Talk:Autumn Campaign

Regarding the POV related to the presentation of ethnic conflicts in Transylvania

This article only mentions the atrocities committed against civilians in passing, in a single sentence. I have linked the article dealing with this topic (1848–1849 massacres in Transylvania) to the chapter. So anyone who wants to learn about this story can read it. As for the impartiality of that sentence, in October and November 1848, unprovoked atrocities were committed against the Hungarian civilian population (Zalatna, Borosbocsárd, Diód, Gyulafehérvár, Gerendkeresztúr, Székelykocsárd, Hátszeg, Marosújvár, Mikeszásza, Kisenyed, Magyarigen, Boklya, Felvinc, etc.). This means that the victims were unarmed and did not try to fight those who killed them. In the case of the Romanians, there were a few incidents in September that occurred solely because the Hungarian army wanted to conscript Romanian villagers. They resisted, armed themselves, and confronted the military. At that point, the military fired on them and killed several Romanian peasants. Unfortunately, in countries where military service is compulsory, it is still illegal to resist conscription. This constitutes a violation of the law. And it is especially forbidden to resist conscription with weapons. So it is difficult to call these cases atrocities. After the fighting began, during the Székely counterattack, there were a few cases of Romanians being attacked and civilians being killed, mainly near Szászrégen. But nothing more than that happened in the fall of 1848. A maximum of 100-200 Romanians died in these incidents, compared to thousands of Hungarians. So it would not be right to draw a parallel between the Hungarian and Romanian atrocities. But, I will mention in the article that Hungarians also killed Romanians.

Referencing errors

Hello Sylvain1975! This article contains about 15 referencing errors at the moment. For example, the reference "Spira 1959" is used and never defined several times. Same for "Hermann XV2013". Should this article be moved to draft space until the referencing issues can be sorted out? -- mikeblas (talk) 16:01, 6 September 2025 (UTC)

Hi, Thanks for your notice. I am working on it. I had write 4 big articles in the last days, and now I put them the Sources part. Today I finished 2 and tomorrow I will finish the other two, among them the Autumn Campaign. By the way, I fixed Spira. The problem with Hermann XV2013 was that I wrote the XV with Arab numbers in the References. I corrected it. But tomorrow I will finish all the references.
