Why do you think Slovenia is alternatively placed in Southeastern Europe, if only 25% of it actually lies on the Balkans/Southeastern Europe and is historically and culturally closer to Austria than countries like Serbia and southern part of Croatia.I think Slovenia shoud be placed next to states like Austria, Slovakia, Czech Republic,etc. and not in the section "other countries and regions".

Slovenia is also part of Alpain countries which together with the countries of Visegrad group, form Central Europe Europan guy (talk) 14:41, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
Hello, about the source. One of the sources is a map, and that map is not a map of Slovenia. It's a map of Serbia, which doesn't have anything to do with Slovenia Europan guy (talk) 00:43, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
After having seen the two edits today, this removal with this revert, I have taken a closer look at the paragraph in question. It was added in November through two consecutive edits by an IP editor, citing what at first seems to look like adequate sources. The problem is that those sources do not really support the analysis in the added text. Multiculturalism and nationalism are briefly mentioned in a couple of the sources, communism is not, and there is really no way these sources support a broad overall view of Central Europe through the centuries as the added text indicates. This is clearly original research and synthesis. I am sure it is possible to elaborate on this in the "History" section of the article, but it will have to be done with proper inline sourcing, not just by lumping some books/articles into a note. It is possible that some mention may also be suitable in the lede, but per MOS:INTRO only if it is properly presented in the article itself. --T*U (talk) 12:34, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
@[User:NeonFor] Your partly reverted my edit.
"continue to show some socio-economic disparities" is ambiguous and even misleading. This wording suggests disparities between those less developed countries themselves, which is not the intended meaning, and not necessarily true. Those countries are just less developed compared to the other members of the European Union. So I changed the wording for a relevant reason. 85.193.252.19 (talk) 15:47, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Central Europe's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. Feel free to remove this comment after fixing the refs. AnomieBOT⚡ 01:16, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
