[edit] Joe Eszterhas
What about the Hollywood scriptmaker Joe Eszterhas of Basic Instinct fame?
[edit] Fertőd
It might be interesting that Eszterháza is now called Fertőd (NW-Hungary), renamed by the Communists in the 50s.
[edit] Query concerning abolition of noble titles
Hello 138.251.234.149,
Before taking this dispute further, I'd like to get clarification on the purpose of your edits. Is it your judgment that noble titles were not abolished in Hungary in 1945? If so, please cite a legitimate scholarly source for this, and I will leave your edit untouched. However, if you are simply expressing your own personal objection to the abolition of noble titles (perhaps you are an unhappy Esterhazy descendent?), then I will have to call in help from other editors to get this situation under control. We are an encyclopedia, and our job is to present the facts, irrespective of what we think about them.
Sincerely,

[edit] Liszt
I wasn't sure if this was worth mentioning in the article and if so how to work it in. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 07:21, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Adding a link in Hungarian
Hello,
This concerns the controversy/edit war seen on this Talk page above, concerning whether the Hungarian government ever passed a law abolishing noble titles. During this edit war, I was frustrated by the fact that I couldn't find any reference source on this point. User:Aetil has succeeded in finding a reference to the actual Hungarian law, and I have added a link to this reference (along with a correction of the date, to 1947). I realize that this reference is in Hungarian, and will be unintelligible to many readers (myself included). However, since the point at hand led to controversy, I think it would be much better to have a Hungarian-language reference than no reference at all; and the text of the law itself is after all a pretty good thing to have, even if only some readers can understand it. For reassurance that the Hungarian page really is what I'm saying it is, please see Aetil's entry on my own talk page, User talk:Opus33. Thanks for listening, Opus33 15:38, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
