Improving the article

WP:RELIABLE sources for the development of architecture in Slovakia, which could be difficult as Slovakia is a small and relatively new country. TSventon (talk) 19:22, 28 March 2021 (UTC).[reply

Not to mention that 90% of the buildings discussed in the article were built when the territory of present-day Slovakia belonged to Hungary (till 1918/20). --Norden1990 (talk) 22:21, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @TSventon: indeed, I am checking on a couple of books (those noted in the bibliography section, although they're quite specific, as well as Craig Cravens' Culture and Customs of the Czech Republic and Slovakia (2006), which has a section on architecture, though still Prague-heavy. As regards the comment by @Norden1990: this in principle should not be an issue, as the article concerns the architecture on the territory of present-day Slovakia, whether it is of Habsburg, Hungarian or Czechoslovak origin. --Dans (talk) 08:31, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, but original version of the article write about "Slovak aristocrats" and so on. --Norden1990 (talk) 11:39, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There was indeed a lower nobility among Slovaks too. Almost all of them switched to the Hungarian language by the 19th century, but their existence is not controversial. --Azure94 (talk) 16:56, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, but "aristocrats" and "lower nobility" are two different things. First of all, they did not build the great castles in the 16th-17th centuries. --Norden1990 (talk) 17:03, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Azure94, Norden1990, hopefully you can agree on some NPOV wording. TSventon (talk) 17:48, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
