Untitled[edit]

I don't know whether "Mátészalka" "was later renamed in (Mate Zalka's) honour", but it would be better to mention that he took the penname which later became his official name, after the name of the place where he studied. It isn't mentioned that Zalka took part in the Civil War in Russia, on the side of Bolsheviks. I have never seen any references to Zalka's participation in any war in Turkey, not that he was called by a Hungarian word for "general" there. The name of Zalka's daughter, "Talocska" is for some reason spelled in Hungarian. In English it should be spelled "Talochka", which is diminutive of Russian name Natalia (Наталия). If her death really had anything to do with Chernobyl, the fact should be substantiated somehow. I've removed supposition that Stalin was so much afraid of Zalka's popularity that he organized artillery bombardment of his car by Nationalists as doubtful. Sorry for my English

It was presumably the school that was renamed. The town was not; this is a very old village/town in Hungary. It was formed from 4 villages going back to the 1200-s; two with name variants of "Máté" and two of "Szalka". In fact I seem to remember reading that in fact Zalka took his alias from the name of his birhtplace.kovesp (talk) 17:49, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry to say this, but this article needs a better English translation. There are many sentences I simply couldn't understand. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.123.108.28 (talk) 14:44, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

References[edit]

the references the article gives,about a suposedly being written by a family member of Zalka not only is it hard to prove but even if proven it doesnt comply with wikipedia policies,and the five pillars.--Andres rojas22 21:12, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
