Gyula Bodola was Hungarian edit

Gyula Bodola was Hungarina. He was born in Brassó in Hungary. After the First War World Peace Treaty ha becane romanian citizenship! Please use Hungarian name! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.253.194.7 (talk) 11:48, 26 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Actually, he was born in Braşov, which is in modern day Romania, and he represented Romania at football before Hungary. GiantSnowman 18:09, 26 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
Sorry GiantsSnowman, but the Unsigned user has right. Gyula Bodola was Hungarian and he used the native name. Just the Romanian authorities changed his name for the Romanian version and translate his first name. Have you ever been in Hungary or Transylvania? - Csurla (talk) 19:41, 26 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
No, I've never been to either Romania or Hungary. And although the Hungarian form may be 'Gyula Bodola', this is the English-language Wikipedia, and we should therefore use the English-language form, which is widely accepted to be 'Iuliu Bodola', as shown by both FIFA and RSSSF.

Hungarian sources the better than any from Edmonton. You looks so pretty stupid - Csurla (talk) 20:07, 26 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
Please remain civil, and don't attack fellow editors. Regardless of where I'm from, the sources provided all confirm that the correct spelling for an English language article is the Romanian 'Iuliu Bodola'. GiantSnowman 20:09, 26 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
Sorry ALL English resources BAD. The Hangarian is also a language. You can learn in Hungarian. But just mention the 3rd links also refer to death date 1992! Too many bad information in this artcile. - Csurla (talk) 20:13, 26 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
In fairness, none of the English-language resources, especially FIFA, would be deemed unreliable by Wikipedia standards. GiantSnowman 20:14, 26 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
Never mind! I would like to help, but it's not so easy. - Csurla (talk) 20:16, 26 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Dear Editor! I am just wondering if he was Romanian, why did he die in Hungary? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.134.207.80 (talk) 21:01, 28 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

The place where you die is no indication of nationality. For example, Sándor Kocsis died in Spain; does that then make him Spanish rather than Hungarian? GiantSnowman 21:17, 28 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
