- Dear Misplaced Pages user. Kindly check accurate sources prior to making this kind of comments. While the Spanish constitution does not establish an official name for the state of Spain and some others are commonly used in it. While the origin of the word might be uncertain, the hypothesis of the Phoenician word "Land of rabbits" Spania is commonly accepted. Dual2402 (talk) 08:22, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hello. We, following the guidelines of WP:COMMONNAME, go by what places are most commonly called, not what someone reasons out they should be called. Largoplazo (talk) 12:24, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- Lads, you took the bait. Look where the IP is from. Look at what happened between Spain and that place on 28 May 2024. WP:DENY. Unknown Temptation (talk) 21:33, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
- @User:Unknown Temptation How do I look where the IP is from? Uporządnicki (talk) 02:20, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- Is there a reason you felt the need to be cryptic instead of just saying that the IP is from Israel and it was the day that Spain recognized Palestine? Largoplazo (talk) 12:17, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

Request to add a new wiki subsection titled
Main article: Mass media in Spainunder Spain#Culture.
42.60.108.206 (talk) 12:00, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- I kind of think this is summed up by the reference to Culture of Spain and unneeded, I also think that there's no clear section heading to add it under, but I'll leave this open if someone disagrees. Bestagon ⬡ 17:28, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
Not done: I agree with Bestagon. The quality of the Mass media in Spain article is pretty low, and there's not much it has to offer compared to what Culture of Spain already has. Mz7 (talk) 01:07, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

Major metropolitan areas in Spain are Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and SevillaCite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page)., but Zaragoza isn't. So, you must change Zaragoza to Seville

Origns of the name of Spain
The idea that this name means Land of Rabbits is ludicrous and has no bases in the etymology and travel of language. The original name of the city of Isfahan or Esphanhan in Iran was originally Sepana and since the Mithriac traditions were so prevalent in that region it affords and validates to view the origin of this name from that perspective. We know from documented evidence that various cities is Spain were established by the Goths and the Alans, notably Catalonia which as GothAlania, a group of the Iranian people known as Sakas (later to be called Saxons) and these interactions were cultural, religious and linguistic. The issue seems to be that the origins of names do not go further than certain geographical areas and tend to attempt to restrict the etymology within certain geographic boundaries. This is a skewed view and unreliable as it excludes the etymology to elsewhere other than it's nearest point. Konradbertam (talk) 00:40, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- Are there reliable sources that support any of your claims? Are you taking into account that the Phoenicians were referring to the area as Spaniya many centuries before the arrival of the Goths and Alans and possibly before the name "Isfahan" came into use in what is now Iran? As for what you find ludicrous, why? There are clearly plenty of researchers who don't find it ludicrous. Largoplazo (talk) 01:56, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- "A group of the Iranian people known as Sakas (later to be called Saxons)"? You must be joking. Utter nonsense. I have corrected the information per the given source, and added info from Developmental Biology in Hispania (Spain & Portugal) by Juan Arechaga, published by the International Journal of Developmental Biology. Also, as I stated in my edit summary, we should not be citing journalistic content from a news site for etymological info, but rather the experts quoted in the news article.
