[edit] The naming of the article
Why was this article moved to "Šamac"? It should be named "Bosanski Šamac", and the article "Šamac" should be a disambiguation page, as there are two places with the name: Bosanski Šamac and Slavonski Šamac. 220.245.178.137 08:15, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
According to the government web site of Republika Srpska, the current official name of the town is Šamac, as you can see here:
I just created a disambiguation Šamac page: Šamac (disambiguation). Is this ok? PANONIAN (talk) 12:17, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
My opinion varies depending on the answer to the question: is "Slavonski Samac" the official name of the town in Croatia, or is it officially known as Samac (I would be very grateful if you could find this information, as I'm just a little lazy :) )? If "Samac" is the official name, then "Samac" should be a disambiguation page, "Samac (disambiguation)" shouldn't exist, and the article titles should be "Samac (Bosnia)" and "Samac (Croatia)"; otherwise things should stay the way they are, with maybe a slight adjustment to the message on the top of the articles, in order to be more consistent with the rest of Wikipedia (I haven't checked, but I imagine that similar situations as this have a different message from "see also:", but maybe not - I just love to speculate). 220.245.178.136 16:45, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
- I'm pretty sure it's "Slavonski Šamac" (but I'm lazy to check as well :-) ) Duja 14:37, 2 December 2005 (UTC).
The official name of the town in Croatia is "Slavonski Šamac". The former official name of the town in Bosnia was "Bosanski Šamac", but it is officially changed into "Šamac". PANONIAN (talk) 17:06, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
