I have found this article to be hard to read. Maybe it should be rewritten with more context information, for people who aren't experts on the matter. 207.134.187.165 15:32, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Language use

To all involved; please stop deleting the Slovak in the article. He was born in what is now Slovakia, and it doesn't hurt to mention the Slovak names for things. If you feel that some Hungarian is lacking, add it too, and it can go before the Slovak, but don't delete the Slovak entirely. -Oreo Priest ^talk 16:17, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Slovakia was first created in 1993 (if you do not count fascist Slovakia lead by war criminal Jozef Tiso) so it has nothing to do with events or persons in the 1600s. Should Roman Emperors be treated the same way? Adding names of towns is one thing and we add the Slovak name everywhere, but names of persons is a different thing entirely, we don't Slovakize persons because of events hundreds of years later.

I fully agree with Hobartimus.--Nmate (talk) 16:44, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Ok, I see your point. We do have to include the Slovak for all place names though, as that's the NPOV name for those places today. -Oreo Priest ^talk 18:47, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

What do you think of it now? -Oreo Priest ^talk 18:54, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

It looks good to me.--Nmate (talk) 19:22, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

I put there his Slovak name, because it is also part of Slovakian history and Sloavkian people can better orient in Wikipedia. So Magyars should stop with their nationalism, chauvinism and antislovakian falsification of history and vandalism in Wikipedia (Samofi (talk) 02:38, 7 May 2010 (UTC))

Slovak king

"Tot kiraly" (Slovak king) is the Hungarian title used for the person of Tokoli. It is in book from Dangl (1986) and proofs are based on corespondention between Hungarian noblemans.

He was called "Slovak king" (Hungarian "Tót király", Slovak: "Slovenský král") because his realm laid on territories inhabited mostly by "Tótok" (Old Hungarian word for Slovaks).--B@xter⁹ 11:13, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

"Tót király" was used as ironic name, not as an actual title. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.2.85.95 (talk) 00:14, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

Keresztenymez

I'm trying to identify this place name. It was probably called Kereszténymező (mező is field or meadow in Hungarian, while mez is the shirt worn by athletes, somewhat less likely to be included in a historic place name), but can't find anything about it. – Alensha ^talk 22:43, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

nevermind, a search for "Keresztény mező" turned up a place called Kereszténysziget, this is the one meant here. – Alensha ^talk 22:47, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
