Talk:Belz

message: There are two paragraphs, the second seems to duplicate most of the first such that it sounds ridiculous. Also the second says since the 10th century and the first contradicts and says since the 11th century. Someone fix Zargulon 15:25, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

message: The song "Belz(mein shteteleh Belz)" is about Belz-it is incorrect that it is about Beltz-Moldavia-look at the Belz Yizkoyr book. unsigned
 
The song is about Belz.  Not another town in Moldova. unsigned
the song mein shtetele Belz is certainly about belz-and in no way is pronounced "belts" in the lyrics as the writer claims. Look it up on the internet. unsigned
Despite repeating this opinion -and I really don't like to upset you- you are wrong. The song was originally composed by Bessarabian Alexander Olshanetsky and he wrote it for Isa Kremer, born 1887 in Beltz, Bessarabia. Please have a look here:  --Gf1961 15:14, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

message: The article on Nissan Spivak (listed here under notable people) has him born in 'Bălţi' (Бельцы/Beljcy, also known in Yiddish as 'Beltz'), Moldova (Bessarabia), not in this Belz, Ukraine.
Does anyone know for sure?  .John M Brear (talk) 16:15, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I've just done a search through various sources, but most of them are mirror sites. He's listed as one or the other, with no sources to verify which it was. To further complicate matters, both names he appears under are adopted names. In Slavic languages, Spivak literally means 'Singer', while 'Nisye Beltzer' is... well, also self-evident. The only thing any of the sources agree on is his later postings as a cantor and, frankly, these don't assist in narrowing his place of birth down. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 01:06, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

message: Bălţi is the plural form of baltă in Romanian, it means puddle. https://translate.google.com/#ro/en/B%C4%83l%C5%A3%C4%83
The word's origin seems to be Albanian, which would rather pinpoint the origins of the word being ancient Balkanic(Thracian/Dacian/Illyrian). http://dexonline.ro/definitie/balta 
Furthermore, the city of Bălţi, in Rep. Moldova has nothing to do with Celts, which never lived there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C4%83l%C8%9Bi#Name  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mike88n (talk • contribs) 22:25, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
