Talk:History of Bratislava
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Why don't you mention the Pressburger Zeitung (1764-1929). Some parts of the description of the 12th-13th century need some discussion, too (as Germans lived in Pressburg before the Mongol storm).
Copied from Jan Vlk Kempelen:
Do you have any documentary evidence that Wolfgang Kempelen, a Pressburg German, was an ethnic Slovak? Hej, why not make all the others--Hummel, Lenard, etc into Slovaks, too?
ad Pressburger Zeitung: The Pressburger Zeitung will be added (It was not mentioned because I did not consider them as important for the German world as the other two mentioned were for the Hungarian and Slovak world).
ad Kempelen: I do not quite understand the question. Maybe it should be adressed rather to the first author of the List of famous Slovaks page. -- Now, 10 minutes later I understand - there has been a technical mistake and I have omitted the name of the Slovak photographer Kozic in the Wikipedia version and used his description for Kempelen by mistake, I'm sorry - - Nevertheless, the answer is simple. Kempelen is largely considered a Slovak (e.g. in the official textbook of History for Slovak high schools) in Slovakia, a German in Austria (probably because of the name) and a Hungarian in Hungary (e.g. in one article of Wikipedia). Since he spoke German, Slovak, Hungarian, French, Italian, Latin and Romanian, we probably can expect other nations claiming that he is one of them. But since this is not the point in this article I will change it correspondingly.

A timeline ought not be an acceptable article. john 19:48, 8 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Better place to discuss whether timelines are an appropriate type of article is in talk page of Timeline (which containes a long list of timeline articles). Brona 21:39, 12 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Nothing wrong with timelines, per se. But this article should be at Timeline of Bratislava history or Timeline of the history of Bratislava. john 22:16, 12 Mar 2004 (UTC)
