Level of autonomy

This article really needs a definition to be stated on the page of what make the territorial autonomy high, medium or low level of autonomy. At the moment it looks like it could be very subjective. Davewild 10:01, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • It was partially subjective, I deleted the levels of autonomies

France

No part of France has autonomous status. It is a highly centralized Gaullist state. Everything is considered an integral part of the Republic. —Sesel 00:30, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • If we talk about overseas regions only Guadeloupe, Martininique, French Guina, Reunion are integral parts of France, but other territories have variuos legal status and different levels of autonomy:territorial collectivity, overseas collectivity, overseas departments and territories of France.
    • They don't have more autonomy because of their legal status; they have less. French Polynesia has the symbolic designation of pays d'outre-mer, and is closest to being autonomous, but is still legally an integral part of France. —Sesel 12:09, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

South Tyrol

In this article all territorial autonomies are given by their English name: South Tyrol is undoubtedly an English name (I don't understand why "Bolzano-Bozen (South Tyrol)" where Bolzano-Bozen is just South Tyrol's capital.) I can imagine the same ""compromise"" as found in all South Tyrol related pages has been used, but doing so why "Kosovo" is given by its Serbian name and its not written "Kosova" which is the name the Albanian Kosovars want English speakers use? Sorry, but it's the same. South Tyrol is the name the majority of English-speaking people I had the pleasure to meet know and use. So, its like "Kosovo", which is the most-used name in English. This page is about "territorial autonomies", so the name "South Tyrol" should be used at least here (please see the European Academy in Bolzano/Bozen web site, which is an international recognised research institute for federalism and autonomies...they use "South Tyrol").

  • In this article I used the name "South Tyrol" till June 30. On that day user 71.109.... changed it into Bolzano-Bozen. Also the same user edited the main article on "South Tyrol" and changed the name accordingly, His main explanation for this change was that in geography the offical name used is Bolzano-Bozen and South Tyrol is used in the internet only.If you have serious arguments you are free to edit the name to leave South Tyrol only.
