Starting the Article

Well, numerous reasons compelled me- but that's not important. Due to the relatively sad-sized libraries in my small town, I don't have much access to books discussing specific topics such as Jalowaz, or any of the red-links. I know a considerably large amount on Hungary, but I am not fully learned on some topics. I also could use the assistance of someone who speaks decent hungarian to find the hungarian equivalent of the page to cooperate. They could defintely add some insight and perspective.

This is a very good article start. I suggest to expand this article by merging the sections from "Ancient and medieval military" to "After the Cold War" from the article Military of Hungary and the whole article Honvédség into this one. noclador 11:51, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Translation

I began translating the Hungarian equivalent of this article to English. I have a few questions about aesthetics though: first of all, should I cite the same sources as the Hungarian article does, or consider that article the source?
I won't touch the introduction for now, but I'll move its contents to the appropriate topics as I progress with the translation and replace it with a more general introduction, if that's OK with you. I'd also like to add a brief history of the national defense, being the most recent part of the military history of Hungary (ideas stolen from the Hungarian article :) ) Umm... is national defense the right expression for "honvédség"? :)
EDIT: I am by no means an expert in the history of Hungary, even less in the English terminology of this topic, but I hope my translation will make a reasonable basis for further improvements.Abesto 12:44, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
