Italian names of Croatian cities
I am reposting my comment (with some edits) from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Infobox_settlement#Worrying_trend_on_articles_about_Croatian_coastal_cities_that_were_under_occupation_by_Fascist_Italy| Template Talk: Infobox settlements].
On articles about Croatian, coastal cities that were occupied by fascist Italy after WWI and during WWII the infobox shows the Italian name for the city under the Croatian name for the city, see examples: Šibenik, Zadar, Split,_Croatia, Trogir, Pula, Opatija, Rovinj, and so on. Every Croatian city that used to be under Fascist Italy occupation has the Italian name right under the Croatian name.
Arguments against the use of Italian names as "other name":
- The addition of the Italian name is usually justified by a single, Italian-language source (most often a history book).
- According to the census in 2021 there are some ~13.000 Italians living in Croatia; they do not make up a significant minority and Italian is not an official language in Croatia.
- Croatian wikipedia does not have Italian names in the infobox.
- This is English wikipedia, the vast majority of readers won't know the city by the Italian name, but they will know it by the name that is used in English-language websites, travel guides, etc. and those sources always use the Croatian name.
- The infobox can actually do damage because it can make readers think that the Italian name is an acceptable other/alternative name for the city currently in use, when it absolutely is not.
- The historical name of the cities is always mentioned in the History section. Per WP:INFOBOXPURPOSE the infobox should be a summary of the key facts. A historical name that isn't used in Croatia or the English-speaking world is hardly a key fact.
I was able to successfully argue for the removal of the name from Rijeka, but to do this for every single settlement/city where this is an issue would be too time consuming. I am hoping for a solution that would have all the Italian names removed at once, and then those who wish to add the name can argue for its addition on the article's talk page.
In addition to discussing the other name in the infobox, we can also discuss whether having the Italian name featured prominently in the lede is justified.

:I have made edits to: Trogir, Opatija, Pula (also removed a redirect from Pola and its listing on the Pola disambiguation page as a historical province of Italy), Dubrovnik, Split, Rovinj, Zadar, Šibenik, Primošten (!!). Looks like every single settlement on the Croatian coast is going to have an Italian name, either simply there, or as an also known as, or as a historically known as. Then the "historically known" name is always going to be in bold, so it is as prominent in the lede as the current name.
:I also removed Pula from the "Pola" disambiguation page. I removed Šibenik from the Sebenico disambiguation page, and a [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sebenico&redirect=no| redirect from "Sebenico"]. Which made me realise, there's probably a redirect and a disambiguation page for nearly every coastal settlement...
:yup:

::Removing the Hungarian name of Pula (Póla) from the lead is understandable, although it would be more correct to retain it under a "Name/Etymology" section, and the redirect should be retained (in all cases). Please restore the Pola redirect and its place on the disambiguation page. The rest of your deletions will be reverted by other editors over time. Yes, Primošten has a Slavic etymology, but although few would protest its removal from the lead, Capocesto is very different from Primošten and should be retained in "Other" names in the infobox {{emphasis|until}} you create a separate "Name" section for the information together with a source to confirm. See Istanbul#Name for an example of a Name section that includes currently unofficial names; the main reason "Constantinople" is not in the lead in that case is because there is a separate article for Constantinople.
::If you want to get into policy, Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names)#General guidelines states, "{{tq|Relevant foreign language names (one used by at least 10% of sources in the English language or that is used by a group of people which used to inhabit this geographical place) are permitted. Local official names should be listed before other alternate names if they differ from a widely accepted English name.}}" This means Pola and Rovigno are covered as "local official names" (see [https://doi.org/10.31724/rihjj.46.2.20 Službena dvojezičnost u Istarskoj županiji: stanje i perspektive]), while the rest are covered as "used by a group of people which {{emphasis|used}} to inhabit this geographical place". Even if they weren't, in current times the Italian name makes up well over 10% of sources in the English language (see Google Ngrams [https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=Trau%2CTrogir&year_start=1800&year_end=2022&corpus=en&smoothing=0 for Trau,Trogir], [https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=Opatija%2CAbbazia&year_start=1800&year_end=2022&corpus=en&smoothing=0 for Opatija,Abbazia], [https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=Dubrovnik%2CRagusa&year_start=1800&year_end=2022&corpus=en&smoothing=0 for Dubrovnik,Ragusa] and [https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=%C5%A0ibenik%2CSebenico&year_start=1800&year_end=2022&corpus=en&smoothing=0 Šibenik,Sebenico]. The only exception is [https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=Spalato%2CSplit&year_start=1800&year_end=2022&corpus=en&smoothing=0 for Spalato,Split], where "Split" dominates by a much more significant margin. [https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=Zara%2CZadar&year_start=1800&year_end=2022&corpus=en&smoothing=0 Zara,Zadar] is obfuscated by Zara (retailer), but "Zara" made up more than 10% of all English mentions before the retailer was founded.

