Splitting[edit]

There are several places called Sancti-Spíritus, and this article seems to describe at least two of them. http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sancti-Spíritus is a disambiguation. This article should be split. Punkmorten 12:59, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. -- Beardo 06:42, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In fact most of the article is about the Cuban province, which already has its own page. What is needed is a page for the Cuban city.

Also - both are sprelt without the hyphen. How does one cancel the redirect ?

-- Beardo 14:31, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I could cancel that for you. But tell me: Where is the article about the Cuban province?

Some sentences in this article seems malplaced, such as: Trinidad: The best-preserved colonial city in Cuba, in the shadow of the Escambray mountains, Trinidad was not even linked by road to the rest of the country until the 1950s. Could someone familiar with the subject weed out such sentences please? Punkmorten 21:57, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sancti Spíritus Province

Trinidad, Cuba has its own page.

We need a page for the Cuban city Sancti Spíritus.

-- Beardo 02:45, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Punkmorten 10:00, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks.

Taking out "Trinidad was founded by Diego Velázquez de Cuéllar. Two blocks south from the town's main square the Parroquial Mayor is located, a venerable yellow towered church whose early 16th-century origins make it the country's oldest. Nearby is the Museo de Arte Colonial." doesn't leave a lot !

-- Beardo 23:43, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hm. Although the above sentence mentions Trinidad, it is describing Sancti Spíritus. I must have made a mix-up. I made the necessary change and reinstated the sentence :) Punkmorten 05:50, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I thought those sentences were about Trinidad, not Sancti Spiritus. Not sure if yellow-towered is right. Were both Trinidad and Sancti Spiritus founded at the same time ?

Recent changes[edit]

I've reverted a lot of work done here by an IP editor, 70.160.125.46, and I'd like to explain why. The additions were not done using good English language - which I would be happy to fix up, except that when you claim "famous for onions", "busiest sea port", "famous in the country" - these kind of claims need to have reliable sources where someone can check to see if this is true. Preferably these would be in English language, although there are lots of Spanish speakers here too, who would be able to verify the claims.

Also, plain links to pictures on other websites are not allowed, if you have a picture which can be used freely, please upload it onto Wikipedia itself.

70.160, you did a lot of work here to improve this article, maybe there is a way you could put your suggestions here so we can make them work? Or maybe you can make your changes one at a time so we can all be sure it fits with the way Wikipedia works? I'm sorry that I just removed all your work, please keep helping out so that we can make this a good article! Franamax (talk) 07:38, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
