Landlocked country, landlocked state[edit]

I would like to remove "landlocked country" remark, as it is the repetition of already mentioned landlocked state in the previous sentence. It doesn't sound good when same things are repeated several times. Can you just leave the word "country" instead. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Denisademkova (talk • contribs) 16:03, November 4, 2011 (UTC)

Maps[edit]

When there are editorial conflicts and a consensus is sought, a great tool is a precedent. Wikipedia is standardized and structured, so it's a good idea to look at other articles in such a conflict. I think the maps in Infobox should be displayed differently. All you need is a map and a scale within Europe. As an argument, I also prove that this is also the case in other European countries with a comparable area in their Infoboxes. (for example: Czechia, Hungary, Latvia)--Igec133 (talk) 07:42, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am not unequivocally against it. I do not consider the change very important. I, the user from Slovakia. ✍️ Dušan Kreheľ (talk) 08:03, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

History in Infobox[edit]

The country infobox serves to briefly provide basic information. The same is true for the part involving history. However, this is not currently the case in this article. This section does not show the basic historical events crucial to statehood, but the whole historical discourse. This is not right and no other country's Infobox has it. Note that there are 10 historical events with lots of parentheses and notes. Compared to Germany, which has a much longer statehood, for which 5 events are enough. Simply compared to any other country - this Infobox in wiki article about a country is crazy and unprecedented. Not to mention that there is a historical event about the state (Slovak state during WW2), to which the current Slovakia does not reference politically or legally, and therefore it is not an event in its statehood. Therefore, I perform standardization with really basic and key events, not the whole discourse.--Igec133 (talk) 07:53, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Opposite. If, it is very big problem for You, the section can be collapsed. ✍️ Dušan Kreheľ (talk) 08:03, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Opposite. Every country has different kind of history, you cant remove important facts in infobox about Slovak history to only few basic points, just because you dont like how many information it has. The infobox is without change for many months and it looks like you are the only one editor who has problem with that. You constantly removing map - Slovakia on the globe, informations about Slovak history and also even anthem from infobox (thats pure vandalism). Please stop with your disturbing edits.

I would also support removing the First Slovak Republic from the establishment history section. Croatia and Ukraine's articles don't include their respective Axis collaborationist governments in the establishment history section, so I don't see a reason to include a similar government in this page's infobox's establishment history section. CJ-Moki (talk) 02:50, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Opposite. The First Slovak Republic didn't come to being as a result of a 'simple' ruling party change. It was the first Slovak country. Gyalu22 (talk) 13:40, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
