As a stamp collector in childhood, I recall the postage stamps of Fiume as a free state, with the lettering "Fiume". Is The Free State of Rijeka a post-facto partisan rewriting of history, or have I overlooked postage stamps or banknotes or official paper with such a title? --Wetman 02:58, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

Italian name is Fiume Crotian name is Rijeka. This has always been in last 1000 years. Greatest time of state short history true name has been Fiume, but only because state has been under Italian occupation. Italian has never spoken Rijeka, because slavic language has been not good enough for them. I think that Italian are having real language problem with saying words which has -ije-. My italian cousins because of that problem today ( and before ) call Rijeka Rika. rjecina

The both name were in use for the same city. During 19th century term - Fiume prevailed with italian laguage (dominant during that time) State was established in 1920. occupied (or annexed) in 1924. So, it was de facto (till 1922.-military coup by fascist) & de iure (till 1924. - annexy) independent, and internationally recognized, not occupied. So, English translation of Stato libero di Fiume could be equally Free State of Fiume or Free State of Rijeka. contra1 06:50, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

In theory perhaps, but in practice, nearly all English-language history books call it the "Free State of Fiume". In a Google Books search, "Free State of Fiume" has 232 hits, versus 7 for "Free State of Rijeka". So I'd say that's pretty clearly the established name for the state in English. --Delirium 09:15, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] anarchist fascist?

This odd claim needs some explanation/clarification, or at the very least a citation. There's no such doctrine as anarcho-fascism. Indeed, they're polar opposites in political philosophy, and I've never read of a synthesis. 130.88.65.190 (talk) 09:44, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Grbri130.gif

Image:Grbri130.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
