This page (and some other Wikipedias, but hardly anyone else) states that "Rēzekne received Magdeburg rights from Poland in the 17th century." Others (e.g. the Polish Wikipedia!) say that city rights were given only in 1773, by the Russians. Is there a source for the first claim? And in which year these Magdeburg rights are supposed to be given? Fransvannes 07:31, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

I did some minor editing but this article needs a lot of work. A lot of it appears to have been written by someone for whom English is not a first language. Some parts are actually unencyclopedic and reads more like something from a travel brochure. __ 209.179.36.56 ( talk) 21:15, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
The criteria for adding alternate names to the lead is that they should either be used by at least 10% of English sources or used by people who live or used to live in the city in question. This seems to be an established practice in Wikipedia. As Russians today are a plurality or close of that of the population of Rezekne, this means that the Russian name should be added to the lead section. Alternatively, the alternate names can be placed in a separate section, leaving only the Latvian name in the lead. Kostja ( talk) 05:16, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

Wouldn't it be better to replace https://web.archive.org/web/20090106221427/http://rezekne.latviasig.org/jewish_rezekne6.htm Rezekne after World War I with https://kehilalinks.jewishgen.org/Ludza/Rezekne/histories/Rezekne/History_AfterWWI.html (or https://kehilalinks.jewishgen.org/rezekne/pdf/History-of-Rezekne-by-Esther-Rechtschafner.pdf)or http://archive.is/M98WU or https://kehilalinks.jewishgen.org/rezekne/jewish-rezekne-esther.php History of Jewish Rēzekne indicating it's part of https://kehilalinks.jewishgen.org/rezekne/jewish-rezekne-esther.php History of Jewish Rēzekne by Esther Rechtschafner?
