@ Transylvania1916

@Transylvania1916: Please don't restore this edit again. Gain consensus here first per WP:BRD. DeCausa (talk) 19:05, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

deep sigh Alright, although I am hugely skeptical this will go anywhere, I will give this a chance. Let's start with the basics: seeing that I did my due diligence and brought the required receipts for my edit, why on Earth do I need YOUR consensus?! Transylvania1916 (talk) 08:40, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
To avoid being blocked from this site. WP:ONUS, WP:CONSENSUS, WP:EW. Also read WP:NPA. Carry on calling another editor an insect as you did here will also get you blocked. DeCausa (talk) 09:02, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, uh-uh. Your petty formalities that I hold in contempt aside, what exactly is wrong with my edit/sources? Transylvania1916 (talk) 09:04, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's not an improvement. The infobox is already too overcrowded. It's "status" for just the last two year's of A-H's existence isn't worth adding. It's also not a clear-cut fact (which infoboxes are most suited to) it's a judgment. You've put forward no reason for its inclusion other than you want it. DeCausa (talk) 09:16, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"isn't worth adding" - Why do you get to decide this? Clearly, I think it IS worth adding.
"It's also not a clear-cut fact" - Do you have any idea how insulting and infuriating this is? There were countries that had the "satellite state" tag in their infoboxes for years, without any cited source following that. I cited a reputable source that not only explicitly calls AH a satellite, but also details why. To reject this, after other countries had this uncited tag for years, is to me the epitomy of double standards. Transylvania1916 (talk) 09:27, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Irrelevant to this article. See WP:OTHERCONTENT. The citation doesn't mean you get to add it - I've already linked to WP:ONUS. If you don't like Wikipedia's policies and how things work here you don't have to edit. DeCausa (talk) 09:35, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nah, I'll just stick to comparative data tables then. See, this is why I hate taking it to the talk page: people bombarding me with WPs instead of talking like normal humans. How does this even happen? This whole project started as an initiative of common folk, but it ended up with a bureaucracy just as stuffy and suffocating as that of an institution of people in suits. You are randos on the internet, stop taking yourselves so seriously. I'll see myself out of this thread now, but for the record I do want to add that I apologize for insulting you. I was in a bad head space but I shouldn't take that out on others. Transylvania1916 (talk) 09:48, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Apology accepted. I've added A-H's loss of autonomy to the relevant part of the article with the Bassett book as a source. DeCausa (talk) 10:25, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Heavy Hungaro-centricism

It seems that the whole article was mostly authored by some Hungarians (or friends of Hungary), because it presents extraordinary Hungaro-centricism. I could comment on almost every paragraph of the article, but what shocked me most was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austria-Hungary#Electrical_industry_and_electronics which doesn't even mention ČKD and Emil Kolben.

Unlikely, but if you think there is material mising on Cisleithania, WP:SOFIXIT. (I'm not sure why you would think mentions of those two is of significance). DeCausa (talk) 07:28, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 31 March 2023

Information on speakers from census incorrect. There would have been more Romanian speakers at around 30-35% at least in the time period discussed. Mainly due to the little discuses fact that Romanian spoke Hungarian to avoid prosecution 2A00:23C5:DF87:1801:8532:DC66:4AA1:F5CE (talk) 05:32, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I want the Flag Back!!!!! Kaiser Welt 1913 (talk) 14:17, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Cannolis (talk) 14:33, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 6 April 2023 (2)

change the infobox to show both flags like this IamTheRealStevenWalling (talk) 17:57, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done; please get consensus for this change first, as it is a contentious one. BilledMammal (talk) 18:01, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

RfC: Should the dual flags be displayed along with the civil ensign?

Should the dual flags displayed along with the civil ensign (such as in this revision: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=1062963982) with maybe a note alongside it linking to the Flags of Austria-Hungary page? Vamsi20 (talk) 21:44, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I've had this idea for about a month now, but that one video really sealed the deal for me to put this.
Vamsi20 (talk) 21:46, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No. The civil ensign does not appear in this article and was removed 2 years ago. This was resolved by an RfC back then. DeCausa (talk) 21:54, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment That RfC was no consensus, there was only a compromise.
Vamsi20 (talk) 22:09, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect Flag.

I know many people have attempted to change this... but why is the Austrian Empire flag used instead of the Austro-Hungarian Empire flag? 2001:48F8:4028:1C23:0:0:0:8900 (talk) 03:03, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

(For clarification, I am mainly talking about the WW1 war box.) 2001:48F8:4028:1C23:0:0:0:8900 (talk) 03:04, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
(Also, yes I am aware that Autria-Hungary had no official flag, but still the unofficial flag is better, in my opinon, makes it easier to determine whether it is the Austrian Empire, or Austria-Hungary. Granted I do understand if this change is not warranted.) 2001:48F8:4028:1C23:0:0:0:8900 (talk) 03:09, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Can we please not start this discussion again? 2001:48F8:4028:1C23:0:0:0:C1A8 (talk) 03:17, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
(Yes we are two users using the same account, I just want this discussion to be done.) 2001:48F8:4028:1C23:0:0:0:C1A8 (talk) 03:18, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Not account, IP address. Maybe you two live in the same city? 178.120.15.212 (talk) 07:14, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
