Talk:Zaragoza

message: I believe that the name Saragossa comes from the fact that the city is called Saragossa in Aragonese (and in Catalan too).  I'm not terribly concerned about which one is ultimatley chosen, but I bristle at the use of the troubling adverb "formerly" in the article as it stands now.  alternatively, perhaps?  I would also suggest taking out the qualifying phrase "in English." Blondlieut 14:33, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name in Aragonese 

message: Is Zaragoza, Spain, a compromise solution reached during last year's move wars? Either Zaragoza or Saragossa would be closer to policy, so I'm assuming that's the reason. –Hajor 15:39, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: I removed this because
*It didn't belong above the disambiguation link
*It makes an inaccurate statement that is not supported by citation
As far as I have been able to research, the American School of Warsaw is in Warsaw, Poland, not in Spain.  Branches of the American School can be found all over the planet.  The HQ is in Washington, DC.  There may be an American School in Zaragoza, but I have not been able to determine this.  If I have removed the line in error, please replace.  But note that it belongs in the "Places of interest" section, NOT at the top before the disambiguation link.  The presence of an American School is not the most important factoid about Zaragoza.

message: The demography graph is bad. First it gives ten year intervals, then one year, which gives a distorted image. It should be only deceniia, or if data lacks, the 19x1 year. Also the image is a wee bit large. --145.99.202.93 21:43, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Demography Graph 

message: From the city in other languages section: Muslim: Sarakusta; Proto-Latin: Salduba.  What the heck is Proto-Latin?  It doesn't show up on either the Latin page or the History of Latin page.  Sure, there's the PIE, but that's a different kettle of fish.  Also, "Muslim?"  Muslim isn't a language- does this mean that the Muslims called the city a different name prior to the Reconquista?  In other words, is this a political difference (in which case there should be more details), or a language difference (in which case a more specific language should be used, like Arabic)?
Also, the Zaragoza vs. Saragossa debate should probably be covered in this article somewhere (as noted on the talk page above).  Regardless, they're both common names used and should both be bolded as per lead guidelines. SnowFire 06:01, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Why is there a large box at the bottom listing pre-spanish rulers? Yet the ancient history, pre-moslem conquest is almost totally empty.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.235.215.119 (talk) 23:30, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Explain 

message: I've seen the city being referred to as Mañolandia in a few places (, ). Is this a usual nickname? Is it derogatory? What does it mean? Would it be worth mentioning/explaining in the article? Thanks in advance! --LodeRunner (talk) 15:59, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Maño is a nickname for Aragonese people in general, not just for Zaragoza. Mañolandia must be a recent word coinage, I don't know if it refers to Zaragoza or all of Aragón, in any case it's not common and I perceive it as slightly derogatory. --Jotamar (talk) 00:19, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the explanation! --LodeRunner (talk) 04:08, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Hello! Can you, please, help with my desperate need to get images of former Jewish quarter () in Saragossa usable in Wiki? I need it for :ru:Крескас, Хасдай = :es:Hasdai Crescas. Great thanks! --lkitross (talk) 13:29, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Jewish quarter [[:en:Saragossa]] images 

message: thumb|100pxHello! In the Art Museum of Saragossa there is a painting "Saint Helena interrogates Judas, a Jew", here is a fragment: :File:JewInterrogation.JPG. I read about it originally in REPRESENTACIONES PICTÓRICAS DE LOS JUDÍOS EN ARAGÓN, SIGLOS XIII AL XV. By MARÍA DEL CARMEN LACARRA DUCAY. Universidad de Zaragoza. Can you see from the article or from another source, if the painter's name is known, who was it and when approximately worked? All this since you mention this museum! Great thanks! --lkitross (talk) 13:37, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

message: In the early 2000's when I visited Zaragoza to talk about Vietnam Business opportunities at the invitation of the Zaragoza Chamber of Industry and as Lebrero Rollers Vietnam agent they told me some still speak Gaelic as a left over of the Gael's influences there and the Iberian Peninsula, but I find no reference here. Someone who knows the answers could provide such detail to clarify the matter please.--111.91.234.188 (talk) 05:05, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: You are probably confusing it with the Aragonese language, which is Romance and not Celtic. --Jotamar (talk) 20:58, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
