Names of Slovenian hospitals

Hi, Doremo! I hope you're doing well. I have seen your edit here and would request some clarification. Why have you omitted 'Dr' in the names of the Nova Gorica and Ptuj hospitals? They are included in the official Slovene names. In addition, the name of the town is placed after the word 'hospital' solely in Wikipedia. --TadejM ^{my talk} 20:16, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the first question, English names of hospitals generally do not use honorifics (beyond Saint, Queen, or similar); for example: Walter Reed Army Medical Center, William Harvey Hospital, or John Radcliffe Hospital, all named after physicians. There are exceptions. Hospital names staring with Dr. typically sound like they are located in developing countries (there are many named like this in India). If I understand the second question, Slovenian uses a generic-specific order in names, whereas English uses a specific-generic order (e.g., Čebelarsko društvo Grosuplje 'Grosuplje Beekeeping Association'), thus Splošna bolnišnica Celje 'Celje General Hospital'.

Thanks. I guess we should stick with the official name as Slovene names sometimes use the honorifics and sometimes not. The second question was why the order (Dr) Franc Derganc General Hospital of Nova Gorica and not (Dr) Franc Derganc Nova Gorica General Hospital. Web search mostly offers the second order.--TadejM ^{my talk} 12:49, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For the of syntax—(Dr.) Franc Derganc₁ General Hospital₀ of Nova Gorica₂—compare John H. Stroger Jr.₁ Hospital₀ of Cook County₂. Changing the order would theoretically be OK too (although I can't find an example of this type), but the other way around (i.e., the modifier closest to the noun should remain closest whether it is left or right); cf. Letališče₀ Jožeta Pučnika₁ Ljubljana₂ → Ljubljana₂ Jože Pučnik₁ Airport₀, thus Splošna bolnišnica₀ Dr. Franca Derganca₁ Nova Gorica₂ → Nova Gorica₂ (Dr.) Franc Derganc₁ General Hospital₀.

About Dole village

I edited page in Wikipedia about Dole,Idrija and stated that Dole was part of Inner Carniola during Habsburg period but today it is considered part of Littoral. I added an article that stated Idrija as part of Littoral (slov. Primorska). You reversed my edit and I don't know what was wrong with my edit. Dole is part of Municipality of Idrija, which is part of Gorizia region which is considered part of Littoral. Borutck (talk) 18:04, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your message. The issue is that this distinction ("part of the traditional region of Inner Carniola but now popularly considered part of the Littoral") would apply to a very large number of villages and other locations, not only the relatively insignificant settlement of Dole. The popular reconceptualization of this traditional region is clearly explained at the linked Inner Carniola article, and it would be redundant (and inefficient) to repeat it for every locality. For a similar example, Dole is also part of the European Union—but, rather than stating this fact for every locality in Slovenia, it is handled more efficiently once at the Slovenia article. Doremo (talk) 18:16, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your response. I understand that the region was classified as part of Inner Carniola during the Austro-Hungarian period, more than a century ago. However, today, both the Municipality of Idrija and the local population commonly regard themselves as part of the Slovenian Littoral.

Initially, I updated the article to reflect the current understanding by replacing "Inner Carniola" with "Littoral". After your reversal, I adjusted the wording to reflect both the historical and current perspectives: "It was considered part of Inner Carniola during the Habsburg period, but today it is regarded as part of the Slovenian Littoral." Borutck (talk) 18:41, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a note to the article to make this clear. I suppose there's no harm in redundancy. Doremo (talk) 19:13, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
