The article references 5 BCE but the link goes to 5BC, which unless I am mistaken, are not the same thing. --Lucky13pjn 21:49, Jul 4, 2004 (UTC)
- It references 5th Century BCE rather than 5 BCE. BCE is the same as BC - see BCE Ian Cairns 22:27, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)
--- i did fond this :"Founded by Carthaginian colonists in the early 5th century BCE)" may i see more source about this fact ?Aziri 10:31, 5 Jul 2004 (UTC)
This says that Morocco was the first nation to recognize the United States. I thought the first country to recognize the US was Dubrovnik. - Montrealais

[edit] tangier to tarifa
does anyone know of any yacht charter companies that would allow me to hire a boat from either tarifa or tangier?

[edit] Who calls Tangier, Tangiers?
It is mainly some British who use the word for Tangiers. This is NOT correct. Whoever uses it is not using what even most British residents in Tangier (the correct spelling) use. If it is a past historical spelling, that's ok. But the generally and most common spelling of the city is Tangier, WITHOUT an s on the end. This is what should be used. Most of the world is not British, and the generally accepted spelling is Tangier worldwide.
I suggest people mistake Algiers for Tangiers because the names are slightly similar and it seems a bit odd to name a capital city after a country or the other way around, so you think you've remembered it wrongly, although in fact it's done quite often, particualrly for small states. So a claimed 2005 quote from the Wall Street Journal apparently slips on Algiers at http://pppue.undp.org/downloads/PPPUE%20Newsletter%20Issue%2044.doc (put it through Google)

- That's just your opinion! see http://www.answers.com/topic/tangier-tangiers. Both ways of spelling are correct - it really depends on the common spelling that people use.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.176.146.43 (talk • contribs).
[edit] missing history
this article meeds current info, like current demographics. It also needs info on religions other than than Catholic--like Muslims live there. Thanks Hmains 19:35, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the note. I am trying to do my best. Just bisy w/ other stuff for now. -- Szvest 22:14, 9 October 2006 (UTC) Wiki me up ®
I tightened up the history section - just style edits. I wonder though whether all that matierla about the Catholic church in Tangier is of interest to anyojne - it's a Muslim city, the Muslim connection is much more interesting. PiCo 07:17, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
- Good job on the overall PiCo. I agree w/ you though some mentions about Christianity should stay but let's wait a bit to see other people's comments. -- Szvest - Wiki me up ® 14:27, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Music
I've removed the reference to Led Zeppelin's song Tangerine. The reference that the word tangerine comes from Tangier was unsourced, not to mention that the fact is completely useless and pointless. Let's not list all media with eponymous words. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Stottpie (talk • contribs) 23:15, 12 March 2007 (UTC).
