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)
- I see your point, but on the other hand this is an article about Austria-Hungary. 165.234.101.99 (talk) 14:46, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
- In the Czech Republic, the glass, sugar, wood, toy, furniture and raw materials industries have developed as iron and steel industries. The Czech mechanical engineering industry was smaller than the Hungarian industry in electronics and electrical machinery. Don't forget that to develop mechanical and electrical engineering requires more innovation and engineering knowledge, it is the fastest growing changing sector and men are more interested in it, you can see how many magazines there are that deal with machinery or electronics. On the other hand, Hungary had engineering universities (not apprenticeships!!) in the 18th century, which is reflected in the number of Nobel prizes in science and the number of famous international mathematics prizes, which is very high if you compare it with the Nobel prizes and mathematics prizes of any former communist country. Hungary owes all these successes to the quality of education in the Monarchy and in the interwar period. Pharaph (talk) 15:37, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
- So the machinery building industry, the electric and electronics industries were more developed in Hungary than in Bohemia, both in the number and size of such factories and companies. Pharaph (talk) 15:40, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
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)
- 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)
- 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)
- Comment That RfC was no consensus, there was only a compromise.
- Vamsi20 (talk) 22:09, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
- Yeah and that compromise has become WP:CONSENSUS because it has lasted for 2 years. Raising it again is disruptive and can be considered WP:TENDENTIOUS.DeCausa (talk) 22:15, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
- Oh alright, I didn't know. Vamsi20 (talk) 22:15, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

- No Given what DeCausa said I agree with not adding the flag Chefs-kiss (talk) 06:56, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
- No flag is better. A entire generation has already been deceived! They think the Civil Ensign was the National Flag! Dumalinas (talk) 01:05, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
- I know i am a bit late but i think if there is going to be flags it should just be the Habsburg Monarchy and Kingdom of Hungary flags.
Edit: like on the Simple English Wikipedia Von bismarck (talk) 13:47, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
- If we add the flags of the Kigdom of Hungary and Cisleithania we should also add the flag of the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia as the Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen did not have one flag but two. Ajhuheu (talk) 17:49, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
- Make it simple. No flag. Keep it the way it is! Sheanobeano (talk) 23:40, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
- I agree with sheanobeano here. just put the coat of arms and the link under it. There have been years of discussion about these flags. Crenshire (talk) 14:25, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

Make Austria-Hungary article split into seperate articles
I think the Austria-Hungary article should be split into the main Austria-Hungary article, an article about the ethnic relations of Austria-Hungary, an high detailed article about Austria-Hungary's industries, an article about its belligerence in World War I, an article about Austria-Hungary's inland waterways and regulation, and a article about Hungary's role — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.167.21.233 (talk) 22:37, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
- This is an encyclopedia, not a scavenger hunt. Also that is not very practical for users just trying to read about Austria-Hungary. 165.234.101.96 (talk) 17:27, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
- Well then what about users that can’t load all of the article about Austria-Hungary because they have a slower internet connection? 2603:80A0:1700:3DDE:2912:AF3:4883:EAB1 (talk) 22:41, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
- 2603… and 165… are the same user 2603:80A0:1700:3DDE:2912:AF3:4883:EAB1 (talk) 22:42, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
- what do you mean by this? Chefs-kiss (talk) 06:58, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
- 2603… and 165… are the same user 2603:80A0:1700:3DDE:2912:AF3:4883:EAB1 (talk) 22:42, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

