[edit] Germans in Hungary

The numbers of Danube Swabians livng in hungary now are cited from the German wiki article [1], but seems to be wrong (see discussion page there). According to the latest Hungarian census(2001), the number of all ethnic Germans (which is not limited to Danube Swabians alone) should be about 120,000 (1.2% of a total population of about 10 million). As such, I think it needs to be corrected, and/or if alternative sources exist, there should another sentence dealing with that and indicating the source, after the official census results are given. As for German mayors in Hungary, I am not sure about that, and this sentence (oddly enough) seems to apply to Romania. The mayor of a major city (Sibiu) is German (see there, and Klaus Johannis), as well as mayors of smaller towns -- see DFDR. There could be more discussion on the topic, but I will leave it here. 19:49, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] English sources for the English language Wiki

Sources for the English Wikipedia need to be in English. English readers should be able to read them, and Wiki editors should be able to check them.

Also, even without being able to read German, it is obvious that the German version is largely without in-text citations. The problem is carried over to this article.
