This article contains a translation of Jerez de la Frontera from es.wikipedia. |
A lot of the current "Jewish History" section sounds just like it's quoting verbatim, probably from the Jewish Encyclopedia mentioned in the References section. Shouldn't the text be quote-marked and the source referenced in place? I found it disturbing to read unattributed text that sounded like whole copied paragraphs. Peter 01:54, 6 October 2006 (UTC) Oct 5, 2006
Several paragraphs which were word-for-word reproduction of text appearing on this Hotel website have been removed. Text first inserted Sep 2005 here. Although it's only copywriting (in the advertorial sense of that word), there's no good reason to include it in wikipedia. The rest of the article is a bit of a mess at present, will also add a cleanup tag.-- cjllw | TALK 15:05, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
When you search for Xeres, the Persian King should come up, not a city in spain. Or they both should come up with you having the option to choose one.
Actually, it's "Xerxes", not "Xeres". :3 - Bajjer ^ this is true — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.35.218.187 ( talk) 12:57, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
This fact can be consulted at the embassy of Japan in Spain web site: http://www.es.emb-japan.go.jp/relaciones_hermanadas.htm
Why is it that this article has two thousand words about the Jewish quarter of Jerez and two sentences about sherry?? The Jewish section even includes a lengthy roster of individuals who lived there, fully two-thirds of them inconsequential, at least from a global perspective. Some of this material makes most trivia seem highly significant by comparison. Until sherry gets as much coverage here as the Jewish quarter does, this article is seriously out-of-balance. PeterHuntington 10:38, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
I agree. The bulk of the section on the Jewish quarter is rather irrelevant. They also lack references. I suggest this story be excised from the article and written into a new article. The Jews of Jerez de la Frontrera perhaps? Comorros ( talk) 22:28, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
Are you sure about the Greeks calling the city "Shiraz"? I've read a lot of different versions of the city's name over the years, but never "Shiraz." I thought the Greeks also used the Phoenician name, "Xera." Hashashin 14:57, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your input - not sure I agree with your assumptions on the value of researching via the internet, although you are putting some useful information into the article. Keep up the good work - perhaps the people who used this "Evolution of the word" should have the errors of their ways pointed out. → friedfish 09:49, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
I included an External Link pointing to www.travellady.com/Issues/January07/3888ThreeSpain.htm "Three-Dimensional Spain", a travel story focusing on the three complementing characteristics of Jerez.

Hello Jerez Editors! The link I want you to consider, goes like this:
I look forward to your decision......... Scribbleman 06:47, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
Hello again Jerez Editors! It seems I was too quick when inserting the link myself. Perhaps you speculate whether there is something commercial in this for me - not at all! Below is a link design that others go for:
Terje Raa (January 2007) www.travellady.com/Issues/January07/3888ThreeSpain.htm "Three-Dimensional Spain" Article about Jerez on travellady.com Scribbleman 10:36, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
Still no response from the Jerez Editors, so I inserted the actual link myself, trusting they will keep it awhile to see how it works. Scribbleman ( talk) 09:45, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
I seem to recall the the locals pronouncing the name 'huh-RETH', but I can't find a reference. LorenzoB ( talk) 15:28, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
The word "Xeres" is not common in English discourse, and i don't object to the Rdr at
Xeres to the accompanying article on the city. Still, the late-Victorian light opera
The Gondoliers, in portraying in English the interaction (in Venice) of Venetians and Spanish royalty, flourished the word once or twice per verse in a principals-and-chorus
song (#15) that is also reprised at the finale, and i think it has enuf prominence, both from the bottle's label and the work being still enthusiastically performed after 122 years, that a {{
Redirect}} HatNote-Dab, linking to
Sherry, is called for.
