Talk:Andrew Jaszi

[Untitled]

I'm still rather new at this. Formatting remains a bit of a challenge! Is there anyone who could help with the following points on this article: (1) Re: the list of "Articles in English": I didn't mean for there to be a shaded box containing the three entries from the book The Poem Itself. I simply meant to have an indentation or a bulleted list or whatever is customary on Wikipedia for this kind of itemization. (2) For the "External links": Is there a way to hide the http: address (as it presently appears) and just have the linking sign appear on the page? (3) For the title name of the article I have not included the long-vowel ligature over the letter "a" in the name "Jaszi" because I've found that usage varies since he was a Hungarian-born intellectual working in the US. Some of his publications and references to him include it, others do not. (4) I don't (yet) know how to add "Categories" at the end of an article. Thank you in advance for your help!

I fixed the above problems. Jaszi lived in the United States since 1925 (8 years old) and published his works under his name without "á" latter, so I guess the current title of the article is correct. Thank you for creating new and high standard articles! If you have any question, please feel free to contact me. --Norden1990 (talk) 21:45, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your help! Among other things, the page looks much nicer now. With regard to Andrew Jászi's emigration to the US: it was not in 1925, but 1935. So, he was 17 years old at the time. His name on his two books published in German do not use the long a mark, but Hinrich Seeba's entry in the Germanistenlexikon does use it, and one finds it occasionally elsewhere. As long as the slight inconsistency (article title without the mark; the contents of the article with) is not a problem, I imagine it can be left as is. Thank you for adding his original Hungarian name! I was wondering about adding the IPA pronunciation guide for his last name, since most Americans will have no idea how it is pronounced. What do think? Oh, one other thing: I'm still finding out about "Categories." Is there one for "Phenomenologists"? Viktor Ostrovsky (talk) 23:53, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

I added Phenomenologists category. You can easily add categories to the articles if use Wikipedia:HotCat. You can activate in the following way: Preferences --> Gadgets --> Editing (just tick off the appropriate box (HotCat) and finally Save. After that you can add categories at the bottom of the articles. --Norden1990 (talk) 00:24, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

Many thanks, Norden, for all your editing help and for your encouragement in general! Is there a way you could suggest of linking Peter Jaszi's page (Andrew Jaszi's nephew) to this one? (Peter was the son of George Jaszi.) I think George really ought to have his own entry as well, given that he was a well-known economic analyst and a member of this highly accomplished family. The thing is, I don't have the time now to write it. What about just creating a stub now to serve as a placeholder until I, or another contributor, writes the article?
