thread_title:  ''Complutum?'' 

message: I added a major section to the article with information about the Cathedral located in the city. The section consists entirely of information from the Spanish-language Wikipedia article "Catedral de los Santos Niños Justo y Pastor de Alcalá de Henares." I indicated this in a footnote to the title of the section, but I'm not sure if this is the customary or correct place to include the source of the information. The Spanish-language article did not provide citations, so I can only vouch for the accuracy of the translation, not the information. Any additional research or cites would be appreciated. I also moved a paragraph about the university from the "History" to the "University" section of the article and edited it for clarity. Any feedback is welcomed.

message: I studied at the University as well and this article would be enhanced by a section about the storks.  The Spanish article has a section on the and I would like to add one including at least one of my personal pictures of the stork nests.  However, I'm new and I'm not quite brave enough to edit and add a new sectionJK5862 (talk) 09:05, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Image copyright problem with File:LogoUAH.png

message: I suggest that the picture in the infobox should be changed. It is true that in Wikimedia commons there are no pics with a skyline of the city, but the picture shown is just the street for accessing the railway station... it was made from a few meters over the ground, but that doesn't convert it in a skyline... and it is less representative than other pics. 
If you see the city from far away, the skyline shows you a center with a lot (really, a lot) of towers, belfries and campanilles surounded by massive residential buildings (from the infamous 70's). That image is not available, but the one that fits the most (for me) could be File:Alcala_de_henares_plaza_cervantes.JPG, which at least shows a few of the towers that makes recognizable the skyline of the city.
Really, what is now publised is the same as in the infobox of London you just put a picture of Euston Road taken from St. Pancrass station... it is London, of course, but it is not the picture to be first shown in a encyclopedia. --84.197.104.134 (talk) 00:52, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