- No. This is not a treasure hunt. You also did not reason why exactly you think they are apt for splitting. WP: SPLIT Chefs-kiss (talk) 06:55, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
- Well, the readable prose size is 123kb, which is too big per WP:SPLIT. There already exists some subsidiary articles and I don't neceesarily think the ones identified by the IP are the right ones. But WP:SUMMARYSTYLE is what we should be following and I don't think this article does it particularly well. DeCausa (talk) 07:09, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
- Politics appears to be a bit of a monster based on the overall section sizes count in the talk header, as well as based on the overall level of complexity of the section in terms of the number of subsections contained within it. Iskandar323 (talk) 07:12, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
- "Politics of Austria-Hungary" seems like a viable split. Oddly, there's no history section. Iskandar323 (talk) 07:15, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
- It looks like some of the history is bound up in the politics section, some in the 'belligerence' section, and some in the 'demise' section. Overall, the page structure is a bit convoluted and not very easily navigable. Iskandar323 (talk) 07:18, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
- "Politics of Austria-Hungary" seems like a viable split. Oddly, there's no history section. Iskandar323 (talk) 07:15, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
- I agree that politics might need seperation but i am super against the proposed ones. History section also seems fine. Chefs-kiss (talk) 12:00, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
- There ain’t no way I’m allowing this article to split the same way the Empire did. Keep the article the way it is. 165.234.101.97 (talk) 20:14, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
- I disagree with that idea, because what about people with 2 bars and people with slow wi-fi? 2600:1014:B1EF:61DC:3DCD:6638:C9DB:2490 (talk) 21:03, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
- It's not necessarily about splitting in the sense of removing everything from here. It is the idea of creating child articles that can take some of the strain away this article, which is currently being stretched to contain as many little factoid in one place and in doing so, generating a vastly overlength, unconcise body of material that needs rationalizing. Iskandar323 (talk) 06:14, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
- Agreed but to where is the question. Economu during WW1 seems fine and Austria-Hungary during ww1 as well but the proposed categories by the poster are not suitable. Chefs-kiss (talk) 09:01, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
- There ain’t no way I’m allowing this article to split the same way the Empire did. Keep the article the way it is. 165.234.101.97 (talk) 20:14, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

- The size of the article about Austria-Hungary is too big 2600:1014:B1EF:61DC:3DCD:6638:C9DB:2490 (talk) 21:02, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
- I agree that the article is too big. This is partially my fault because I took all the material from the de.wiki article and just plonked it in as best I could. It should be split and this article reduced to summary style.
- Politics of Austria-Hungary is certainly viable. Austria-Hungary during World War I is another (this article goes into far too much detail and A-H is the only major belligerant not to have an ... in World War I article). Economy of Austria-Hungary is currently shorter than the section of the article here. "Formation", "Foreign affairs", a reduced WWI section, and "dissolution" could then be brought together to produce a good History section. The infrastructure section can't really be reduced by very much.
- There essentially is an article on Hungary's role, as requested by the initial poster, in Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen. Furius (talk) 07:16, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
- I Shall stand my ground in claiming this article shall not be split up. 165.234.101.97 (talk) 16:36, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
- Please explain why you think that the guidelines at WP:SPLIT and WP:SUMMARY STYLE should not apply. Furius (talk) 17:34, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
- I OPPOSE a split. Few people know much about AH and this is a good overall summary. People only interested in specific subtopics can easily and quickly read about it here--but they might easily miss a separate article with a title that is unfamiliar to them. The suggestions at SPLIT are not fixed policy, but just suggestions by editors who seem unaware of the need for narrative coherence in historical writing. Will anyone benefit by a split?? I think few will. Will anyone suffer--yes lots of people who lack an overall sense of what AH was all about. Rjensen (talk) 19:18, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
- I agree, Austria-Hungary should not have its article split, as it would be a nightmare for people just trying to learn about the empire.
- (Also I don’t see any other historical articles being split up.) 165.234.101.97 (talk) 20:10, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
- Well then, maybe you could put all of the new articles inside the related articles section 2600:1014:B1EF:61DC:159F:A3D4:F175:4C6C (talk) 20:36, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
- Nonsense. The sections would still appear here in summary style, so readers would get a clearer overall summary, with guidance to pages on specific subtopics that they might be interested in. The links to the sub-articles would appear (as normal) directly below each heading. This is totally normal. Compare, for example the article on France - you get a clear overview from that, and it guides you very easily to more detailed articles like History of France and Politics of France. Other historical articles that have been split and summarised in this manner include Ottoman Empire, Roman Empire, and Kingdom of Scotland. Furius (talk) 01:25, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, these types of objection show a fundamental lack of understanding about how the wiki format is supposed to work. This is not a plaform for essays; it is a platform for discrete interlinked subject summaries. Iskandar323 (talk) 05:59, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
- I
secondthird that as both nonsense and a fundamental lack of understanding of our format. WP:SUMMARYSTYLE. DeCausa (talk) 09:14, 15 April 2023 (UTC)- Pls split it it is too big 2603:80A0:1700:3DDE:F982:4F1A:644D:9A6B (talk) 03:00, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
- Claiming this article is too big may be fair, but in my opinion we should not split this article into bite sized chunks. In my opinion doing this would only make it harder to navigate, further more Austria-Hungary specifically has always been an historically entity that takes quite a while of reading to understand. Splitting the article up would make it far harder for newer users to learn about the Empire. 165.234.101.97 (talk) 14:52, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

