Talk:Mór Jókai

Untitled

The title of this page should be: Jókai, Mór. Jókai was the surname, Mór the Christian name.

The above (anonymous) suggestion is not usual in Wikipedia, however, Hungarian names are usually written with accents (except for the letters not present in Latin-1 character set, and unless a person anglicized his/her name). So it should be named Mór Jókai, in accordance with the current practice.

I second that. BTW is there some new rule on WP that we have to vote about it instead of simply moving the page? Seems awfully bureaucratic to me... Alensha 19:40, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

No, there's no such new rule, I just couldn't move the article myself for some reason (WP didn't let me do so), that's why I had to make a request for it. --Adam78 01:11, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

There was already a short article at Mór Jókai. I copied the more complete text there and made this one a redirect. Alensha 20:34, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I'm afraid it was not wise of you. Anybody could have done this copy-paste. This practise is not recommended (practically forbidden) in Wikipedia, since this way the history of a page (who corrected & inserted what) completely gets lost. I suppose this action of yours will soon be reverted. Please try to refrain from doing it again. --Adam78 22:00, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Oops, sorry, I didn't know that. I'm reverting them. Alensha 19:24, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, today Komarom was at Jokai-time Szőny. --Mt7 16:20, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Banned under Communism?

"Because it could be read as a satirical allegory on Leninism and Stalinism in the Soviet Union, the book was banned in Hungary in the decades of the Communist régime. (Its "Critical Edition" was delayed until 1981.)"

First, Communism in Hungary ended in 1989, so if there was a critical edition in 1981, clearly the book wasn't banned in the last decade of the Communist regime (not to mention that the edition must have been prepared for some time before that, which probably wouldn't have happened if it had not received a green light already earlier). Second, the statement in parentheses sounds like an explanation and justification of the first statement, but if the only form the ban took was the fact that nobody took the pains to make new editions for a few decades (for whatever reason), that is hardly sufficient to call it a ban.--94.155.68.202 (talk) 00:55, 8 December 2018 (UTC)

I think it refers to the Stalinist era (1949–1956), not the "soft dictatorship" of János Kádár's socialism 1956-1988.(KIENGIR (talk) 11:20, 8 December 2018 (UTC))

Well, if that was the case, it should be stated so, but note that the current text literally says "the decades of the Communist régime", whereas 1949-1956 is just 7 years, not even one decade. And, of course, the period of Kádár's regime, however soft, is always considered part of the Communist era (for that matter, it constitutes three-quarters of said era). Whatever the facts of the matter, this sentence is clearly wrong. A reliable source on the subject needs to be found and the sentence needs to be modified in accordance with it. --94.155.68.202 (talk) 18:58, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

I already did that.(KIENGIR (talk) 19:49, 11 December 2018 (UTC))

Hi Man! Thanks, it was a good remark! I have just corrected the entry. 88.132.243.233 (talk) 10:30, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
