conflicting versions...

The most recent version, Uploaded by Nygaard was pathetic... the sources were redirects that ended up in some Hungarian language newspaper and the others to a poorly organized ramble on Slovak history... Perhaps mr Nygaard should stop pushing his own agenda. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.248.200.10 (talk) 17:51, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Two Suggestions

First, just from the standpoint of helping the reader understand the significance of this event, IMO, the intro and opening sections could be sharpened up so that the reason for the conflict is made plainer for the general reader. I'm having trouble totally understanding why, for example, the locals were so wrought up over this to begin with.

Second, phrases like 'false apostles of Magyar culture' suggest POV-ness which should probably be avoided. Again, I get that there were two sides to this fight, but I'm not sure I could explain what the differences were. I think the first things that should be stated are what the government policy was, and why the locals were on a collision course with it.

That version was a likely copyvio inserted completely by an IP editor of dubious track record. I'm reverting to the earlier version before his involvement, contributed by the community. Hobartimus (talk) 01:09, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

I have restored some of the information (mostly names and dates) and removed the statements that seem to be original research (e.g. who "could" gain from the events). Tankred (talk) 03:56, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
