In 19th century, the city was called Budějovice or Budweis, never České Budějovice (as it is today)

[edit]

@FromCzech I disagree with your edit, that replaced all instances of "Budějovice" with "České Budějovice". In 19th century, the city was called Budějovice or Budweis, never České Budějovice (as it is today). Calling it České Budějovice in this article is like calling today's New York during the years 1626-1667 "New York" instead of New Amsterdam. Martin J. Němeček (talk) 06:58, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The name České Budějovice has been used since the 15th century. The Czech name Budějovice (without České) was used only during World War II (http://www.encyklopedie.c-budejovice.cz/clanek/jmeno-mesta). Among other things, this name is more understandable for readers and uniform within the Wiki. FromCzech (talk) 07:31, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
