Readd Hungarian to native names

edit

I added the Hungarian name for Vojvodina (Vajdaság), but it was removed under the pretext of it "not being a native name". I don't understand as Hungarians constitute the largest ethnic minority in Serbia, at around 2.8% of the country, and in Vojvodina constitute about 10.5-10.6% of it's population, not to mention the lands of modern Vojvodina were largely under Hungarian rule for several hundred years until early 1919, and Hungarian culture is still very strong there. Why then was it removed? Please provide an explanation as to why it isn't a native name when Serbia had not owned territories in Vojvodina(for long periods of time) for about 6 centuries until 1918-1919. Thank you for your time. CrazyFruitBat911 (talk) 20:37, 2 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Because Vojvodina is part of Serbia, not Hungary, the majority of population which lives there is Serbian, the culture there is Serbian, the name also came from the Serbs who inhabited that region for the last 500 years, meaning Duchy-Vojvodstvo, if we are to follow the logic of the past times, then we should add Serbian names to a number of Hungarian cities which had Serbian majority in the past. Also what is the most important part, all the official names of Vojvodina are already present in the name section where it belongs, including Hungarian name, and since there are several official languages in Vojvodina, posting Hungarian name in front of other names gives wp:undue Theonewithreason (talk) 20:45, 2 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
Ah right I didn't see that thanks for the clarification I meant purely since they were the largest ethnic minority in the region. CrazyFruitBat911 (talk) 21:02, 2 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Flag and Coat of Arms

edit

We should remove traditional flag and emblem in the infobox because nobody really uses them any more in Vojvodina, they mostly use official flag and sometimes Serbian state flag! King of Croatia1 (talk) 09:21, 11 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

The only Official flag is the Serbian flag since Vojvodina is Serbian province, all other flags including traditional ones are in use mostly in cultural events including what you call Vojvodina flag, which has no any other advantage over others.

The official Vojvodina Flash is used by the goverment and parliament od Vojvodin. King of Croatia1 (talk) 10:35, 12 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
The use of flags is defined by the decision of Parliament of Vojvodina: By the text of that decision both flags are in official use and are of the equal status. No need to continue discussing the obvious. Klačko (talk) 11:36, 12 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
