message: The precision afforded by the number fourteen makes a very impressive statement. Barcelona, Ausona, Urgel, Ampurdán, Perelada, Besalú, Gerona... are there exactly seven more? If there are, that would make a useful subsection at Catalonia. --Wetman 11:11, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I have reverted almost all Geronas to Girona again. Some people think that catalan shouldn't exists since Catalonia is in Spain.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Iru9k (talk • contribs) 11:11, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This should not be an issue of whether Catalan should or shouldn't exist, and it should not be an issue of preference between the Spanish and Catalan spellings. The spelling should be the most common spelling that English language sources use, although I'd have to check to see which one is more common in English. Kman543210 (talk) 14:04, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  This the English version of Wikipedia not the Catalan one. Despite that, English users looking up Gerona now end up on Girona, people looking up Lerida now end up on Lleida but isn't it curious how people looking up Rome end up on Rome; it has not been changed to Roma by some Italian linguistic fanatic. I am all in favour of Catalan being promoted but some contributors, especially ones who come out with emotive phrases like Some people think that catalan shouldn't exists (sic) go too far and in my opinion it amounts to vandalism when anyone systematically goes through a page erasing every single English or Spanish variant to leave only the Catalan.

message: Recently 217.126.2.180 is adding some external links which imho don't satisfy the conditions of WP:EL. This is not a directory and we must control that the external links section contains just the necessary links.--Xtv - (my talk) - (que dius que què?) 19:10, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Is the spanish spelling correct? I thought that in spanish "g" is always pronounced as in "get".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.165.6.168 (talk) 17:17, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: However, Girona is not a Spanish name, but Catalan. In Catalan, G sounds like "get" before -a, -o, -u,-ue, -ui (like in Spanish), and like "giant" before -e, -i. --Traduim (talk) 19:24, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Re the image of colourful houses in this section, there are many more colourful photos of the exact same view (and some other angles) of the same row of houses, such as this one which is already in Wikimedia Commons: :File:Girona riverside HDR.jpg, or this (possibly copyright) https://www.eltemps.cat/article/9785/bescano-i-girona, which better displays the white house mentioned in the text. Does anyone know, are the latter in realistic colour, in which case one such should replace the image here as more representative, or are they 'photoshopped'?--D Anthony Patriarche (talk) 12:55, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: "Girona riverside HDR.jpg" has obviously been manipulated and I don't think we should use it. A better choice would be the non-manipulated version at  or the one from El Temps, but neither one is licensed in such a way that we can use it. GA-RT-22 (talk) 00:37, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
