Talk:Maritime republics

message: Obviously this article should use whatever name is commonly used in English-language history books. I would guess that it would not be Repubbliche Marinare. (My limited bookshelves have failed in this instance.) In the absence of an existing term we should invent one: perhaps ‘Maritime Republics of Italy and Dalmatia’, though it’s a bit clumsy. If any decently sourced proposal to move the page is made, please copy the following into it:

message: Are you sure all the rest of Europe was actually subjected to either the Empire or the Catholic Church ? I think for example of England, France, Sweden, Russia... and even Spain, Portugal or Hungary were quite free from them ! 150.237.47.3 13:37, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Subject to Holy Roman Empire or Catholic Church

message: The pleasure is bilaterally, but your changes are flippant. Dubrovnik was originally not one place, but two, divided by what's now the main street called Stradun. One on the seaward side was called Ragusa, populated by people of Roman origin. On the landward side it was Dubrovnik, populated by Slavs. So, from the beginig of the city the name of Dubrovnik was used, although officiall name was Ragusa, derived from it's historical Greek name. The treaty with Bosnian Ban Kulin in 12th century is the first official document where the city is referred to as Dubrovnik (on paper). 
:Here are some references for you to see (note that I didn't put any Croatian sources):
* Francis W. Carter: Dubrovnik (Ragusa): a classic city-state, p.45
* Peter F. Sugar: Southeastern Europe under Ottoman rule: 1354 - 1804, p.171
* Piers Letcher,Robin McKelvie,Jenny McKelvie: Dubrovnik, 2nd: The Bradt City Guide, p.3
:But all this is not an isue here. The consensus on wikipedia is that the city itself is called Dubrovnik, and the republic is called Republic of Ragusa. If you don't think this is correct, you can ask on the article talk page for moving the name from Dubrovnik to Ragusa. Until than I must ask you to stick to this consensus, and not to change Dubrovnik to Ragusa. 
:If this explanation is not sufficient, please chose where you want to continue the discussion. It is silly to write the same message on six different places on wiki. Regards, Kebeta (talk) 09:26, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

message: According to this wiki, Dubrovnik was the first city to have one, but if you click on the link to Lazaretto, it says Venice was the first in 1403.  Which is correct?  Should it be changed to say 'among the first to have...'?
