Talk:Capri

message: I was recently travelling in Positano, and while I was there I took a day trip to Capri.  Both on the trip over and while in Capri it was my impression that there were a lot of poeple getting to Capri from Positano.  It seemed like that was a really common thing for people visiting Positano to take a day trip to Capri.  So, I thought it would be worth mentioning in the Capri article that it's a common thing for people to get there from Positano.  What do others think about adding this comment to this article?  solaro 17:25, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: If you're going to include boat service from Positano, you should also include boat service from Amalfi, Ischia, and Salerno.  I don't see the point of including all of them.  Wikipedia is not a tour guidethough pointing to tour guides wouldn't be out of place. --Macrakis 21:09, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

message: There is an obvious error in this section:
In the latter half of the 19th century, Capri became a popular resort for European artists, writers and other celebrities. John Singer Sargent and Frank Hyde are among the prominent artists who stayed on the island around the late 1870s
Clicking on the link to Frank Hyde takes you to the English Rugby player, born in the early 1900s. There is no Wikipedia page for the British artist of the same name.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.120.196.222 (talk) 22:36, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I have requested a citation for the statement that fishermen´s sons were ´´usually available´´ - I also question the relevance of including Peyrefitte´s fiction as a source for speculation about local people´s opinions. Saying that this fiction was ´´carefully researched´´ is merely POV and does not substantiate it as truth. Unless there is strong justification for the relevance of these passages, I will edit them accordingly. They seem out of place in the context of the article. --Smerus 17:36, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

message: OUAT I read something to the effect that the common (mis)pronunciation of "Capri" with the stress on the second syllable comes from a popular song, which stresses it this way to fit the rhythm.  Can anybody tell me which song this is?Smjg 00:55, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: "Isle of Capri," music by Wilhelm Grosz, words by Jimmy Kennedy.  The song dates from 1934.  I don't know if that's where the mispronunciation originated, but if not it certainly helped it in its career.  The song begins, "'Twas on the Isle of Capri that I found her."

message: The article claims that the name "Capri" is derived from the Greek "kapros," not the Latin "capreae," and even providing a citation. However, the cited site states the reverse. Am I missing something here? The313cleaner (talk) 08:17, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, that's weird. Of course we should cite a book here anyway, not a web site. Looking through Google Book Search, it seems to me that the matter is undecided, so I will update the introduction to reflect that. --Morn (talk) 13:51, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wrong etymology? 

message: Good morning
I think the correct translation (ITA->ENG) for "Blue Grotto" name is "Azure Grotto".
Indeed the Italian name is "Grotta Azzurra" where Azzurra is the color Azure in english,
just a explanation.

replies: text: Still, it's called the Blue Grotto in English and Blaue Grotte in German, so that's what Wikipedia calls it too. --Morn (talk) 13:03, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
