Talk:Cáceres, Spain

Unecyclopedic tone edit

"The best way to savour this unique city… The convents sell delicious homemade sweets and pastries. Wines from Extremadura are… quite delicious if you like full-bodied red wine. Also try and buy some cherry liquor [etc.]" Is this an encyclopedia article or a travel brochure? - Jmabel | Talk 18:58, 18 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

travel brochure

I'm removing the hotel section, I think it was actually written by a hotel chain or travel agency. In either case its unnecessary and sounds like an advertisement.

I've gone through the whole article and fixed some grammar issues. I'm redoing a considerable part of the festivals section because a lot of it is written in spanish. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.7.66.52 (talk) 08:00, 3 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

What is this Fleadh event? Can anyone verify this or find out what it is? It links to a stub that says it occurs in London, not Ireland. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.7.66.52 (talk) 08:08, 3 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

I'm also removing the restaurants section. Its basically just an advertisement for certain restaurants, in addition to being written in an unencyclopedic tone. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.7.66.52 (talk) 08:14, 3 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Education edit

The whole article is poorly written and, as already noted, looks a lot like a travel brochure and not like a proper encyclopedic entry. The section on education was especially poorly written and included some useless information pertaning the organization of education in Spain - which I have removed - and lacked any particular details on the studies one can follow in the Campus of Cáceres (belonging to the University of Extremadura) - which I have added. Still, I'm not sure if there is any need for this section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.33.157.218 (talk) 14:54, 9 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

A map showing where in Spain the City is to be found would be helpful, as well as the transport links by which it is serviced. 217.126.235.179 (talk) 11:00, 24 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

inconsistency edit

Palacio de Carvajal (1th century): There are inconsistency in the article: 1th is not the truth. It may be 1st or it may be 4th, 5th ... It is possible that the number is wrong, or the “th” is wrong. I do not know what of that is wrong or true. It may be a typo of the th or a typo of the number, or it may be vandalism. Please check it. --Diwas (talk) 15:59, 21 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Placename edit

As it has been inserted several times, I wonder the rationale behind adding the alleged Extremaduran-language toponym in the opening statement of this article. Is it some sort of activism? The currently unsourced placename is at best a barely accredited toponym in a language which is not native to the city of Cáceres (that is: an utter-fringe exonym). If you have authoritative sources establishing notability for the placename, for all means propose the insertion of the toponym in the article of the province (where it may at least qualify as an endonym), not here.--Asqueladd (talk) 03:06, 12 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
