thread_title:  Vandalism 

message: Would be nice to be able to see a map that geographically illustrates where this area is with respect to Spain and the Mediterranean.  This was an area of extreme strategic importance during the wars between ancient Rome and Carthage.  I was redirected here after following a link to Carthego Nova, as it was named back then when it was seized by Scipio from Hasdrubal, the brother of Hannibal.  eYeDEF (talk) 05:45, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Map showing Cartagena in Spain

message: It was supposedly called "New Carthage" or "Carthago Nova" in ancient times, but since Carthage itself means "New City" in Punic what was its actual name in Punic?  Some equivalent of "New New City"? PatGallacher (talk) 17:08, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The Internet, and even Wikipedia, are ambivalent on questions of the Punic language. Most authoritative sources, including almost all of the ones on-site in Cartagena, give the original Punic name of the city as Qart-hadast, which is then said to mean "New Carthage". The problem is that numerous (amateur) sources give Qart-hadasht as the name of the city of Carthage itself, and claim it means "New City", in reference to Tyre. There is apparently no actual Punic language expert at hand to resolve the dispute, probably because the language has been absolutely dead for over two millennia, and shows no signs of being picked up by anyone ever. --216.145.71.230 (talk) 10:27, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name in Punic 

message: What is the logic when entering Cartagena in the search box you are re-directed to the disambiguation page? Shouldn't entering Cartagena automatically take you to Cartagena, Spain as it is the original city with the name? There should then be a link for the disambiguation page, sort of like other articles of cities. La Fuzion (K lo K) 14:51, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name 

message: In the description of the flora of Cartagena, this sentence seems to be incorrect:
"There are both European and African species present, especially the Iberian-African starvation only present in the southern coasts of Spain."
Starvation?
I am not a botanist, but I believe that the word starvation is the wrong one to use here.

thread_title:  Error in description 

message: I just changed 'cruiser' to 'cruise ship' then accidently saved the page before finishing my comments.  'Crucero' translates well enough into 'cruiser' but the term 'cruiser' in English suggests something more sinister, like warships, police cars, people just out 'cruising' in their cars.  'Cruise ship', on the other hand, fits well with the rest of the sentence.  Nice article, by the way.  Thanks.Amaling (talk) 23:01, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Answering 

message: I wrote "Prehistory" section in this article some time ago (months). In this section I mentioned the districts of Cartagena where some paleontholocigal sites are locates. Now I am thinking that district references may not be useful or interesting for readers in Wikipedia because they are very specific data of Cartagena. Do you think deleting district mentions is suitable or convenient?
For example:
Currently in the article: There is mention of the presence of individuals belonging to the genus Homo in the cave Cueva Victoria 1,300,000 years ago. This cave is located in the district Rincón de San Ginés
If district mentions are deleted: There is mention of the presence of individuals belonging to the genus Homo in the cave Cueva Victoria 1,300,000 years ago. This cave is located in the south-east of the municipality.

thread_title:  Why Mid importance 

message: The pushpin map gives options of viewing the location in Spain or viewing the location in... Spain. If you compare the article for the city of Murcia it shows the location in either Spain or the province of Murcia. Unfortunately I don't know how to fix it as I don't understand how the pushpin map configuration markup works. I hope someone who does will see this and fix it. If not I may try to have a go at it later when I have time to experiment a bit. DavidConrad (talk) 18:44, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
