Talk:Banat: Difference between revisions – Wikipedia

When You google Banat, Google will guide You to this article, which means that this article should refer to geographical term of Banat, and therefore represent it completely. Due to that, an update of number of inhabitants in short description is needed – now 979119 shows up, completely ignoring cca. 700.000 inhabitants of Serbian part of Banat, and cca 50000 of Hungarian part,and if I may say, also ignores part of Romanian Banat in Arad county. On the other hand, the surface covers whole Banat (27104 km2). What is the reason for keeping incorrect data in short description? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.255.189.177 (talk) 08:34, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You can fix it yourself but sources are needed for this. Super Ψ Dro 11:21, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind actually, we have sources for the census of both Serbia and Romania in the body section. Super Ψ Dro 11:25, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Banat means “realm of a ban”, see Ban (title), and this one is the Severin Banat, so by the common rules of English language it should be “the Banat”. Any reason why it shouldn’t be? Arminden (talk) 20:13, 31 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
