== A better map? == |
|
] the ] of Slovenia is really very much primitive and I am afraid that such map won't tell to occasional reader a lot. There are "only" ten "main" ] on it, no ], no ], no ], no ] and such. But I guess it would be just enough to put Slovenia on a ] map somewhere southern of, let us say, ]. What about the famous Kozler's map of Slovene ] at the fall of ]. It would certalnly clearly show how ] are disappearing from a ]. And in the end its borders are just old ] bolders from the former ] and the history still has to do a lot of things to define (once and for all) its present, past or future borders.

The clearest maps in thus article are one from the grim years of WWII and another of the climate zones with temperature charts included. The map of statistical regions is good but by design it lacks city names. I think it would improve the article to have a map showing major cities (especially Ljubljana) and showing enough of the neighboring nations to place it in Europe. I have seen such a map in the past, but cannot find it online now. |

==Slovene National Motto== |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The map in the info box serves mainly to show it is a small nation. Reading that map, it pays to know that already, to find the dark green bit that is Slovenia. |

I think you are right about the motto Zocky. "Zive naj vsi narodi" means " God's blessing on all nations" and is the first line of the National Anthem not a motto. ] 14:36 Jan 22, 2003 (UTC) |

: Yes. See ] for translation and related links. But since we're speaking about Slovene national motto and as ] said that Slovenia does not have any -- we can invent it hereby. Recently I've seen for a good one from the video of a song ''Od ljudi za ljudi'' (''From people for people'') of ] and goes like this: ''Solidarity is mega (--is cool)''. How does one motto come into one nation's reality in fact? I do not know. Someone said that ] are like ]s. It could be Adi Smolar's ]-like words from his song: ''Je treba delat''. (''The Work is a Must''). Any positive and truthful thought might work here, I guess. There might also be Prešeren's words from Zdravljica: ''žive naj vsi narodi'' all the same, since this great poem was in the same manner invented for the National anthem. I would like to hear some other proposals. And we have to have in mind that Slovenes are not like far Eastern thinkers, ]s, ]es and ]es. Simple peasant ] is 'the coolest' for them, ha, ha. Interesting topic, anyway. See ya. --] 03:24 Jan 24, 2003 (UTC) |

The city of Štore now links to absurd ]. Probably it should be redirected as <nowiki>]</nowiki> or <nowiki>]</nowiki>. Why ] wasn't Slovene or whoever invented the ] code? :-) ''Lep pozdrav.'' --] 16:03 May 7, 2003 (UTC) |

==November 1st== |

Shouldn't "Dan spomina na mrtve" be translated as "Remembrance Day", not "All Soul's Day", which (a) is something else and (b) takes place on November 2nd? |

I agree. November 1st is actually All Saint's day (not All Souls' Day) and what's more, it's not even called that officially. I also think that the list should distinguish state holidays from work-free days (christmas, easter, assumption), since they're not the same thing - national flag is flown on the 26th of December and, according to law, should NOT be flown on the 25th. |

==European Union and Slovenia== |

While Slovenia and other countries are going to join the ] on 1st May 2004, we are formally not there yet! So we should remove the page footer that lists candidates among EU members. --] 19:35, 3 Nov 2003 (UTC) |

: Yes, Roman you're absolutely correct - but fairly speaking this is just ''a matter of time''. Accepting your proposal I've added EU enlargement instead of deleting the existing form, which is my invention. (Just think on that Montenegrin joke about a hydroelectric power station ... :>) We Europeans still need to learn a lot of European geography... I hope this is okay now.

==Initial classification== |

It is somewhat amusing to see ''littoral'' being mentioned before ''pre-Alpine'' in the country's description... alphabetical sorting of adjectives, I guess? ;) --] 12:53, 18 Apr 2004 (UTC) |

I removed the box and added a text about the membership. It seems rather remote and not of to much importance for the understanding of Slovenia, rather would I return the ex-YU box, but that's still in discussion so let's leave it this way for now. ] 17:18, 20 May 2004 (UTC) |
