message: Should an image of Machu Picchu really be included in the article? It's 70 km away, after all, and I think including it would exacerbate the tendency of most to equate the two. Brutannica 02:23, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a close call, but it's way down low, and the caption notes the distance. Still, if it bugs you, remove it and see if anybody objects. - DavidWBrooks 02:54, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  People of Cusco 

message: I just came to this article from the article on the Inca empire which states -
"There were many local forms of worship, but the Inca leadership encouraged the worship of the Pachamama, or Mother Earth. Because the sun was very important in Inca mythology, there is a common misbelief that the foremost god was the Inti or sun god."
while this article states -
"The historic capital of the sun-worshipping Inca empire..."
So what's the real deal does anyone know? Becuase both of these articles can't be right. Arch NME 20:19, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

message: The horizontal photo just placed atop the article is good, but needs to be moved down - but the infobox is screwed up somehow (it's too wide) which makes it hard. There might be too many big photos in this article as it is. - DavidWBrooks 12:36, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The altitude for Cusco is listed as 3310 meters, 10261 feet.  These numbers don't convert, but I am not sure which (or both) should be corrected.  One guidebook I saw listed 3399 meters.  Someone with better knowledge or data, please correct.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.87.1.172 (talk) 18:44, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

message: The section about the soccer team seems a little unneccassary and unverified. Unless someone thinks that it should stay in this article, or be researched and expanded, I plan on deleting it.

message: Shouldn't the article say something about the bigtime events of the Spanish era history of Cuzco? Such as the siege of Cuzco in the 1530's by the Inca Manco II, in which 80 Spaniards and a couple-three hundred of their Indian auxiliaries successfully defended the city against an Inca army of 50,000? Or about the revolt of Tupac Amaru II in 1781, in which Cuzco was again vainly besieged by Indian rebels? Tom129.93.17.213 (talk) 02:59, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Two infoboxes are too many - they make a long, hard-to-read gutter and swamp the article. I think the UNESCO infobox is unnecessary - it adds very little that isn't in the text - and would like to kill it. Any objections? - DavidWBrooks (talk) 20:12, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Nobody objected, so now that the requested move  debate is over, I've removed it,m to judge the reaction. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 23:36, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

message: No consensus No apparent consensus on the talk page, RSs don't seem to favor one spelling over the other by a large enough margin to warrant moving the page. Parsecboy (talk) 02:56, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Google counts are a crummy way to determine anything. I think the article does an excellent job of discussing the spelling issue and shows that there is no correct way to spell it. We could move the article back and forth between Z and S for the next decade, making reasonable arguments each time. The other spelling directs to this one automatically, so it's not like anybody can't find the article. In other words, I think it's unnecessary. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 14:50, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The CIA and other U.S. government sources use "S"  - more "official" than a private encyclopedia, for what that's worth. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 22:39, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: A useful caveat. "Private" encyclopedias are more likely to reflect the English language; the State Department is more likely to reflect the preferences of the Peruvian government. Which is a better guide to serving our readers? Septentrionalis PMAnderson 14:53, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

text: What about Cusco Region and Cusco Province and Kingdom of Cusco? (This is why I don't support the move - it's not wrong, but it's not particularly right either because of the near-split in spelling, and it will require a lot of shifting around without accomplishing anything useful.) - DavidWBrooks (talk) 14:15, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There is no need to change them also. Johnbod (talk) 14:32, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That I *would* object to - it would be ridiculous to have the city with one spelling and other references with another spelling. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 15:50, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Not at all, if the others don't have common English spellings. There are many similar situations, from S.S.C. Napoli on. Johnbod (talk) 16:01, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

message: As per discussions in the Talk section, and the fact that in the Oxford and Merriam Webster dictionaries as well as the WHC the city is called Cuzco in English, thus I'm moving this page to Cuzco to represent how it's spelled in the english language. 190.70.36.222 (talk) 21:41, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I assume you're joking, but just in case - don't move it without requesting a move and having a discussion. Here's my vote: Don't. -DavidWBrooks (talk) 11:01, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  There have already been several votes. Move won. Cuzco is the name in English. Same idea as Munich being listed under Munich and not München, Vienna and not Wien, or Florence in the place of Firenze. But that's irrelevant. Vote has happened, change won. 181.59.105.129 (talk) 20:34, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Again, assuming you're not joking, Cuzco is not the name in English - both Cusco and Cuzco are used in legitimate English-language sources and have been for years. This is all covered in past votes/discussions. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 00:40, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

message: Since the Spanish spelling(s) are the same as the English spelling(s), I have removed them from the introductory sentence. Phonetics and language alternatives make sentences very hard to read and should be kept to a minimum.

message: What exactly is Qosqo?  The article makes it sound as if it was the official spelling (where it's mentioned), but if you go to the official city website, it's Cusco. Esszet (talk) 22:48, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: It's the name of Qosqo in Quechua, a native language. It was Cusco's original name. Erinius (talk) 09:29, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, the article says that - but Esszet is correct that we have no source saying it's the "official" spelling. Official by who, when, where? - DavidWBrooks (talk) 14:14, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
