hungarian name

The mountains are located only in Svk and Cz Rep.

Keep only Slovak and Czech name. like in German wikipedia or French wikipedia —Preceding unsigned comment added by Iaaasi (talk • contribs) 12:34, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Stop wikihoundig, Iaaasi! You may get yourself banned out of wikipedia for indefinite time for this.--Nmate (talk) 13:42, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

You did not answer to my question. Why is the Hungarian name rellevant?Iaaasi (talk) 13:46, 8 February 2010 (UTC))

Go elsewhere.--Nmate (talk) 13:48, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

As you can see here http://en.wikipedia.org/Hungarians_in_Slovakia, there isn't a Hungarian minority in the area where the White Carpathians are located. So the Hungarian name is not relevant.

I tend to agree with Iaaasi (talk · contribs), since the number of G-hits for Hungarian "Fehér-Kárpátok" is similar to Polish "Białe Karpaty" or Italian "Carpazi Bianchi". Should we include also the Italian and Polish version of the name? On the other hand, there could be some significant historical connection, given the relation between Slovakia and Hungary in the past. Could somebody offer a more constructive explanation than Nmate (talk · contribs), please? --Vejvančický (talk) 15:30, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Nmate (talk · contribs) must be a nostalgic of the defunct Hungarian Kingdom, which incorporated once Slovakia. But, after this reasoning, why shouldn't we include the German name too (it was a part of the Austrian empire too)? (Iaaasi (talk) 15:56, 8 February 2010 (UTC))

I would opt for including an historical name of the range (regardless of language) that can be supported by sources. The article is about the range, and its history is an important part of the encyclopedic knowledge about it.--Mike Cline (talk) 16:02, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Hung name Fekete Karpatok = a translataion of The Slovak one (Fekete = white). It is not a historical name , but a translation (Iaaasi (talk) 16:08, 8 February 2010 (UTC))

Move on already! There is an existing naming consensus (HU-SK naming_convention) that determines how to use those names. As to Yopie, he needs to consult a doctor, seriously.--Nmate (talk) 18:47, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

The naming convention for places in Slovakia

"After 1918: use the Slovak name. Use Hungarian (or other minority languages) at least once for places with significant Hungarian (or other minority) population"

As int can be see here http://en.wikipedia.org/Hungarians_in_Slovakia, there percentage of Hungarians in that area is <10%, so there is not "significant Hungarian (or other minority) population" (Iaaasi (talk))
