Name?

edit

All three names (English, German, and Hungarian) are listed in the first sentence of the article. However, the page name uses the German name. I would suggest, in order to keep more of a NPOV, and not show preference of the German over the Hungarian versions, to use the English name as the official page name. Granted, the fact that 70-80% of the coastline is in Austria is a decided advantage to using the German name. If there are no comments in the next two weeks, I'll make the switch. samwaltz 16:00, 27 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

I think the German name is okay (compared with the Hungarian). But for me the question is wich name somebody uses to find the article and there I think we should prefer the English name.--Brian67 21:46, 27 January 2007 (UTC)Reply
Yes, absolutely, do use English name for the article's name for both reasons stated. --Lysytalk 21:53, 25 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

Missing for B-Class

edit
  1. Why is this a World Heritage Site should be covered in more detail.
  2. References should be given.
  3. The supporting material could be better--Stone (talk) 17:40, 1 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

largest such lake

edit

from the entry endoreic lakes, I understand that the largest of central europe is the caspium. Am i correct? if not, which is thelargest? pietro 2A00:1620:C0:64:21C:61FF:FE03:A4C (talk) 08:15, 16 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

I'm curious about this as well. Few would consider the Caspian part of central Europe. If there is a bigger endorheic lake in central Europe let me know, otherwise this should really be largest, not second-largest. Blythwood (talk) 08:04, 11 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
On balance, I can't find any sources for second-largest that haven't taken their facts from Wikipedia. Largest in Central Europe unless anyone can find another citation to the contrary. Blythwood (talk) 08:10, 11 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Dietrich der Grosse

Dietrich the Great was born here. Should be mentioned. I don't have permission to edit yet.2601:806:4301:C100:9C45:DF57:5180:F07A (talk) 01:56, 4 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

Source?

edit

"The lake covers 315 km² (122 sq mi), of which 240 km² (93 sq mi) is on the Austrian side and 75 km² (29 sq mi) on the Hungarian side." I'd like to see a source of these numbers.

Seeing maps like Austria location map.svg, Hungary location map.svg or Austria Burgenland relief location map.jpg it's very hard to believe that one quarter should be in Hungary... it looks more like "less than 5 percents".
