Readd Hungarian to native names

I added the Hungarian name for Vojvodina (Vajdaság), but it was removed under the pretext of it "not being a native name". I don't understand as Hungarians constitute the largest ethnic minority in Serbia, at around 2.8% of the country, and in Vojvodina constitute about 10.5-10.6% of it's population, not to mention the lands of modern Vojvodina were largely under Hungarian rule for several hundred years until early 1919, and Hungarian culture is still very strong there. Why then was it removed? Please provide an explanation as to why it isn't a native name when Serbia had not owned territories in Vojvodina(for long periods of time) for about 6 centuries until 1918-1919. Thank you for your time. CrazyFruitBat911 (talk) 20:37, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Because Vojvodina is part of Serbia, not Hungary, the majority of population which lives there is Serbian, the culture there is Serbian, the name also came from the Serbs who inhabited that region for the last 500 years, meaning Duchy-Vojvodstvo, if we are to follow the logic of the past times, then we should add Serbian names to a number of Hungarian cities which had Serbian majority in the past. Also what is the most important part, all the official names of Vojvodina are already present in the name section where it belongs, including Hungarian name, and since there are several official languages in Vojvodina, posting Hungarian name in front of other names gives wp:undue Theonewithreason (talk) 20:45, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah right I didn't see that thanks for the clarification I meant purely since they were the largest ethnic minority in the region. CrazyFruitBat911 (talk) 21:02, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
