Talk:Ulcinj

message: Is the proper Albanian name Ulqin or Ulqini? I happen to have a wall clock I got in Ulcinj which says "Ulqini" on it. --dcabrilo 08:21, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: This is no place for nationalist pushing opinions. The official name is that way as you said, I did not say it is not. But the Albanian name must be put as it is the case with many cities with mixed population. And oh, Ulcinj has more than 80% Albanians. How about some respect for them? No need to call me crazy, that is a personal attack. Regards,ilir_pz 11:02, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

text: "Official language of area X" however it's defined, is not binding to Wikipedia. It's a common practice to list all the sensible alternate names, which normally include the name(s) given by the city's inhabitants. See also Subotica or Nakhichevan. Duja 08:54, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

text: Historical names, names used by a significant minority (or in this case, majority) of the city's population or names prominently used by neighbouring country's language should be used in the article.  Therefore cities like Szczecin, Poland will also used the German name because of the city's history even though barely 1% of the city nowadays are German.  The article on Trieste used 'Trst' because of the city's history and because a large minority of the population are Slovene or Croat.  Similarly the German and Hungarian names are also used for historical reasons.  Ulcinj is how it may be written on a map but the vast majority of the city use a different name--109.228.78.185 (talk) 16:39, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

message: It says : "However, Ulcinj/Ulqini has well been known as Dulcigno in the past, the Italian and Spanish name for this town. Obviously the most similar to both Slavic 'Ulcinj' and Albanian 'Ulqini' is precisely the word Dulcigno, so it might as well be the case that both Ulcinj and Ulqini might in fact derive from this particular Italian and/or Spanish word (Dulcigno). In Spanish, 'dulce' means 'sweet', which does fit into the description of this little town."
Can someone provide a reliable source that supports this claim, please?Actually it looks more as Original Research.Rolandi+ (talk) 09:58, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

text: No, of course, readding Malcolm does not make it neutral. Please try to do it better.--Zoupan 12:07, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

text: You are taking quotes out of context. This relates to the historiographical approach by Malcolm in dealing with Bosnia's and Kosovo's history. Instead of praising him, find better sources regarding the matter. Malcolm is not a linguist. I found out that earlier it was Eqrem Çabej who theorized this. --Zoupan 13:37, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

text: Either you add a reference that includes a linguistical study or you don't.--Zoupan 17:31, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