- Wait why are you splitting this article rather than an other equally large article like the United States? 165.234.101.97 (talk) 19:25, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
- Please read WP:WAX; this is one of the lowest forms of argument on Wikipedia, but to answer you, the US has 87kB readable prose, here it's 119kB. Iskandar323 (talk) 19:55, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

- Why? Imagine if we would split the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth article into two separate ones (LOL). 188.146.112.60 (talk) 21:14, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

Lists of Ministeries
@Furius: If you're going to keep this stuff, please could you merge/link the other duplicated list and find some sourcing for the wholly unsourced one, so that the tag can at least be taken down. On a side note, going through this only compounds the sense that some of this political material could definitely do with being spun off. This government is dry and technical almost to the point of WP:JARGON, and not useful for the average casual reader. Government of Austria-Hungary now seems like a useful split that would also stop short of removing all politics. Iskandar323 (talk) 05:05, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
- OK, I've spun that off. I'd recommend keeping some material - what's dry and technical for one reader is fascinating for another, after all, but please cut away! I'd like to spin off the World War I section as well, but am not sure whether there is consensus for that. Furius (talk) 21:23, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
Split, April 2023 discussion
This page should be split into two or more different sections. It has more than 100 kilos and is so hard to read. Consider splitting sections like the article Flags of Austria-Hungary. Memer15151 (talk) 22:47, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
- I've fixed/renamed the heading and put {{Split}} at the top of the article —GoldRingChip 01:16, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
- I disagree, but some serious work does need to be done to fix and reduce some of the unreadable paragraphs here. There are many sections that are either unnecessary or can be significantly reduced. That should solve the problems of length and hard readability. —GoldRingChip 01:19, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
- Agreed. I think there is little or no material on the page that shouldn't appear somewhere on wiki, but it shouldn't all be here.
- I've already split the government section, so that can now be reduced.
- I want to do the same from the WWI section and have said so a few times now, but it's been unclear whether I have consensus for that. Furius (talk) 06:35, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
- The history section as a whole is 41 kB of prose long, ie. itself a full-length article, and over 1/3 of this article. Forking that off would quickly and easily go a long way to fixing this issue. CMD (talk) 07:57, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
- I have moved a very long paragraph to Bosnian_Crisis#Buchlau_Bargain as a start. The moved material ought to be edited and better integrated there. Jim.henderson (talk) 17:45, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
- But it's extremely uneven - the WWI material (4 years). is substantially longer than the whole rest of the history section (47 years) Furius (talk) 18:11, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
- How do you want this done then? 165.234.101.99 (talk) 19:05, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
- I would split off Austria-Hungary during World War I as a separate article and then reduce the material on WWI on this page to the length of the "formation" sub-section. I would cut down "dissolution" (which is already a separate article) to about the length of the "beyond Kleindeutschland" section. Along with reductions, to the "government" section, that alone might be enough to get the article down to a manageable size.
- The tables in "language" and "religion" sections could also be reduced / removed; Furius (talk) 00:01, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
- Tables don't contribute to the readable prose size, so don't cut those for that. Iskandar323 (talk) 06:28, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
- The education section is also grossly bereft of in-line citation and could be cut. Iskandar323 (talk) 06:32, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
- While tables don't count towards prose size, I would agree that they are currently excessive. Re history, the proposed mini-splitting seems like a sensible article topic, it doesn't compress enough by itself. Given how Austro-Hungarian history takes up whole books, it'd be quite sensible to have a dedicated history article. (Not the same scope exactly, but History of Austria is another article that is desperately in need of splitting, so this subarticle would have multiple beneficiaries.) CMD (talk) 06:38, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

