Why is this article called as the Spanish name of Calp? The traditional and official name is Calp, and even in the German wikipedia their article is presented as such. "Calpe" is the Spanish translation of the town's name and therefore, nor traditional, official or encyclopedic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.198.255.150 (talk) 13:07, 2 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
Considering that it is a Spanish city, I can not understand why shouldn't we use the Spanish name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.95.246.196 (talk) 14:11, 7 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
It's a sensitive issue because of the political conflict between Spanish and Catalan/Valencian linguistics - see Valencian. In a nutshell Spanish was imposed on the Valencian community during Francoist Spain and there is a reluctance in some quarters to revert the issue now that the various regions in the country are more autonomous.

Calp → Calpe – Town has two official names; article is currently using the official name in the local language (a dialect of Catalan). I propose a move to Calpe, being the name used in the national language, Castilian. This is likely to be controversial because there is a degree of political activism promoting the use of the local language in this region, but in English-language sources, the national name is much more widely used, hence it should be the name used in English wikipedia. This should possibly also be considered as a test case for a variety of other articles about towns in this area, including Xàbia, Sant Joan d'Alacant and potentially others. I note that Alicante is already named in Castilian (the local name is Alacant). Google books results: local name national name. JulesH (talk) 09:19, 18 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
The error message at the top of the page - "Failed to render property P373: Unknown data value type "bad" has no associated DataValue class" appears to be something to do with the interwikilink to commons. Anyone know how to fix this? Mighty Antar (talk) 16:40, 27 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
