Great Moravia

I have finally looked at the Nitra issue. Of course, you are right: the documents only mention the bishopric of Nitra, the "physical" seat of the archbishopric, at least in 880, was the town of Morava (i.e. probably Mikulčice). This is a nice example of the damage that a nationalist vandal (Knieza, because that has been his addition) can cause to the wikipedia - he constantly repeated "Nitra-Nitra...", and I have unwillingly "adopted" his wrong statement into my brain.

L of S

Finaly someone removed all those nonsense long desriptions. Good job. Thanks. (Although Andy Warhol still remained :) ) Jurohi 21:06, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi there! Sorry for taking a while to answer. I haven't check SK stuff for a while, so it took me a bit to get back :) I understand very well your feelings when having to deal with these 'authors'. Tipicaly they are people unable to write an article, so they realize themselves this way. I also lost several hours trying to reason with such folks, but it is realy tiring and frustrating to spent more time arguing than writting something usefull. (You could check the last 2: Dezo Hoffmann +talk and my talk page, just above your lines...) Anyway, this IP guy is not worse our time. He clearly presented his level of education, especialy with the last frases about bryndza. The one refering to Bratislava as Poszony in 2006, does not deserve any serious consideration. I didn't comment on LoS talk page, since I wanted to avoid starting|continuing that useless discussion. However I will watch more carefuly and you will have all my support if needed. I admire your patience and calm, that alowed you to maintain such a polite style :) Good luck. Jurohi 04:32, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi body. Don't worry, I am checking quite often and I will. I have seen funny arpad's menace. The guy did 3 edits... Pretty arrogant. I already wrote you my opinion regarding 81.ip. Trying to reason with this people is just a waste of time. Just rv. Cya Jurohi 13:46, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Hradisko

I have noticed that you translate "hradisko" with "hill fort" (e.g. in the Great Moravia article). That is a wrong translation, because a "hillfort" is at best a subtype of a hradisko. The word is difficult to translate, but the best translation is "fortified settlement" or "castle mound", but the former is better. Juro 23:17, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

The word "hill fort" is used in English summaries of several Slovak books and articles about Great Moravia (for example in Štefanovičová, Tatiana (1989). Osudy starých Slovanov, Bratislava: Osveta.). Although the hill fort is a subtype of "hradisko", as you pointed out, most hradiska can be described as medieval hill forts because of their dimensions, purpose, and architecture. Sometimes, Slavic hradiska even incorporated fortifications of older prehistoric hill forts (e.g. in Devin Castle). Unfortunately, there is no article about hradisko and the expression "fortified settlement" is too general and vague. Therefore I use the word hill fort as the closest substitute for hradisko whenever the actual hradisko was a hill fort. Of course, few settlements (e.g. Mikulcice) cannot be described as hill forts and I tried to avoid the use of this expression in such cases. Tankred 23:38, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Slovakia tourism

Thanks for your great editions to the article Tourism in Slovakia. As you might have noticed, another user has caused some revert and edit wars; examination into the user's background shows plenty of cases of article ownership behavior and slight incivility towards other users. All that aside, please visit the talk page and comment on the merits of keeping the film Hostel mentioned in the article. At this point, we need other user's opinions so that the edit war does not resume when User:Juro returns (he was blocked last night for 3RR violation). Thank you! -Husnock 14:39, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Municipalities in Slovakia

Hi mate. No seriously I cannot complete the entire Slovakia project in one go!!!!!! What I have done is first set up the regional categories. Then I have started to go through creating the district categories within each region. These will all be neatly set up. Both categories are needed so readers can look at the villages in each district but also see the entire list on the page for each district. This is a long long long task so please have patience. No one else is bothering to help me yet an entire country is practically missing. I will not contradict myself. I will be consistent but probably no one will ever thank me for my efforts!!

Hi actually it won't take that long to start stubs. If you look at what I've done so far you will see I am doing a valuable job. But almost an entire country is missing from the project which I am amazed that nobody else is willing to help, even a little. Perhaps I will start to win more respect from other wikipedians.

CheckUser

Could you PLEASE formulate the request there (tell me when), and add the following users (basically those I remember and currently from the Magyarisation article): User:Erdelyiek, User:Bendeguz, User:Vay, User:Alphysikist, User:Al345 , 195.56.21.118; 195.56.248.241 , 195.56.240.67, 195.56.236.67 (the last 3 from the M. Hell article), 195.56.16.245, User:Khoikhoi, User:Kelenbp, User:Adam78, User:Fz22, User:Zello (the last two are not so urgent). I am quite sure most of these are the same person....Ah, and you should also ask User:PANONIAN for support. Juro 22:09, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Answer

About your question: well, I never asked for CheckUser before, but I think you could ask for it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/Help:CheckUser I am well aware of this problem with Hungarian nationalists on Misplaced Pages (they recently started to "work" on Serbia-related articles too) and something certainly should be done about this. However, as I said, I never asked before for user checking. As I saw recently, this sockpuppet have more than one IP adress, thus I do not think that CheckUser service would be much helpfull. But it worth to try anyway. PANONIAN (talk) 23:52, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
