I have edited the article erasing two references that,IMHO, were wrong
- Jewish festival marginally celebrated: I was born and breed in Murcia and never ever heard about any Jewish community or festival there. Of course, maybe some jewish people live in Murcia and celebrate their festivals, but no more than any other community. As an exemple, Im sure that St.Patricks day is much more celebrated in Murcia by Irish community
- Civil War suffering: Of course all of Spain suffered greatly during Civil War, but it is difficult to maintain that there were any special suffering in Murcia. On the contrary, Murcia was not at any moment during the war, near to the front line. In fact it was always in the heart of the republican controlled area and it was taken by the nationalist troops the day before the end of the war when all resistence had ceased
I was born and bred (not breed). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.38.17.233 (talk) 17:30, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] External Link
I added a link to www.bootsnall.com/articles/06-09/a-handful-of-spanish-towns-elche-orihuela-murcia-cartagena-and-alicante-spain.html "A Handful of Spanish Towns" It's a travel story covering Elche, Orihuela, Murcia, Cartagena and Alicante.

- Is that link really needed? It is a very short story, in a page full of adds. Does it add something that could not be otherwise included in the article? Remember that Wikipedia is not a collection of links, people can use Google to find links like that. --Anna Lincoln 09:53, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
Yes, the piece about Murcia is short, but that's the idea: snapshots of five neighboring towns. The link needed? Not if you see Murcia as a place alone in space - but maybe needed if you accept that your article will also be studied by tourists, for whom my link could serve as a brief introduction and a mutual reminder that each of those towns has also interesting neighbors. The link does not add cool facts, but tries to broaden the view. You write about a page "full of ads". Well, that's part of getting one's message out, isn't it? Shall we drop the link?

- External links policy on Advertising and conflicts of interest states You should avoid linking to a website that you own, maintain or represent, and in this case, you are Terje Raa[1] . Unfortunately your conflict of interest editing involves contributing to Wikipedia in order to promote yourself and your articles. Such a conflict is strongly discouraged. Your contributions to wikipedia under Scribbleman consist entirely of promoting Terje Raa / bootsnall.com / travellady.com and is considered WP:Spam. Looking through your contributions as a whole, the all seem to be Terje Raa/bootsnall.com/travellady.com related only. Please do not continue adding links to your own websites to Wikipedia. It has become apparent that your account are only being used for spamming inappropriate external links and for self-promotion. Wikipedia is NOT a "repository of links" or a "vehicle for advertising" and persistent spammers will have their websites blacklisted. Any further spamming may result in your account and/or your IP address being blocked from editing Wikipedia. Avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines. You're here to improve Wikipedia -- not just to promote yourself, right? --Hu12 13:55, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
Probably when tourists worldwide think about visiting a place called murcia they google it and wikipedia is in the top aspot thanks to great editos like yourself. What they read here must must must be FACTS not falsehoods. However there are facts that although not big are facts and would attract tourism money jobs to our city. Your job is not to MARKET murcia ,thats mine!! comunidadjudia murcia es mi responsibilidad I know youll never allow anything false nor unimportant .Youre the judge and that means your opinion your view is what counts. If you never heard of it it can still enter here if well documented.Proof is the word!
Wkipedia is the window on our city and you are the window cleaner. We are the little stickers that one puts on a window so that nobody runs into it when the glass is very clean.. Please consider this. Murcia will hold its head high by telling the facts.But facts that are attractive might be given a place here as long as they are facts.
thank you for your support raquel samper comunidadjudia murcia —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.38.17.233 (talk) 22:19, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
