the sentence saying that Rijeka means river in English is convoluted. If Rijeka is the word for River in Croat, could the sentence be changed to reflect that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.189.135.87 (talk) 01:09, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Italy's claim
- Italy based her claim on the fact that Italians were the largest single nationality within the city, though they remained a minority. Croats made up most of the remainder, and were also a majority in the surrounding area
This was the previous version, before CJWilly dropped the second clause. I'm wondering, what was the actual proper meaning of the whole thing? Were there <50% of Italians, <50% Croats and a large percentage of others in the city, or were there >50% of Italians in the city? --Joy [shallot] 16:32, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- It sounds to me like it means they are the largest of several minorities (as Bosniaks are the largest minority in Bosnia-Herzegovina. However, in the two D'Annunzio biographies I have available the figure given at the time of his invasion is 30,000 Italians out of a total population of about 50,000.--Mopsy Fairlight 20:03, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Coat of Arms
The previous coat of arm (Rijeka_-_coat.png)shown on this page is the symbol of Coast and Gorski kotar County (http://zeljko-heimer-fame.from.hr/descr/hr-ri.html The real Rijeka's coat of arm is eagle with 2 head http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/hr-ri-ri.html (Contra1)
[edit] Map
The map should be corrected. Rijeka is situated more north-eastwards than it is shown on the map. The city lies exactly at the right side of the angle that the sea makes between Istria and the mainland.
- Well, now it's too north. It should go down 2-3mm, just to reach the coastline.
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Grbri130.gif
Image:Grbri130.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] List of Mayors
Here's the thing "Luigi", can you please provide some kind of source confirming your Mayor list? I'm not saying its necessarily wrong, but I won't take your word for granted. Also, since there are suspicions that you're a sock of the banned irredentist "crusader" User:PIO, I suspect some of these might be italianized versions of Hungarian or Croatian names. --DIREKTOR (TALK) 19:45, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
