he's going to be president just from august officially...
The article begins with László Sólyom (pronounced [ʃoːjom laːsloː]). I don't read Hungarian, but I'd be quite impressed if László really was pronounced [ʃoːjom] (Shaw-yom). IIRC, Hungarian is one of the languages that go surname-givenname, rather than givenname-surname as English usually does. So which is which? Also, when Anglicising Hungarian names, is there a standard order? If so, both listings should be in that order. (They should always be in the same order anyway...)

Is "stuttering letters of the constititution" a quote? If it is, it needs to be so designated. If not, it is a hopelessly POV expression unworthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. Not everyone sees the written letters of a consititution as necessarily being hopelessly "stuttering", many think that it should be attempted to take them fairly literaly and to go with them to the maximum extent possible and practicable rather than to grasp for a hopelessly subjective "spirit" which may be alledged to permeate them.

In fact, "even over the stuttering letters of the constitution" is a quote from a Hungarian article by Gábor Halmai (a doctor of political and legal science, professor of ELTE, editor-in-chief of the legal periodical Fundamentum, director of Human Rights Information and Documentation Center, and chairman of Soros Foundation Committee), which article I found and used (among other sources):

I think the article head suffers from recentism. Something about Sólyom's current political stance could fill the place in better than the part about Szili, esp. regarding that the story of his election (albeit quite interesting) does already have a fairly long passage. 84.1.190.103 21:36, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
I think that this article should be revised and then protected for a while. Because the Hungary-Slovakia conflict could bee this article used for the propaganda of both sides. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.99.5.160 ( talk) 10:55, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

@ ThecentreCZ: I can see we are in a dispute about failure to reference honours. Please WP:PROVEIT. I'd also say a list of honours without giving reasons and is pretty pointless and prose should be used in which case the content would be more meaningful and less distracting on a prose biography page. It is inappropriate to continue at edit war and per WP:EDITWARE I am bringing this to discussion. The appropriate section has been tagged for citations. Thankyou.

Sólyom obtained two honours for his really personal merits: Grand Cross with Star and Sash of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany (1998) and Grand Cross of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Hungary (1999). The honors listed on the page were given to him as president on the occasion of state visits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moldovanyiandras ( talk • contribs) 20:11, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
