Sanjak of Kruševac

(

... that the Turkish name of the Sanjak of Kruševac means "multicolored castle"?

New, long enough, referenced, hook supported. I however think that "colorful city", "town" or "fortress" are more appropriate translations of Alacahisar (Шарен град), and I would omit "the Sanjak of" from the hook. Other than that, It's good to go!--Zoupan 01:57, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your help and good suggestion.

ALT1 it is. Good to go!--Zoupan 21:37, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

The hook was moved to Prep 1 and then edited, making it incorrect: [1]. Perhaps a clearer hook (less ambiguity) can be proposed? Something like:

ALT2:*... that Alacahisar, the Turkish name for the Sanjak of Kruševac, means "colorful town"?

I use Alacahisar in one word, because of tr:Alacahisar. Fram (talk) 10:56, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

I checked at GoogleBooks search. Two words version is probably ok but one word version is obviously more common (29:9). The Turkish word Alacahisar do not refer to Sanjak of Kruševac as colorful town but only to Kruševac. Therefore maybe Alt1 with piped link is more appropriate than Alt2? --Antidiskriminator (talk) 13:17, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Yes, that is what I had in mind.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 15:34, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
