Talk:Bratislava

BRD

I proposed, relying on History of Bratislava, the following discreet addition: The present name of the city was adopted in 1919; it had been revived as its Slovak name, from earlier Slovak forms, by Pavel Jozef Šafárik in the 1830's.

What's wrong with it? The official name under the Habsburgs was Preßburg, although I do not think we need to make any more than this out of it. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 14:08, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Although I did not delete your sentence, I do not think it should be part of the lead. This information can be found (in more detail) right in the next paragraph. On the other hand, I am fine either way. Tankred (talk) 23:43, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Two paragraphs after, after the section break; which is why I didn't see it. Surely this is, like Brasilia, one of the more notable facts about the city; it is rare for such name changes to take. 18:59, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

The transcription of pronunciation should list both variants, with -ti- and -ci-. Jakub.marecek (talk) 09:19, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

infobox issue

Can someone fix the problem? Red lettering announces "Expansion depth exceeded" in my browser. Tony (talk) 11:46, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

There seems to be a problem with the "part_fold" field, which shows and hides the text/links. I've removed it. MarkBA ^{what's up?/my mess} 13:44, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Disputes

This page appears to be one in a large number of articles which are involved in disputes regarding Hungarian and Slovakian issues. A centralized page to discuss these matters has been setup at User talk:Elonka/Hungarian-Slovakian experiment. Please bring up any further disputes, or concerns about the editors involved in those disputes, at that page, thanks. --Elonka 23:05, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

I am reverting the change of date in Names section as there is no source documenting change given and there is ongoing discussion on Hungarian and Slovak geographical names at User talk:Elonka/Hungarian-Slovakian experiment#Names and this article is within its scope. Please, discuss changes of this kind before making them, you are welcome to join the discussion there. --Ruziklan (talk) 21:26, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Bratislava as a part of the Hungarian WikiProject

Looks like some of you think that Bratislava has nothing to do with Hungary. May I ask you that why are you denying the fact that Bratislava (a.k.a. Pozsony or Pressburg/Preßburg) played a key role throughout the history of Hungary? Why are you disputing the fact that it was the capital of Hungary for centuries (from 1531 to 1784 to be exact), that Hungarian kings were crowned in Bratislava (at least until Székesfehérvár, the traditional Hungarian coronation town was under Ottoman rule) and many famous Hungarians were born in Bratislava? —Preceding unsigned comment added by CoolKoon (talk • contribs) 13:21, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

The edit-warring about the WikiProject template stops, now. The next person to change it gets blocked. --Elonka 13:54, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Headquarters

The original sentence "The headquarters of many of Slovakia's large businesses and financial institutions are in Bratislava as well." was changed by 99.241.67.84 to "Many of Slovakia's large businesses and financial institutions are headquartered in Bratislava as well." It was reverted by Trusilver. I do not understand what is wrong with changed version, can somebody enlighten me, please? In my view original version is worse. --Ruziklan (talk) 21:23, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

"Slovakia's first bank was founded in 1842"

Wich bank? And was founded in wich country? Is this an attempt to create a legacy of a state wich was erected in January 1, 1993 (or in March 14, 1939) ? Slovakia did not exist in 1842, therefore it could not have for example a bank. --Rembaoud (talk) 15:03, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

The bank was Prešporská sporiteľňa, účastinná spoločnosť. I will not comment on the "political" part of your comment because it has nothing to do with this article. Tankred (talk) 23:26, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
