I've removed this text: "The word hajduk is present in the Romanian language as haiduc , referring to outlaw solders. (Robin Hood like troops)." because the use of the word haiduc in Romanian is already covered in the separate hajduk article.

I'd like to keep the two articles (Hajduk and Hajduk (Hungarian soldiers) separate as, although the word probably has the same origins, there are two distinct meanings. Scott Moore 11:02, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

This may be a mistake in my view, especially while the articles are still in early stages. The two senses of 'outlaw' and 'irregular Balkan solider' are so intimately connected in both space and time that it is impossible to treat them separately. Incidentally, they are not just HUNGARIAN soldiers: Haiduks were the standard form of infantry in Poland from c.1570 to c.1630, and survived there as bodyguard/parade formations well into the 18th century, though admittedly they were derived from a Hungarian model.

On the contrary, the articles seem to work fairly well as two separate ones -- Hajduk refers specifically to the informal collection of people in the Balkans (also probably the most well-known definition, so deserves to remain unconfused), while Hajduk (soldiers) (Notice that it's not even titled "Hungarian soldiers" anymore) refers to the more organized units outside the Balkans. Perhaps, if enough information on both could be found, the "soldiers" article could even be split into two for the specifically Hungarian and specifically Polish definitions. -Bbik^★ 09:26, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The link in this article leads to Bihar State in India. It should relate to Bihar County, present day Hajdú-Bihar County in Hungary

Hey, what about the Croatian Hajduks

Hajduks were brigands who hid from the Venetians in Croatian fjords and inlets on the Adriatic Coast from which they attacked the the Venetians. I can only find references in Wikipedia of the Hajduk soccer team in Split, Croatia. Someone ought to add them to this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.253.164.248 (talk) 20:18, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
