Title
editI guess that the article should be moved back to the English 'County of Gorizia'. It was moved to the current title in 2009 with the rationale: "The county's name was Görz - Gorizia is the name of a city within".[1] It is true that a town is named Gorizia, but the county's name in English is "County of Gorizia",[2] not Gorizia. --Eleassar my talk 08:52, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
- I agree; County of Gorizia is a better title (more frequent, more English) than County of Görz. Doremo (talk) 07:57, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
Article scope and accuracy
editI find this article dubious as per the historian Peter Štih, the County of Gorizia formed gradually from the 13th century and only achieved its final form in the 16th century. The article does not reflect that.
- The Counts of Gorizia were elevated to the rank of state princes in 1365.
- In the 14th century they became independent from Friuli.
- In the 16th century, the land County of Gorizia took on its full form.

Much is said about the estates of the Counts of Gorizia and their lineage, but not about the county itself.
I've therefore tagged the article with {{accuracy}} and {{coatrack}}.
There are some other interesting citations:
- "It is also clear that the Counts of Gorizia, who have borne this title since their appearance on the Soča, are not named after a county called Gorizia, because this county did not exist at that time and the territory was part of the County of Friuli and firmly in the hands of the Counts of Friuli - the Patriarchs of Aquileia. The Counts of Gorizia were named after the count rights they had in the Upper Carinthia, where they originated from."
- "The first and last sum-up of all the Gorizian estates under one name is the designation comitatus et dominium Goricie at the time of the division of 1271."[3]

- Perhaps it would make most sense to move this article to Counts of Gorizia. --TadejM my talk 23:00, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
- On the other hand, a good overview is provided in the article Goriško gospostvo na začetku 16. stoletja by Vojko Pavlin. --TadejM my talk 00:00, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
