message: Donostia is basque language and San Sebastián is spansih, so the correct use of the template is to put Donostia in the "native name" field and San Sebastián in the "spanish name" field. Besides, the box renders better using the fields correctly, the former Donostia-San Sebastián thing was too wide, it destroyed the layout of the infobox. David 12:18, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm fairly certain the map is wrong - San Sebastian is a lot closer to the French Border. The red dot on the map seems to be Santander. 86.128.38.60 18:49, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

*Support a move to San Sebastián per nomination (except for the Google test).  Donostia-San Sebastián, the official name, is a possibility albeit a hideous one. —  AjaxSmack    05:15, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Comment - yes, that could work, but San Sebastián, without Donostia, is the common name in English. Biruitorul 16:17, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Comment - well, I don't think the accent is such a big deal. For instance most English speakers probably refer to "Orleans", but they readily grasp it's the same thing as Orléans. There's no way to tell from the words themselves that Donostia and San Sebastián are the same, but San Sebastián and San Sebastian are basically the same, plus the former is correct in Spanish. However, I wouldn't strongly object to its omission. Biruitorul 16:17, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Well, we can say that the hyphenated form is the form used by toponymists at the UNGEGN. Since we're supposed to give more weight to what the experts do, it makes sense to look at them. More generally, it makes sense to look at what people do when they are very well informed and are making an effort to be perceived as neutral. It seems plausible that in those cases Donostia–San Sebastián is most common. You can do a search for +UNGEGN +"San Sebastian" and +UNGEGN +Donostia. There's an example in Estonian too. As has been mentioned previously, it's the official name. Even in Spanish you'll see Donostia–San Sebastián. This official list of mayors in Spain  (written in Spanish) says, "See Donostia–San Sebastián," at the entry for "San Sebastián". Joeldl 19:23, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: WP:NCGN says "The title: When a widely accepted English name, in a modern context, exists for a place, we should use it." That's all we need to know. Johnbod 22:58, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Precisely. No offense, Joeld, but when I saw reference to UNGEGN, my eyes began to glaze over. What concerns us here is common English usage. Biruitorul 06:54, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

text: Indeed, I had never I think heard of Odorheiu Secuiesc under any name though I know both Romania & Hungary a lot better than most English-speakers.  I notice the official town tourism website uses "San Sebastian", only, and without the accent, in the English version. "Saint Sébatien-Donostia" in the French, etc.  Johnbod 07:36, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I recall being told that "San Sebastian has the greatest density of bars in the world, much like Hong Kong has the greatest density of restaurants" and it seems plausible, but I don't know if that's either correct, nor how it would be measured (by area/population ?). No idea where you might find a reference to confirm it, but I thought I'd mention it. EdwardLane (talk) 10:19, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

message: Hi Oshwah, Iñaki LL, Kgfleischmann, you have all reverted Anon User:80.246.136.72 (and before that other anon IPs) bizarrely removing the same seemingly-uncontroversial information over and over, without engaging in any explanation or discussion.

thread_title:  Repeated removal of sourced information 

message: I think the list is too long and poorly defined: Who counts as "notable"? (the mother of a former president of Mexico? a porn star?) What relation to San Sebastian is needed (born there? lived major part of life there? did major work there?) Don't Juan Mari Arzak, Daniel Innerarity, Pedro Miguel Echenique belong on the list? Do bands belong on a list of "people"?
Should one structure the list according to field within which the persons were/are notable (sport/science/politics/literature/...)?  
Wouldn't it make sense to limit the list here to the, say, the 20 most notable ones and create a List of people from San Sebastián for the complete listing? --Qcomp (talk) 16:24, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

replies: text: I've added the stress mark to the Basque IPA page, should resolve the issue. But seriously ... Akerbeltz (talk) 11:19, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: It does not resolve the issue. Per MOS:PRON, section Other languages, you have not gone through all of the relevant Basque transcriptions and added the stress marks there, so now the situation is even worse than it was. I've created a discussion on Help talk:IPA/Basque#Stress mark. Sol505000 (talk) 14:04, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: This is a non-issue you have created, you have started removing relevant information based on some legalistic interpretation of the MOS and you're expecting other people to pick up the pieces. Nice try. Akerbeltz (talk) 11:48, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: There's a discussion waiting for you on Help talk:IPA/Basque. Your manipulative interpretation of me citing MOS:PRON is not going to make the issue go away. And the issue is: transcriptions linking to Help:IPA/Basque have to agree with the guide and vice versa. You don't get to change 3 transcriptions, then the guide and pretend everything's fine. We have far more than 3 IPA transcriptions of Basque that link to the guide on WP. I strongly suggest that you start engaging with me on Help talk:IPA/Basque#Stress mark.
