Language of the article

[edit]

The state of English in this article is frequently poor. I see the article contains no facility to edit, which I would gladly do but cannot, therefore I would recommend that an educated, fluent native speaker of standard English checks the article thoroughly and makes the required amendments. One silly example 'The population was composed by about 2500 people ...' What on earth is 'was composed by'? The author means, of course, 'was composed of' or 'comprised'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.32.10.233 (talk) 22:05, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The current way the flag of Austria-Hungary is shown, as of 26/5/2024

[edit]

While I appreciate the dedication to accuracy (and covering all of your bases,) whoever made the edit included the "military standard" of Austria-Hungary, unless I am mistaken, when they intended to include the flag of the Emperor and Empress. Furthermore, I don't believe showing the flag of the Emperor and Empress, or a military standard if that's what they wanted to do, is needed at all. The way I personally would represent Austria-Hungary in flags accurately would be to show the black and yellow Habsburg banner, over the flag of the Kingdom of Hungary, which is over the flag of the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia. If you see the way the article Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen showcases both the flag of Hungary and Croatia, I would love to show this in a similar manner, just with 3 flags as the law in Transleithania required the flag of Hungary and Croatia be alongside each other or otherwise represented in the Hungarian diet and House of Magnates. If that is not possible, or not preferential, I would suggest merely showing the Habsburg banner of black and yellow and the "civil" flag of Hungary, without any coat of arms, as this was a common combination of flags to be flown contemporarily in the empire. Of course I would prefer flying the 3 flags, as by Transleithanian law Croatia-Slavonia had to be represented, and thus the flag of Hungary cannot suffice. If these changes cannot be made, I just suggest reverting back to showing the "see also Flags of Austria-Hungary," as it worked and prevented any discourse over it for the time it existed. Edit: It appears that it has been reverted back to the "see also Flags of Austria-Hungary." so this talk is essentially pointless unless you want to implement the changes I suggested.

The rumored flag is just the civil ensign. The page can just use the Austrian Empire flag and move on. Likisa (talk) 12:33, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

History Beyond 1878?

[edit]

Past the "beyond Lesser Germany" section, there is no history documentation, --ISometimesEatBananas (talk) 22:08, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In October 2023, the rest of the "History" section was moved to the "Military" section down below by a now-banned user (User: Pharaph). This was a mistake, in my opinion, but seems to have occasioned zero reaction or discussion on the talk page. · rodii · 12:40, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going to move it back, then.

Wrong flag the countries just used their own separate flags. Djdino468 (talk) 23:23, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Remsense ‥  00:24, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple flags

[edit]

What if we add te flags of the multiple countries, such as Cisleithania, Hungary. Croatia-Slavonia, and Bosnia-Herzegovina, while keeping the page about the flags, to explain it in more detail. Masachiku (talk) 17:37, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary clutter in the infobox. We have a separate page that's even prominently linked. Remsense ‥  17:38, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
