[edit] Paella

There's a mistake in the "did you know" section. According to the paella article, the name comes from Latin, not from Arabic.--Micru 11:54, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Grammatical Error?

Is the 'an European' part in the first box grammatically correct? You don't really hear people overpronouncing the 'an', so I'm pretty sure it's 'a', despite the vowel. I'm changing it, but if it was correct, feel free to revert it back. Amina 03:32, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

What vowel? European doesn't start with a vowel (it starts with a IPA: /j/): a European. Jimp 09:11, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proposal to merge Prehistoric Spain with Prehistoric Portugal & move to Prehistoric Iberia

Currently, the text of Prehistoric Spain seems really to be about prehistoric Iberia. Similarly, the text of Prehistoric Portugal seems really to be about the same thing. This would be perfectly understandable seeing as there was no Spain and no Portugal in prehistoric times. I have argued therefore that it would be best to have these articles merged under a title which indicates the geographical region rather than the modern states. I have proposed the articles be merged and moved to Prehistoric Iberia. Please come and discuss my proposal. Jimp 09:12, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello Jim. If the merge goes through, what shall we do with Pre-Roman Portugal? You see, Prehistoric Spain encompasses a period that the "Portuguese" articles differentiated into Prehistoric Portugal and Pre-Roman Portugal. Should we merge them all? The Ogre 13:48, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
