Not only Saxons had fortified churches[edit]

The first paragraph states: "... are former Saxon villages located in Southern Transylvania".

There are some fortified churches in the Hungarian regions, too, especially in the areas that were often attacked by Turks, or Tatars.

  • I either suggest to change the Article title to "Saxonian villages with fortified churces in Transylvania", and follow this definition in the text too,
  • or to change the sentence in the first paragraph to "... are mostly Saxon villages ..."

The Unesco site says:
The seven villages inscribed, founded by the Transylvanian Saxons" [1]

Yes but they mean the Saxonian fortified churches. To avoid the title being misleading, it could be modified to what I suggested, or to "Villages with fortified churches in Transylvania, inscribed by the Unesco", or this could be explained in the first paragraph if you don't want the title being too long. Belive me, there are nice Hungarian fortified churches, too, however, I agree that the Saxonian ones are the most beautiful --KIDB 17:17, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I moved it to "Saxon villages with fortified churches in Transylvania". Now the title is more clear. bogdan 21:30, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

By the way this is a non-Saxonian church for you: [2] --KIDB 15:15, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

UNESCO name?[edit]

What's the point of having listing the UNESCO name along with every village's real name, if both names are exactly the same? -71.107.254.174 00:13, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
