[edit] Requested Move to Giovanni Dalmata

Ivan Duknović → Giovanni Dalmata — To reflect common English usage, as required by Wikipedia's naming conventions. Examples of usage can be found below, in the "Simple tests" and "Books" sub-sections.

Please, keep in mind that, per WP:NC, for the purposes of naming this article the names used for this artist by Latin, Italian, Croatian or Chinese-speaking individuals and authors (of the past, present and future) are irrelevant.

[edit] Name of Trogir

Quote; "Please, keep in mind that, per WP:NC, for the purposes of naming this article the names used for this artist by Latin, Italian, Croatian or Chinese-speaking individuals and authors (of the past, present and future) are irrelevant. Instead, we should consider only the names commonly used in English-language" Trogir is known in English language as Trogir, not Trau:) And that is also its historical name (on Croatian language). Ceha 18:26, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Traù was the official name of the city, until 1918, and as Traù is inserted in all the World Atlas before that year; it does not matter if English, Spanish, French or German atlas, you will always found "Traù". Historical names shall be reported in the correct way, you should never say that Constantine founded "Istanbul" (Constantinople) or that Kant was born in "Kaliningrad" (Koenisberg). Those are the wiki rules, if you like it or not. Greetings--Giovanni Giove 09:33, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Do you have any internet conformation of that?

Encyclopaedia britannica gives no sorce of that "No exact matches found for "Traù" Below are results 1 - 10 of 91 for similarly spelled words" On the other hand results for Trogir are " Britannica Concise

Trogir Britannica Concise Print Article :: Email Article :: Cite Article

Italian Trau,

port in Dalmatia in Croatia, sited on an island in the Adriatic Sea and connected by a bridge to the mainland and to the island of Ciovo. It was colonized as Tragurion by Syracusan Greeks c. 385 BC and became a part of the Eastern, or Byzantine, Empire in the 6th century AD. Croatians, Normans, Venetians, and Bosnians were among rulers of the region for the next 1,400 years, and Trogir became a part of the new Yugoslav state in 1920. Kamerlengo Castle and St. Mark's tower survive from the Venetian period. The Cathedral of St. Lawrence, Gothic in style with Renaissance additions, is regarded as among the most beautiful in Dalmatia. The town is the site of one of Croatia's major shipbuilding yards. Pop. (1981) 8,588."

No mention that city name was Trau. Just that that was its Italian name (probably the same is with other Dalmatian towns) Ceha 20:25, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Modern Britannica is meaningless for the present problem. Look here to read about 'Traù', or 'Spalato' or 'Giovanni Lucio'[1]. Anyway I'v the direct sources: I personaly old several world atlas and maps (German and others), printed before 1918. I've also several nauticals maps of the K.u.K Marine, with al the names of coastal localties wrotten in Italian, from "Fiume" until the "Bocche di Cattaro". ANd other. Do u need internet sources? No problem: just look for some old map (it's no so hard) and look at the names. Try to find an old mop with slavic names, if you can. I'm really surprise because it seems that this fact is new for you. Good luck for your search.--Giovanni Giove 20:39, 14 February 2007 (UTC)


http://www.1911encyclopedia.org/ is totally meaningless source. You can find no any city in Dalmatia with Croatian name. That says enough about neutrality and accuracy of their texts.

It writes nothing about Croatian component (majority!!) in any of the cities. Only about italophones. And about all these cities talks like cities in Austrian Empire. That would be the same nonsense like speaking about Xiang Gang like about brittish city in East Asia . And all these articles there write about Serbo-Croatian population of the cities.

And final:Duknović is Croatian name , not Italian. At least that is not problem to understand. --Anto 09:01, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Suggested change of first sentence

Giovanni Duknovich, called Giovanni Dalmata (also known as Giovanni di Trau and Ioannes Stephani Duknovich de Tragurio, in his birth Croatia known as Ivan Duknovic) was a Dalmatian sculptor who was mainly active in Rome, in Hungary and Dalmatia.

-There is no mention of Croatia, or Croatian (which he obviously was) in this page. Ceha 18:32, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
