• 16:0616:06, 27 December 2024 diff hist −505 Kasha The article equivocated on whether kasha is an East European buckwheat dish or a Slav term for all porridge and groats. In fact, kasha may be buckwheat by default in Russian and in English, but in most other Slavic langs, not only Czech, it refers to all kinds of purê, incl. mashed potatoes. These belong to European, but not specifically Eastern European, cuisine. The illustration by Norblin is in fact of a French, not Polish, woman. current

• 16:5816:58, 19 October 2024 diff hist −176 Komárno →Sights: Replaced vague wording in the section about the Statue of the Holy Trinity. Specified that the paragraph refers to the inscription of the statue, and that the "rebels" were those of the Rakoczi rebellion.

• 15:2915:29, 1 February 2024 diff hist −445 Crime in Toronto Updated the beginning of the first paragraph to reflect recent facts. The rest of the page is also outdated and represents Toronto crime as much more extensive than it has been recently.

• 23:4923:49, 5 November 2023 diff hist −15 Slovak National Theatre →Old building: "The interior was decorated with frescoes by Bratislava native painter Kornél Spányik ..." I substituted Bratislava for "Pressburg/Pozsony." Those are the German and Hungarian names of the city, but it is common usage in English today to use the current Slovak name. (If using the historic names the Slovak Prešporok could also have been used, even if the city's ethnic composition was not mostly Slovak.)

• 18:2618:26, 13 February 2023 diff hist +9 Burqa →Pre-Islamic use of the face veil: I replaced "Canaan" with "ancient Israel." At the time being referred to, the area was not known as Canaan. "Palestine" would also be correct in terms of geographical terminology as used today (though not at the time).

• 01:2201:22, 6 February 2023 diff hist +135 Ruski Krstur →Name: I took out the note that said that the village's name is of Slavic origin. It might theoretically be the case that "krst" is from a Slavic root, but that would not explain the "ur" part, or the existence of "Bodrogkereztur" in Hungary.

• 23:5423:54, 13 December 2022 diff hist −423 Slovak First Football League →History: Edited this section to be historically accurate. There was not "German occupation of Czechoslovakia," just of the Czech-speaking part. And Slovan was not removed from the Czechoslovak league; that league ceased to exist.

• 17:4517:45, 24 November 2022 diff hist +114 Louis Brandeis →Family life: Added "citation needed." The Brandeis family were important members of the community now called the "Spanish synagogue" of Prague, not Frankists at all but an early Reform community.

It's hard to see in what sense this unit of the WWII losing Axis was victorious in general, even if its scored some successes.

• 18:3318:33, 15 October 2022 diff hist −49 m Baal Shem Tov Removed "from Poland " in the first paragraph. His area of origin is now Ukraine, although in his lifetime was part of the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth. As his birthplace is given later, it's probably best not to name the country in this context.

• 15:4915:49, 8 October 2022 diff hist −167 m Coronation of the Bohemian monarch Mostly edits to improve the English of the article and its style. Minor edits to the first paragraph mostly to reflect that the Holy Roman Empire was not "another" monarchy because Bohemia was part of it, and that the Hungarian coronation ceremony was not less similar to the Bohemian than the French or English, which are also mentioned. Also "neighboring" is not a necessary qualifier for Hungary because neighboring German monarchies also presumably had similar ceremonies.

Josephus does not say that Moses had the title of Prince (though he was a prince as the Pharaoh's grandson). "Prince of Egypt" is the name, rather, of a Hollywood movie.

• 16:3916:39, 28 May 2022 diff hist −76 Carthusians →Locations of monasteries: Deleted "The two in Korea, one of monks and one of nuns, are of recent construction." This gives the impression that all the other charterhouses mentioned are very old. That is not the case, certainly with the US and the Argentinian charterhouse.

This was not the case. It became the capital of one of the four regions of Czechosl;., Subcarpathian Ruthenia, which was not part of Slovakia (which is probably what was meant here by the "eastern half" of Czechoslovakia.

12 February 2022

• 18:0318:03, 12 February 2022 diff hist 0 Titles of Mary, mother of Jesus →Historical and cultural context: Replaced "intensified Marian devotion in Western Europe" with "intensified Marian devotion among Roman Catholics." The counter-Ref was very powerful also in parts of what is now thought of as Eastern Europe (Czech Rep., Hungary, Poland) & at the same time Protestantism was very powerful also in Western Europe, and it discouraged the worship of Mary.

"Western" or "Eastern" Europe are not meaningful categories at this stage of history, but Hus was influential throughout Latin Christendom, including in what we now call Eastern Europe.
