message: What's the source for the bit of info about Pontius Pilate? It seems like folklore to me; certainly en:Pontius Pilate says nothing about Pilate's birthplace. --Lektu 21:26, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Accordingly my encyclopaediciabritannictic and oxfordreferenceatic sources, birthplace of Pontius Pilatus is not known. I removed chances made by 80.58.36.42. Readd if necessary. --Mikko Paananen 01:49, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

message: One of my flickr contacts has uploaded a large number of free use images from Tarragona in 2008. You can find the set here to see if anything is interesting. You can let him know that Royalbroil sent you if you want. Royalbroil 00:56, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

message: It strikes me as unusual that the history of Tarragona should lurch from about 27BC to the present day without a moment's hesitation. Not being Catalan myself I wouldn't care to venture into the minefield, but it would seem appropriate to mention the sacking by the Franks at the end of the 3rd Century AD; the lying in ruins, unoccupied, for a number of centuries; the rise of Tarragona's fortunes after 1714 when the British failed to help rescue the city from the Sapnish and French then to overtake Reus as the prime City in the local community; attempts by Napoleon's men to blow the place up in front of the advancing British and Spanish armies at the beginning of the 19th century; Bombing raids on Tarragona by Italian fascist aircraft during the Civil War and so on.
Is it also not true that the circus was built for Trajan, who also visited, and not for Augustus?

message: This article needs urgently an  improvement. Surprisingly, Tarragona seems not to have demographics trends, no economic live, no industry, no transport (Port of Tarragona?, oops, it may be a fake, no schools, no university. Tarragona has only a bit of History (the ancient one), but has much of eating, drinking and so...VIVA LA FIESTA!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.77.175.195 (talk) 22:04, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

message: Some words like "Catalonian" (the correct being Catalan) or info like considering ancient or roman remains the wall gates are just wrong because i.e the Portal del Roser and the Portal de Sant Antoni are medieval and 18th century made respectively. I also changed some names of places like squares or streets that were written in spanish due that the origininal, official and used names are in catalan. i.e. Plaza del Forum is a translation of the catalan "Plaça del Fòrum" slightly differently written but having different pronunciation. I also noted there's a lot of stuff of the city to be listed in this wiki that can be translated from the catalan wikipedia so I'm probably going to add it in a near future.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.83.163.180 (talk) 12:08, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

message: For consistency, all climatic data should be provided by AEMET, the official national meteorological agency, otherwise we get ridiculous climatic data such as Barcelona appearing as warmer than Valencia which is 400 km further south and is significantly warmer than Barcelona.Gaditano23 (talk) 10:57, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: Ensuring homogenized climate data for all Spanish cities

message: In the History/Origins paragraph, I have just deleted the following sentences, alleging that Tarragona has no real port today: "This more accurately reflects its present condition; despite a mole being constructed in the 15th century with the materials of the ancient amphitheatre, and another subsequently by an Irishman named John Smith Sinnot, it affords little shipping protection." Perhaps this sentence was meant to be in the past tense, but as it is, it's wrong. - As a reference for today's importance of the port, I have added a RS in the section on modern Tarragona.
