Talk:Oran

message: The opening paragraph says the city has 1 million people (source from a tourist guide), but the infobox says it has 683K people. Hypertall (talk) 16:06, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Population

message: On a site about Algerian music there is this quote: "...the music developed in the city centers of Orania, mainly Oran..." Maybe this refers to the province Oran. 
The only wikipedia article on "Orania" is about S Africa. Is there a need for disambiguation?
:There's no Orania in Algeria. Maybe they made a mistake.
::Orania (French: Oranie) is Oran's metropolitan area. --Escondites talk 12:13, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is there an Orania in Algeria? 

message: Being, like most of our readers, illiterate in Arabic, a transliteration of the Arabic name would be appreciated. I believe the Arabic for Oran is Ammi-Moussa, but I'd be very hesitant to add that to the article without confirmation from someone who can confirm. -- Jmabel | Talk 01:32, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Arabic word for Oran is "Wahran" --Escondites talk 12:13, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I think it is an inappropriate comment to talk about whether the British were prepared to go alone against Nazi Germany, in this section. This is about a city, and not political/historical opinion.
This is the text:
"In July 1940, the British Royal Navy shelled French warships in the port after they refused to respond to a British ultimatum designed to ensure they would not fall into German hands. The action sealed the hatred of Vichy France for Britain but convinced the world, especially the United States, of the British will to fight on alone against Nazi Germany and its allies."

message: :Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *Support or *Oppose, then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.
* Oppose - Since there is Oran, India. Please read Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_%28city_names%29#General_rules. If there is conflict with another town, it is a convention to disambiguate. If this move is done, it will set a precedent for others. See Kochi. If population is counted, Kochi, India will get the name, but it is correctly pointing to the disambiguation page.

message: It looks like this is a machine translation of the french article, like the article about Algiers. I think it should be reverted to this  revision, or any similair revision, until we get a "human translation"? --escondites 22:51, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
