Talk:Calpe

Should this article be renamed?

'Calpe' is the Spanish name, 'Calp' is the Valencian. Wikipedia uses the Valencian name, while Lonely Planet uses the Spanish. My Spanish guidebook uses both, with a preference for the Valencian. Regarding our own naming conventions, it is unclear to me if formal policy here is to align our names with English guidebooks, or with English Wikipedia; both are themselves inconsistent. Valencian vs. Spanish is a sensitive topic (see w:Talk:Calp). Thoughts? –StellarD (talk) 09:48, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Like the other Valencian articles, I suggest using Wikipedia spelling for consistency : w:Calp --Andrewssi2 (talk) 09:52, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Note

@StellarD: see words to avoid: "it should be noted that..." -- "NOTE" doesn't add anything here, and it violates Wikivoyage:Capitalization and Wikivoyage:Creating emphasis. Further, we don't put a place between "€" and the price. Please reconsider your revert. Ground Zero (talk) 19:27, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

I see your point regarding capitalization. However the original text did not read 'it should be noted that…', rather it had 'note' followed by a colon. I see this as subjective and a matter of style and preference, not of policy. Furthermore your edit removed the line break, and left no space between the period and following sentence.

I do agree that there should be a space between '€' and the price; however I am not aware of any policy that states that we may not write 'Doubles €69+', instead of 'Doubles from €69'.

As all of these edits were combined into one, I found it simpler to revert than to hunt down individual edits, including those which were not mentioned in your edit summary. I have now removed the caps and extra space as requested. –StellarD (talk) 22:58, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

Sigh. What "words to avoid" says is

it should be noted that...

Go ahead and note it, then.

The point that WTA is making is that you don't have to tell the reader that you are going to tell them something. You can just tell them the thing. "Note:" provides zero information. It is like adding cardboard to your diet - no nutrition, no flavour.

I think that "€69+" looks ugly, but there is no policy on that, so I won't argue about it. "Note", however, is clearly covered by the intent of the policy. Lawyering it by saying that it is not specifically identified is missing the point of the policy. Ground Zero (talk) 00:25, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
