[[User:Jolicnikola|Jolicnikola]] just changed the mayor of Zadar from [[Zvonimir Vrančić]] to [[Božidar Kalmeta]]. Kalmeta won the recent election, in the first round he garnered 48.43% to Ivo Bilic's 31.98%, and in the second round it was 57% to Bilic's 40.38%.

If Kalmeta has already taken office, does someone have a citation to a reliable source for that fact? --[[User:Bejnar|Bejnar]] ([[User talk:Bejnar|talk]]) 19:08, 9 June 2013 (UTC) |

There's no mention for a "Etymology and historical names" such as used in the page. It is recommended to avoid creating sections with different titles. This may lead to confusion, and this is the case. The section is ambiguously misleading about historical names and relevant foreign language names suggesting that some names have only a historical value. There is also no mention of the German and Hungarian names. Relevant foreign language names are to be mentioned as such at the beginning of the section and not to be mixed with archaic names.

Some changes
- Jurai Dalmatinac, Lucijan Vranjanin and Frane Vranjanin names changed to their equivalent romance versions. This is to put the names in accordance with the the names used in the relevant articles in en:wiki. If some editor suppose the slaviks name should be used in the Zadar's articles, he/she is welcome to justify that with appropriate sourcing (but in the relevant articles first).
- I changed the wording, because Giorgio da Sebenico is not a renaissance man but an architect and sculptor.
- Giorgio da Sebenico was probably born in Zadar.

Mayoral Election

(Božidar Kalmeta - Pročitaj najnovije članke vezane uz ...) But until Kalmeta takes office, I think that it is premature to change the name. If Kalmeta has already taken office, does someone have a citation to a reliable source for that fact? --Bejnar (talk) 19:08, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
Names
According to Wikipedia naming conventions: "other relevant language names may appear in alphabetic order of their respective languages" or "alternatively, all alternative names can be moved to and explained in a "Names" or "Etymology" section immediately following the lead, or a special paragraph of the lead". There's no mention for a "Etymology and historical names" such as used in the page. It is recommended to avoid creating sections with different titles. This may lead to confusion, and this is the case. The section is ambiguously misleading about historical names and relevant foreign language names suggesting that some names have only a historical value. There is also no mention of the German and Hungarian names. Relevant foreign language names are to be mentioned as such at the beginning of the section and not to be mixed with archaic names.
