Talk:Districts of Prague

There is a grammar mistake concerning the description of the 7th district ("additionelly" instead of "additionally")

best regards

I hope no one minds that I've pretty much redone this article. I've left the cleanup tag on top until I get a chance to redo the chart below. I'm planning on doing two charts: one with pre-1960, current administrative and current municipal districts; and another with cadastral districts.

This article brings up a number of questions people may want to provide input on:

1. I have used the word "district" for "odbor," "část" and "území." Is there a better translation for any of those?
2. Should there be a link for every administrative, municipal and cadastral district?
3. Should the numbered districts be written as "Prague 3" or "Praha 3?" What about the outer districts -- "Prague-Satalice" or "Praha-Satalice?"
4. If we have articles for individual districts, should the title be "Satalice" or "Prague-Satalice" (or "Praha-Satalice")?

Input is appreciated. Mwalcoff 20:09, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Ad 1. I belive the original translation of "katastrální území" as "cadastral area" was better. Ad 4. - the title should be the most usual name. I'd guess the short form, without Prague-, is the most common.

While the improvement in the first part is great, I'm not so happy with the shift in the purpose of the list.

Originaly the list wasn't intended to be a list of cadastral areas, but general list of Prague territorial local names (as used in "common speach"). (which would include Pankrác, for example). Than, whether a name is also a name of cadastral would be indicated by the "Cad. ar?" column. I'd propose returning back to this idea.

Hmmm... I can see the value of including names of neighborhoods not classified as catastral areas, such as Zahradni Mesto and Jizni Mesto. However, I think including them in the same chart as the cadastral areas would be confusing. Why not have a separate chart for non-cadastral areas of particular note?

I think it would be more confusing the other way. The linked articles are not about cadastral areas, but about "general meaning" of the local name. IMO, from list of cadastral areas, it would be logical to link e.g. Zizkov (cadastral area), but we'll hardly have such articles in near future. Also, IMO, two lists are more than enough :-) --Wikimol 19:31, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Perhaps you don't know exactly what I mean. When I finish it, I'll put it up, and if you don't like it, we can work out something to our mutual satisfaction. Mwalcoff 28 June 2005 15:08 (UTC)

List of cadastral areas

OK, I've gone ahead and replaced the existing chart of cadastral areas with one that I think is more complete, easier to read and full of links (mostly red at the moment). If you have an objection, let's try to work something out. We still have the issue of well-known parts of the city that are not cadastral areas, such as Jizní Město and Zahradní Město. But none of those were in the previous chart, so I didn't let that hold me back from doing my edit. Mwalcoff 6 July 2005 01:04 (UTC)

name

I think the title should just be "Prague districts;" the "city" is superfluous. Please respond here if you object; otherwise, I'll go ahead and move the page.

My next plan is to start blueing the redlinks by creating articles on all the districts. Mwalcoff 04:21, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