The majority of Italian names you erased existed long before il irredentismo, and even if they were invented during that period, those names would still deserve a redirect and a mention in the Names/Etymology section. Ivan (talk) 19:03, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

::::::::{{tq|"you need to create a Name/Etymology section immediately after the lead."}}
::::::::Alright. Here's a relevant example, Istanbul. "Constantinople" is neither in the lede nor infobox. But it does have an etymology section that goes through all the historical names for the city. I think that is a more elegant solution than just shoving a bunch of names in the lede.

::::No aspersions were cast - I'm just asking, because the arguments are very similar - let's get rid of vaguely controversial information in a contentious topic area. The argument in OP is way too broad to be useful - the use of e.g. Fiume is well-attested in the sources, and your claims about it being irrelevant are patently false. On the other hand, the use of other Italian toponymy could well be too minor to note. My response is generally the same as in the previous discussions - if there's reason to believe an English reader could well encounter such names in sources about the same topic, there is no reason to censor them, we can only have a discussion about what's the reasonable place. Your edits at Sebenico I had to revert, and they do little to reassure us you're not here to just blindly censor stuff contrary to policy. --Joy (talk) 12:33, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

:There is also the recent trend by LukeWiller to add: “historical known as (insert Italian version of name)” to all thebCroatian coastal town and city articles. For example “Split (/splɪt/, Croatian:[splît] ⓘ), historically known as Spalato” however historically it also had other names including Split. Otherwise it implies historically it only had Spalato as a name and Split was a recent invention. So I don’t see how it is a helpful addition. OyMosby (talk) 22:01, 12 May 2025 (UTC)
In all this, do not forget that MOS:LEADCLUTTER needs to be avoided, like in Moscow or Gdansk, so different (non-English) names and spellings should be put in a note. I question the need for historical names in the lead, as in most cases the next (first) section will be about the historical names. The first sentence should be simple, and about what's now.

:Ruđer Bošković, whose father had spent his childhood in Rascia, and whose mother was an Italian, called his paternal tongue "Illyrian". In the 16th century, Mavro Vetranović stands alone among native Ragusan writers in calling his languge "Croatian". By the end of the 16th century, Dinko Zlatarić at least considered whatever he called his language to be synonymous enough with "Croatian" in his dedication to Juraj Zrinski, as a more conservative conclusion on the evidence presented most prominently by Viktor Matić, although the request by Juraj's son from Čikulin for more Zlatarić works written in "horvatska ali dalmatiska" reflects the knowledge that it was more common for literate Slavic speakers in Durovnik to refer to their language as "Dalmatian" at the time. The popularity of "Slavic", already common at least as an exonym, was ensured by its use in 1601 by the Ragusan writer Orbini. Already in 1604, Bartol Kašić decided on "Illyrian" for his grammar, but it was his 1640 work Rituale Romanum ... Illyrica lingua, used for centuries in every Catholic church of Dalmatia sensu lato, that caused "Illyrian" to overtake "Slavic" among even the lower elite, reinforced among the upper elite by historical works like Lucius' De regno Dalmatiae et Croatiae. Very gradually, "Slavic" gave way to "Illyrian", but managed to persist, as did "Croatian", "Dalmatian", "Rascian", and yes, "Serbian", all in part thanks to the historians and in part thanks to a continuous stream of Slavic refugees and immigrants from each of those parts. Bošković belonged to the educated class, and so there is a chance that in addition to "Illyrian" and, obviously, "Ragusan", he considered himself a "Croat" or a "Serb", so it is not improper to feature him on both lists. The citations that have been added to the article go into greater depth (in some cases), and I find them sufficient. Ⰻⱁⰲⰰⱀⱏ (ⰳⰾ) 10:17, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

In writings to his sister Anica (Anna), he told her he had not forgotten the Croatian language. In a letter to his brother from 1757, he describes the encounter with Croatian soldiers in Vienna and remarks at the end of the letter: "{{Lang|it|Eviva Haddick e i nostri Croati!}}" ("Long life to Hadik and to our Croats!").{{cite web| url= http://www.matica.hr/Vijenac/vijenac386.nsf/AllWebDocs/Rugjer_Boskovic_je_nas_suvremenik_| title= Matica hrvatska – Vijenac 386 – Rugjer Bošković je naš suvremenik| via =matica.hr| access-date= 12 January 2015}} While living in Paris and attending to a military parade where he saw a Croatian unit from Ragusa, his words were: "there are my brave Croats".78.1.100.76 (talk) 11:30, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

But the evidence you have adduced is insufficient to demonstrate that he did {{emphasis|not}}, either.

Il fatto è certo, e abbiamo due corrieri uno dalla Lusazia, e l'altro del Princ: Carlo. Seguì la Domenica a 16, come si diceva: le particolarità, non le so con gran certezza.

His use of "our" does not by any means extend only to the Croats, but to all the "Imperiali" collectively, as was the case in his letter about the Battle of Rossbach (p. 381).
