132:. As I write this, there seems to be a dispute involving Hungarian and Slovakian articles. The dispute is de-centralized, and is taking place in edit summaries, userpages, talkpages, and administrator noticeboards. The dispute seems to involve multiple editors, and some anonymous accounts. Since it is extremely difficult to follow everything that's going on on every page, I have created this central page, and recommend adding a pointer to this page from all the locations of disputes.
545:
administrators, that they liked what we've done here, and would like to try out some of the techniques in other areas of conflict on
Knowledge (XXG). So congratulations! :) I know that some of the things that we did here were not easy, but I really appreciate how much everyone was working hard to learn new ways to communicate and edit. I have especially been pleased when I saw people reaching out to former enemies, and be willing to forgive and move forward.

already for third party to help end this flame war, but the response haven´t arrived yet. Major concerns in article are primary in language law section. Especially about deleting or not deleting the memorial passage and than interpretation and forcing the point of view in article. If you could be take the position of third party in this case and resolve it, it would be great, I want to just stabilaze this article. --
549:
we're open to new suggestions as well. I am also open to any feedback that anyone has about how this
Experiment developed over the last month or two, and ways that we could have done things better. Or, if there was anything that you thought was particularly helpful, which we should be sure to teach to other folks who are trying to deal with complex disputes, please bring it up! Thanks, --

As the first step of formalizing this
Experiment into something that other people can study, I'd like to move this page to a new home, so it's no longer an "experiment". Any ideas on what a good name would be? Other projects have used things like "Cooperation board" or "Reconciliation project", but
527:
For places that changed name (e.g. Štúrovo was called Parkan before 1948): follow the rules above, but use the contemporary Slovak or
Hungarian name as the primary name, and also add the modern name as an alternative. Example: for a biography about a 19th century Slovak from Parkan/Párkány/Štúrovo,
580:
Nice suggestion. Or something like "Cooperation board Slovak-Hungarian topics". One of my concerns is that several editors dropped out of the discussion, the main reason seems to be frustration over misbehaviour of other (incl. anonymous) editors, it might be a good idea to ask them why they left.
736:
about the look of the page. My point of view can be seen on discussion page, Horbatimus probably as well but it´s going nowhere and I really don´t have neither patiente or time to watch over every edit of
Horbatimus, and I guess he either don´t have mood for protecting it before my edits. I asked
629:
My guess is that the editors who "left" have gone on to other hobbies. It is fairly typicaly that people in online communities participate for a period of time (usually 6-18 months), and then they move on. But as older voices leave, newer voices arrive. It's a constant flow. :) So, for a new
523:
After 1918: use the Slovak name. Use
Hungarian (or other minority languages) at least once for places with significant Hungarian (or other minority) population, either in the form "Eperjes (Prešov)" and later "Eperjes" exclusively, or in the form "Prešov (Eperjes)" and later "Prešov" exclusively.
705:
Dear Elonka, I think you have been in an extremly sensitive position, because as we have experienced, even the existence of certain former states may be a crucial issue in our region. I think you assisted us to understand that the history of our region can be interpreted in several ways, and
544:
Okay, this "Experiment" has been going really well, and I am very proud of all that we have accomplished. :) I have seen many people learn new ways of dealing with disputes, and some really good articles are developing. I've also been getting positive feedback from other
Knowledge (XXG)
517:
In other cases the order of the names, and which name is used in the rest of the article is arbitrary. If a dispute arises, the name most used in the given context in reliable sources (see WP:NCGN) should be used first, and the other name(s) should be listed in parentheses at the first
682:
Hi all. :) A question has come up about some of my methods on managing articles, and whether or not I am using good judgment as an administrator. I therefore invite anyone within reach of this page who has an opinion on the matter (good or bad) to participate in the discussion:
614:
I left because I am interested in serious editing, that is addition of new and sourced facts and correction of any inaccuracies. I am not interested in petty arguments about editors' personal goals and interests that don't seem to have much with what
Knowledge (XXG) should
706:
interpretations that differ from the ones we have learnt may be valid, as well. My feeling is that there are several editors on both sides who cannot accept this diversity of views, but I hope that step by step a kind of consesus would develop among us.
398:
152:
It is my hope that with a centralized point of discussion, that we'll be able to reduce the confusion, and those editors who are genuinely interested in having civil discussions towards determining consensus, will be able to do so.
564:
Selling the format, huh? :) I think this page should stay as a common notice and talkboard for this topic, and should be renamed to reflect that. My suggestion would be "Slovak-Hungarian common talkboard" or something similar.
437:
495:. Given the long shared history of Slovakia and Hungary, it is desirable to mention both the Slovak and the Hungarian name in several cases. This depends on the (historical) context in which it is used:
