The opening paragraph says the city has 1 million people (source from a tourist guide), but the infobox says it has 683K people. Hypertall (talk) 16:06, 8 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
The following text was moved from the article page. It should be written in an encyclopedic style before being inserted into the article. olivier 22:51, Apr 26, 2004 (UTC)
Algeria ceased to be an Ottoman vassal in 1710 and, even before, never was more than a vassal state.
The "Ottoman Empire" here is to be replaced by the Beylik of Algiers. Alexander Ganse, WHKMLA (www.zum.de/whkmla).
On a site about Algerian music there is this quote: "...the music developed in the city centers of Orania, mainly Oran..." Maybe this refers to the province Oran.
The only wikipedia article on "Orania" is about S Africa. Is there a need for disambiguation?
West Algeria was called Orania, and Oran was capital of Orania.
This page needs to be re-written, in correct English. The hodge-podge here is a mix of English, French, and computer-generated translation from French to English.
Being, like most of our readers, illiterate in Arabic, a transliteration of the Arabic name would be appreciated. I believe the Arabic for Oran is Ammi-Moussa, but I'd be very hesitant to add that to the article without confirmation from someone who can confirm. -- Jmabel | Talk 01:32, 4 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
Yes The Arabic word for'''Oran'''is'''Wahran'''. And Ammi-MoussaisUncle Moses.
I think it is an inappropriate comment to talk about whether the British were prepared to go alone against Nazi Germany, in this section. This is about a city, and not political/historical opinion.
This is the text:
"In July 1940, the British Royal Navy shelled French warships in the port after they refused to respond to a British ultimatum designed to ensure they would not fall into German hands. The action sealed the hatred of Vichy France for Britain but convinced the world, especially the United States, of the British will to fight on alone against Nazi Germany and its allies."
The result of the proposal was a Move -- Ganeshk (talk) 22:36, 16 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.It looks like this is a machine translation of the french article, like the article about Algiers. I think it should be reverted to this [1] revision, or any similair revision, until we get a "human translation"? --escondites 22:51, 2 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
