Talk:La Franja

message: In my opinion, will be a more correct and neutral POV the title La Franja, without any implication of catalan or aragonese vision. Neither western or eastern.

thread_title: Title

message: Catalan has official status in Spain, so I wouldn´t say Catalan does not currently have an official status in La Franja. I would propose the following rewording, but it doesn´t solve this problem:
:"As this territory is not part of the autonomous community of Catalonia, Catalan does not currently have an official status in it."
:: As you know, Catalan is not only spoken in Catalonia. I have tried a different re-writing. Toniher 18:03, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: "Catalan has official status in Spain, so I wouldn´t say Catalan does not currently have an official status in La Franja." <<-- This is simply an act of POISONING wikipedia. It is the most biased, false, unaccurate and even dangerous comment I've seen ever! Catalan and Valencian are official in Catalonia, Balears and Valencia. NOWHERE ELSE IN SPAIN!!!

thread_title: Status of Catalan

message: This table, which includes the following subdivisions: (History of Catalonia · Counts of Barcelona · Treaty of the Pyrenees · Catalan constitutions · Generalitat de Catalunya · Generalitat Valenciana · Govern de les Illes Balears · Consell General de les Valls (Andorra) · Politics of Catalonia · Catalan nationalism) among others, has nothing to do in an aragonese territory wikipage. For this reason, I am erasing it.
For the catalan speaking explanation inside the table, I believe it is already correctly explained in the normal text    Maurice27 20:15, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  The Catalan-speaking territories Table 

message: User:Toniher is constantly reverting my contrubutions and accusing me of Vandalism... Maybe this morning the Franja de Aragon has suddenly become part of Catalonia and I'm unaware of that fact. Meanwhile IT IS STILL SOIL OF THE AUTONOMOUS COMMUNITY OF ARAGON and this article should say it so. Nobody is going to include a template with the "comarques of Catalonia" or a table with "History of Catalonia, Catalan constitutions, Generalitat de Catalunya" facts in a non-catalonian wikipage.
I will not... I repeat, I will not tolerate this pro-catalan acting towards my own mother's country!!!
This said, I would like to kindly ask all the contributors which feel the "urgent need" to fool and fill the Wikipedia world with Pan-Catalanism, Catalan Countries wannabe, Catalan nationalism and just plain false pseudo-Catalan History to restraint themselves from doing it. Not all the surrounding lands to Catalonia feel the need to become part of it, and the english Wikipedia will not become a highway to "export" their history "a la carte". Giving for right the fact that we should not generalize, I often wonders if these people suffer from the well-known "Catalan Small Penis Syndrome" (Are we allowed to say "penis"?)

thread_title:  Vandalism by [[User:Toniher]] 

message: La Franja is the territory with a highest ratio of native Catalan-speaking people in the world, that is a 90% of population.
How can somebody say that there's any relation between La Franja and Counts of Barceloona or History of Catalaonia? This i simply Catalan-negationism. Pere M Mollet(Talk) 11:29, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Because it does not!. It is related with the Crown of Aragon, not with Catalonia.  Maurice27 14:38, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: May I hazard to suggest that you are both right? The original status came from the Marca Hispanica, whereas the current boundaries date from the provincial delimitations of the nineteenth century: neither represents linguistic fronteers, even at the time when they were made. Still, I should point out that the Counts of Barcelona have also been Kings of Aragon since 1137, whatever the real extent of the territory which they actually controlled. Physchim62 (talk) 15:06, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Simply read one of the external links. Along history, part of the territories presently known as La Franja moved from/to Aragon or Principality of Catalonia jurisdiction. So, both Catalonia and Aragon usually claim it based on historical terms. Toniher 15:24, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Isn't La Franja a Catalan-speaking territory?

message: why does it say "or La Francha de Ponent (Catalan for Western Strip)" in the first line? its only called Franja in Catalan not Francha ('ch' doesn't exist in Catalan!) Jonny1047 11:23, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Name???

message: La Franja → Franja de Ponent
Most common name used in English for the region and is not coincidentally the title of the Catalan article.  —  AjaxSmack    07:42, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

message: The article 'Franja de Aragón' in spanish wikipedia is very complete and different from this one
In view of this I have started translating the Spanish article. While translating it is hard to get out of the mindset of the language so please feel free to improve the English and make it flow a bit better. Hopefully the translation of the Spanish version, once finished can be the basis for a more comprehensive article on the Franja! Jonny1047 00:48, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Nice work, Jonny! I've gone through it from the perspective of a native (British) English speaker and made a few changes. Have a look and let me know what you think. Among others I've changed the word 'archpriestship' to 'deanery' - a term that's used in both Catholic and Anglican contexts in Britain. Alec.brady 12:21, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: SPANISH VERSION

message: I don't think there is any need for there to be a map of the unrecognised Catalan Countries at the very start of this article.  Nor is it appropriate to have a flag of these same 'countries' in the text.  I will remove the map and the flag immediately.  If anybody wishes to add the map to a section which deals with the Catalan claims to the territory, this would be more appropriate.  As for the flag, it is not pertinent in the slightest to this article.  Blah554 (talk) 18:35, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
