[edit] Links

Some of these links have nothing to do with Santiago. And can someone explain why it is called Santiago de los Caballeros? (St. James of the Knights, (Lords, Gentlement, etc)

Este no es el verdadero Santiago! Mi Santiago de los Caballeros es colorido y de mucha gente caminando por las calles...presenten ese lado!!!(Maribel, Maryland,USA)

Well actually we are working on this is just the fact that we bearly have people giving importance to this article...little by little we working towards that!EdwinCasadoBaez 05:29, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Bravo, we got User:MJCdetroit to activate a nice "City Infobox ". Now how about a section on Culture: Music, Monuments, Festivals, Carnaval, Theatres and Night life and maybe a section om Architecture now that there is as I understand, some pretty impressive homes and neighbourhoods, and also images of the city filled with people.

[edit] Santiago..

Guys on this article you can see that one of the users added to much of detailed information about Restaurants,Museums,and all of that!!should we erase the restaurant section or keep it there?isn't a sort of propaganda & advertising for this places???what should i do...i see this article as having to much info but that this info is not significant to what santiago really is!please lets reach consensus within 3 days or i'll guess i'll delete it later!:)EdwinCasadoBaez 04:52, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

i decided i will not remove info about the bridge or church but instead i will place a section of Architecture to satisfy does that like the info of the cathedral of santiago and the hermanos patino bridge!i will add more info about the old and modern santiago architecture as time progresses!EdwinCasadoBaez 04:54, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
Edwin, I think that the restaurant information can be eliminated. In my opinion, business information should only be kept if there are only a few of those in the city and they have a certain relevance (like the Centro Español and Gurabito Country Club, Industria de Tabaco León Jiménez or the Hotel Mercedes). I haven't removed that information because I don't have time right now to organize it properly. We also have to take care of the "citation needed" tags that our "friend" the ip address 64 has added to the article. Take care and I'll try to colaborate a little bit more often on the DR and Santiago articles from now on.
Also, I redid some significant editing to the article trying to make it a little bit less tourist guide like. That's something else we need to work on and the history section. Dominican 16:47, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Major Changes

The Santiago de los Caballeros article is undergoing major changes by my editings!Right now theres a lot of stuff missing to be included in the article and am searching for info in books and in other HTML pages in the internet!Please, other users be patient by my changes as everything will eventually look well!EdwinCasadoBaez 02:39, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] HOMS, hotels, sites of recreation, etc

I think that to dedicate a whole section to HOMS, a private project, is too much. What is needed is information about the health system in Santiago, not on a single private future project. I will eliminate it if no extra, meaningul information is added. The same regarding hotels; what is the reason of including hotels? And what about private clubs? And there is so much important information missing. --Pepemar2 (talk) 21:26, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] HOMS Advertisement

I have deleted half of the relative textin regards to HOMS. It is clearly posted with the purpose of advertisement. It has been removed and I will monitor the page to ensure it remains neutral.Kcuello (talk) 13:55, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sites Of Interest

This subtitle needs some upgrades. There were three hotel's listed. As hotel's are not sites of interest (Unless there is a huge amount of history and international interest ex. Waldorf Astoria etc.) I have removed the three hotels. Kcuello (talk) 14:01, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sister Cities

It appears that someone is twinning Santiago and Santo Domingo... the very definition of a sister city excludes this and cosenquently I will remove the Santo Domingo twin tag. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.161.65.185 (talk) 05:11, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
