I think the entire large paragraph about temperature under the climate section is extremely lacking in references or citations. It seems like a biased personal account, and not a very accurate one I might add. Homerkp ( talk) 19:19, 22 May 2011 (UTC) (Homerkp]) 21:20, 22 May 2011.
Limassol, Cyprus is much warmer for average and max. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.140.102.34 ( talk) 14:15, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
Málaga is not the warmest because Almería or Sevilla which are also on Europe and even on mainland Europe are warmer, as they're also warmer than Heraklion and Limassol. Limassol it doesn't even count here as it's further south close to the middle east in the hottest basin of the Mediterranean, and still doesn't have enough temps to surpass Almería. 1991-2005 average is warmer but a climate average is not maded by 14 years, is maded by 30-31 years... -- TechnicianGB ( talk) 20:15, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
Cyprus isn´t in Europe and even though it´s not «much» warmer. It´s also much further south and on an island... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.37.171.168 ( talk) 11:56, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
why are there two disambig pages?
what?
Removed tons of commercial links on links section.
Added two famous births - does anyone know any other births/ citation for those I put (I'm not sure if citating to another wikipedia article will be enough)
Can someone please add the writer Antonio Soler to this list? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:347B:5230:55E8:DED:D742:9599 ( talk) 16:36, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
It would be nice to see more about the character of the city - what sort of tourists does it attract, is it more of a city of culture or of drunken British tourists? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Amh15 ( talk • contribs) 08:48, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, the link should be www.guide-to-malaga.co.uk —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.240.4.219 ( talk) 15:53, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
Would it be useful to add a link to my guide to Malaga: Footsteps through the City of Malaga: see www.guide-to-malag.co.uk I have a commercial interest in this, but the guide does explain the attractions of Malaga to people who want to see a real Spanish city.

Hello Malaga Editors! The actual link that I wish you to consider, goes like this:
There is nothing commercial in this for me. I look forward to your decision.......... Scribbleman 11:08, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
Another design has been suggested, this one:

There has been no input from the Malaga community, so I took the liberty to insert the actual link, hoping they will give it a chance and see how it works. Scribbleman ( talk) 12:10, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm not totally sure that Málaga is at New Zealand. Maybe it's the famous continental drift. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.134.140.67 ( talk) 21:39, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
I have taken out the table of links to bus timetables for this article and for Nerja. They don't belong here, as we are neither a directory or a travel guide. They are more suited to Wikitravel.-- Dmol ( talk) 22:21, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Local repression by the Francoist military dictatorship was perhaps the harshest of the civil war, with an estimated 17,000–20,000? what the number in modern history? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.41.3.21 ( talk) 08:21, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
The mean maximum or minimum (average record high or low) is the average highest and lowest temperatures to be observed in a particular month or year, not simply the highest and lowest average maximums and minimums. Therefore this data cannot be in the same weather box, to avoid confusion. Ever since this data had been added I have been confused looking at the mean maximums, as it would indicate to me that the highest temperature of the year is 33.0°C on average, until I finally worked out this was not the case. Therefore the data is in a seperate box, it is not simply to my liking it is the only correct way to keep it on with the functions that wikipedia currently has.
The record highs and lows should be the highest and lowest temperatures since the weather station began operation. There is no link to the extremes that other editors are claiming, only the official source which says 30.0°C record high in February. It does not matter that the weather station is moved, the extremes aren't going to be that different within the same city. What other weather boxes do not use the full length of the extreme period, the rules say it should be of the longest length possible?-- 10 December 2017 ( talk) 13:46, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
More on the Phoenicians and the strategy they were employing w/r/t forts at the mouths of Iberian rivers at this source. — LlywelynII 07:19, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
First the original Phoenician name is given as Malakah. From the West Semitic root MLK, this might be linked to any of several meanings like king, queen, property, realm, kingdom, etc. In the next sentence the article derives the same name from the Semitic root MLḤ meaning salt, providing a plausible reason for naming a city after salt.
The point is that Semitic roots don't switch around like that. Semitic roots are distinguished by their sequence of three consonants, each of which remains stable throughout the many transformations of the root into different words, and Ḥ is a completely different root letter from K—Hebrew ח and כ, Arabic ح and ك. (Arabic weak verbs, in which certain letters are unstable, do not apply in this case. The Hebrew merger of ח and כ to the same sound /x/ or [χ] is of historically recent development, so at the time of the founding of Málaga they used the ancient pronunciations of Phoenician and Hebrew, where the two phonemes are distinct: /ħ/ and /k/.)
It would be great for the article if this discrepancy has been resolved. If it hasn't, at least the article needs to indicate that the two roots are different and that a discrepancy exists. As it is now, it makes it look like the slide of /ħ/ > /k/ was unremarkable. Which doesn't happen in languages, historically. The article should note that there are two different proposed etymol[o]gies for Málaga. Johanna-Hypatia ( talk) 17:11, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
The Spanish word "facultad" doesn't mean faculty. "Facultad" means "school" or "college," in the sense used here, "college of science" or "school of engineering." This doesn't just mean faculty, but also students and the class programs. It should be changed to "college" or "school." — Preceding unsigned comment added by UnpythonicProgrammer ( talk • contribs) 15:20, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
