[edit] whose presence included United States military forces
I removed this line, because it is of no particular interest to mention a certain country when talking about the UN. Or else we could just as well have mentioned Sweden or any other country participating in the UN.
[edit] James Joyce
I have added a little more info on what Joyce was doing in Pula. I also took out the statement that he wrote in Pula, because without knowing what he wrote, it isn't particularly noteworthy ... one imagines that Joyce was writing all the time. Can we find out what he was working on while he was in Pula, and then we can add it back into the article. — Stumps 09:05, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Pula" in Romanian
It would be more civilized to use the word Pola, instead of Pula. Knowing that "pula" is a swearword in Romanian, meaning the male genitalia, I consider the use of the world, even if reffering to one city name, as very offensive. It is a common fun among the Romanian tourists to take funny photos near the city hall..... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.34.208.11 (talk • contribs) 16:36, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
- ??? The name of the city I live in is Pula, so IT IS civilized to use the name the city has. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.131.207.133 (talk • contribs) 08:28, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
- Pula is by definition a very nasty and obscene word and wikipedia is not a place for obscene display ! Please change the name of the article and use "Pola" instead of "P..a". How anyone can say that it is a "civilized" name ? Shame on you !!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.196.150.157 (talk • contribs) 11:43, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

- It is very arrogant and near-sighted of you guys if you think we are going to change the English Wikipedia name from English to Italian because it happens to be a swear-word in some language. There are probably a lot of other articles that are insults in some of the myriad languages of the world. --DIREKTOR (TALK) 12:15, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Population
Are those birth and mortality rates correct? Surely if they are, then there is positive natural increase in Pula or am I misreading the information? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.154.180.162 (talk • contribs) 06:51, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
- The percentage is probably supposed to be the other way around (mortality 1.7, and birth 1.1). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.172.59.175 (talk • contribs) 12:44, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Article Quality
I think that the article requires a bit of cleaning up, as some of the info is old (eg. Transport - Ryanair, the first flight has already happened). When I find some free time, I'll probably look it up. Also, the official Pula homepage (www.pula.hr) has some great info that isn't included in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.172.59.175 (talk • contribs) 12:48, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] ...or maybe not.
"Human remains, dating back to 1 million years B.C...." Or maybe not. This is the kind of zany statement that keeps people from editing here. Can we get a fix on this "fact"? --Wetman (talk) 07:30, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
