[edit] Article Name

Shouldn't this article be named Burzenland? Aside from Romanian tourist sites and Wiki-mirrors, I have not seen "Ţara Bârsei" used in English, while "Burzenland" is the traditional term used in English history books referencing the Transylvanian Saxons and the Teutonic Knights.

  • Support. same reasons as above. Google gives twice as many english results for Burzenland. -- Chris 73 Talk 08:34, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Support. This sure ain't no Gdansk. / Peter Isotalo 14:18, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
Since there are 4 Votes for a move and no opposing comments, I just went ahead and moved the page. -- Chris 73 Talk 22:35, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Vulcan

I've changed the link towards the town of Vulcan because Vulcan, Romania is an article about a municipality in the Jiu Valley in the West of Transylvania in the Hunedoara County. Burzenland (or Tara Barsei) is an area mainly in the Braşov County in the East of Transylvania, and here Vulcan is only a village. Here are the two links on eah County's council about the two localities:
