Notable citizens of Sibenik

Nazi Germany

The article should make clear if Sibenik was made part of those states (Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany,...) or was just occupied by them. --Error 23:52, 13 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed, thanks. --Joy [shallot]

Name in other languages

This is in response to this edit and the edit summary of "so? does that mean we still need to retain Austrian imperialism even today?". If the German name does not apply here because the city is no longer under Austrian rule, then why leave the Italian name there - Šibenik is clearly not Italian or under Italian rule. I think either both the German and Italian names should stay, or both should be removed, unless there are very good reasons for having one and not the other. —King Ivan 10:38, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for taking too long to respond, I did not check the talk page here for several weeks. The reason why so many Croatian towns have German (and Hungarian and Italian) names is because for many years they were under the Austro-Hungarian empire (and Venice). However, that was ages ago, and unless the occupation had very significant impact on the city (like Venetian on Sibenik), then I see no reason to include it in, it just clutters up the front page and frankly, isn't relevant anymore. I think the best way of dealing with this is having the most important name(s) being put right next to Sibenik in the opening sentence, while all others being put in the history section. ie: Sibenik (German: Sibenning) was mentioned for the first time.......etc. If we were to add every name of every empire that occupied Croatia, we would have German, Hungarian, Italian, Turkish, French, etc all lined up!--Jesuislafete 06:31, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
