopedia}}. Why? Both have URLs, which may get rotten or point to different content after some time—AFAIK this is why access dates are important. (Other changes in your edit are absolutely worth them, of course.) —Tacsipacsi (talk) 11:30, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
- Neither are ephemeral sources. In the case of A History of Hungary, the
{{cite book}}
template specifies the|year=1990
publication and|url=
links to a google facsimile of the physical book. It might be argued that|access-date=
is necessary for the Encyclopædia Britannica template. But, that template has a|year=2008
publication date which implies that the original editor consulted a 2008 edition of the encyclopedia and provided the link to the on-line article as a courtesy link (2008 does not appear in this archived snapshot of that page made on the access date). - —Trappist the monk (talk) 12:46, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
Too long
The introduction is too long. Kapeter77 (talk) 13:14, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
huge hole in the timeline of 'Early history' section
What happened to the Roman settlement/colony? Did Slavs or Turkic Bolgars re-settle the site? There is quite some time between this, and the arrival of the Magyars (Arpads) circa 890 A.D. - is there no Reliable Source info to fill this centuries-long void? By the way, a travel channel used as a RS is NOT a very good idea - and I doubt it would pass RS guidelines if someone challenged it. 104.169.21.247 (talk) 14:27, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
An unmentioned article of the origin of Buda
This article may be worthy of citing or, at least, of mentioning
