[edit] external link

how does the above link add information to the article, besides the two photos and the 20 lines of text duplicating the information in this article ? Criztu 17:38, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

There is much more information in that page than in the article itself. If you compare only the quantity of information, there are 433 words vs 84 words. If you compare the article itself, there is interesting information about the previous ownership of the castle, the phases of construction and renovations, usage of the castle in various periods, details of the architecture and inscriptions on the castle. If there is bias in the page, that does not void the value of the information. Someone (not necessarily me or you) could incorporate all that information in the article (not by copying it directly, because that would be a copyright violation) and in that process, remove the bias, using a neutral point of view. However, after this is done, the link should continue to be kept in the references section, because of the policy of Wikipedia of citing sources. Razvan Socol 07:06, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
i think the other external link is far more richer in information. 2 pictures and 20 lines and a big link to Szekler lands indicates to me that this particular link is rather an invitation to read about a diferent topic Criztu 14:10, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

I suggest using some of the pictures from the Romanian version of this article. They are much better quality than the image seen in current English version. I'm just not sure exactly how to use images accross different language version of Wikipedia. Can someone explain how to do that? Michał Kosmulski 09:54, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

You could save http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ro/f/f8/Hun_corv2.jpg to your computer and upload it to http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Hun_corv2.jpg with the {{PD}} template and http://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imagine:Hun_corv2.jpg as the source. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 05:00, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Please don't call Hunyadi János "Iancu de Hunedoara". His name is Hunyadi János (or János Hunyadi, according to the English order. János is John). Iancu de Hunedoara is his Romanian name, but it seems logic to me that if he lived in Hungary, "worked" in Hungary, his name sholud be spelled in Hungarian. I think that you can ask the Hungarian wikipedists to help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.186.61.154 (talk) 19:51, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
