Talk:Pitsunda

message: In wikipedia surfing today (Pitsunda might have the tomb of St. John Chrysostom, whose feast day in some Christian denominations is tomorrow), I came across this article with ugly broken links and markup in the navbox on the right side. I don't know how to correct them, and it seems a couple involve files someone might've forgotten to upload. From this talk page and the viewhistory, it seems this wikipedia entry continues as subject of a quasi-political editing war (outside the talk page), seemingly to its detriment. I don't want to get involved in the political and geographical controversy, even if the saint was no stranger to political conflicts, which led to his exile and death nearly two millennia ago. I find this wikipedia entry particularly sad because it doesn't explain and barely contains links to the area's rich history long before the current problems between Georgia and Abkhazia (both of which wikigroups presumably monitor it). Frankly, I'd like to know if the town's name derives from the region's pine trees or hornbeams, as in an edit someone reversed (probably because it also had markup errors and political stuff). Even going to google maps on the coordinates specified, I find a nearby link to Sochi National Park (apparently Russia's first) well into the Black Sea (although the linked wikipedia article mentions its forests).

thread_title: Box errors

message: For the time being I have removed everything controversial from the infobox. I still do not agree with the changes made by the anonymous editor because they were done without a discussion and as a result the infobox became inconsistent with all other infoboxes in articles about Abkhazian settlements.

thread_title:  Infobox 

message: User , what kind of argument is this "the name is foreign, not used in Pitsunda at all" ?! It can't be serious lol. Name "Georgia" is not used in Georgia (Sakartvelo) at all but other English speaking world call this country as Georgia. Bichvinta is very popular name for this settlement see this sources from Google books ►, , , , , , , , . So ... --g. balaxaZe★ 12:50, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: A note to all parties bickering over details in this article: this is English Wikipedia, therefore the English WP:COMMONNAME is overrides any other personal preferences. Per ngram for corpus English, Pitsunda is undoubtedly the primary naming convention. Bichvinta, however, also appears more recently, therefore could also be represented as secondary. I have removed it from the conventional name in the infobox and retained it as 'other name'. The fact that both names feature in the lead makes it amply evident that another naming convention exists. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 00:07, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bichvinta ! 

message: I would ask that everyone developing this article use this talk page for discussion and consensus. Lengthy, argumentative edit summaries such as these, and these while edit warring are not a substitute for discussion and consensus on the talk page before making changes. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 00:31, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Another bout of edit warring 

message: Is there any evidence that there is any Kartvelian association with Colchis? Georgian itself is a word invented long after the name Colchis for a land far East.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.172.99.189 (talk) 19:05, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: See Colchis, the disambiguation page for Kartvelian, and Proto-Kartvelian language. Other than that, I'm not certain as to what your point is. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 05:02, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