- While tables don't count towards prose size, I would agree that they are currently excessive. Re history, the proposed mini-splitting seems like a sensible article topic, it doesn't compress enough by itself. Given how Austro-Hungarian history takes up whole books, it'd be quite sensible to have a dedicated history article. (Not the same scope exactly, but History of Austria is another article that is desperately in need of splitting, so this subarticle would have multiple beneficiaries.)

- Definitely split off the WWI article. We have articles about its various subtopics but no general one about AH's part 8n the war. Jim.henderson (talk) 19:30, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
- Jim, where can I give you thumbs up? :) I agree, a separate article needed for wartime Austria-Hungary. Many important basic info is missing from this article, due to the extra long wartime section. Pharaph (talk) 20:14, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
- I've done the split - you can see it now at History of Austria-Hungary during World War I - but I haven't had time to cut the section down here. Furius (talk) 21:11, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
- I think this page needs to be modeled again, maybe in the style of the German Empire article. I think splitting it in two is not a good idea. Ruttoperuna (talk) 17:13, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
- We're not splitting it in two. We're creating more detailed sub-articles and shortening the article here to WP:SUMMARYSTYLE. Furius (talk) 21:58, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

Austria-Hungary does not have a common flag, since it was not one country. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austro-Hungarian_Compromise_of_1867#Terms

In the "succeeded by" menu the link under Hungary leads you to the kingdom of hungary but there were two republics before that so I would like to make the request to change the link to the first Hungarian republic. Attila-Balázs (talk) 18:06, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
- On the contrariety, by that definition the Hungarian Soviet Republic would be have to be displayed. 2001:48F8:4028:1C23:0:0:0:8900 (talk) 00:56, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
After the WW1, Kingdom of Hungary was followed by the First Hungarian Republic, which was liberal and capitalist.--Pharaph (talk) 13:18, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
Russia didn't have longer railway network than A-H Empire in Europe before WW1
Russian Empire was a transcontinental country, 40% of its railway network did not located in Europe before WW1, but in its Asian parts. --Pharaph (talk) 20:36, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
- Wrong. According to this source, https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Page:Statesman%27s_Year-Book_1921.djvu/1289 only 23% of its railway network was not located in Europe in 1913, and the length of route in Europe alone was 35,987 miles, longer than the 43,280 kilometres (26,890 miles), given for Austria-Hungary in The Cambridge Economic History of Modern Europe: Volume 2. The Proffesor (talk) 22:50, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
Wrong. On the eve of World War I, imperial Russia had a rail network extending 58,500 kilometers. (The total length) In 1913 it carried 132.4 million tons of freight over an average distance of 496 kilometers, and 184.8 million passengers boarded its trains. https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/railroad-1.htm It was shorter than the railways of the German Empire.
An other source, Russia had the most backward railway system. Read this article too: https://encyclopedia.1914-1918-online.net/article/railways_russian_empire --Pharaph (talk) 05:18, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
European parts of the Russian Empire had no longer railways than the A-H railway network.
Russia is a transcontinental country. We can say that European parts of Russia had bigger population and territory than Germany or A-H Epmire, but it is not true that its European parts had longer railways than A-H railway network, and considering all of Russian (even clearly Asian networks) automatically as "European" network raises semantic and interpretation problems in the article.--Pharaph (talk) 14:13, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
Moreobver your source is wrong. IT states Russia has 46,573 miles of railways (74 951.9781 kilometers). However it is not true, because they count even forest industrial miner narrow gauge railways, which is different than Russian standard gauge. In the case of Austria-Hungary we count only the international standard gauge railways, so the typical narrow gauge industrial/mine/forest railways are not counted.--Pharaph (talk) 16:44, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
