Talk:Demographics of the Kingdom of Hungary
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Help me to improve the article, please do not delete it. Thanks. --Öcsi 14:13, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
- Hello. I'm happy to help, but right now it's not even clear this is an encyclopedia article at all. It has no text at all. It's a half-complete demographics table. What is this article supposed to be about? Right now, it fails the no original research and the verifiablility rule - it has no sources. Please see also the rules on what Wikipedia is not (i.e., not a collection of indiscriminate information), and maybe Wikipedia:Guide to writing better articles will also help. Please read (or at least skim) these pages, then feel free to ask me on this page if you have any questions - then do go ahead with writing an article on this topic.

Yes I have a question: I try to put the demographic in the first paragraph, but it doesn't work. Could you help me? --Öcsi 18:38, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
- OK, this starts looking better. But I don't understand what the problem is with "the demographic". You can use German if you want to. Also, you should cite your source in English, not in Hungarian, and preferably in full (publisher, year etc.). Sandstein 19:14, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
1) I want to move the table into the first paragraph, but it doesn't work. (Ich will die ganze Tabelle über die Demographie der Komitate in den ersten Absatz verschieben, aber irgendwie geht es nicht, jetzt ist ja die Tabelle unter dem Absatz Kategorien, wo es ja falsch ist, ich möchte es von dort weghaben). Danke.
2) The name of the books are Révai Nagy Lexikóna (actually it's a book-row), or the older version Pallas Nagy Lexikóna, it has no english name (or what do you mean?).
3) I will give the full source, but at the moment I haven't got the books here, because I am not at home.
Cheers (or MfG) --Öcsi 09:10, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
- Here I am (I do have a day job, you know...). Sorry, but the table issue confuses me too. It's probably something with the table template. My advice for you is to ask for help on the Wikipedia:Help desk. The people there will probably know.
- As to the lexicon, what I mean is that you should cite it in a way that allows people to find it in a library. It's highly recommended that you use {{cite book}} for this, like that:
- (1950) Révai Nagy Lexikóna. John Doe. ISBN 0-7869-1850-8.
- See Template:Cite book for more info.
- Finally, if you do not feel like finishing the article now, it's advisable to work on it in user space. You can copy the article content to User:Öcsi/Demographics of the Kingdom of Hungary to work on it there until it's finished, and replace the content in Demographics of the Kingdom of Hungary with {{db-author}} to get it deleted for now. Otherwise, someone will certainly ask for it to be deleted at some point because it's not an encyclopedia article right now. Sandstein 18:30, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
I know how to cite a book... but as I said above, I haven't got the book here, it's at home (I am going to be at home this weekend). OK, I gonna move the article to User:Öcsi/Demographics of the Kingdom of Hungary. --Öcsi 13:05, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Table
Table is not good. It should not be only for selected ethnic groups. There should be also place for smaller ethnic groups like Bunjevci and Šokci and also for data that count Bunjevci and Šokci together with Serbs. PANONIAN (talk) 14:47, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
OK, I delete it. PS: You don't really believe in that slovakian border-thing, my dear fellow? --Öcsi 17:47, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
