[edit] Also the name of a Turkish musical instrument

"Tulum (bagpipe) is a Turkish folk instrument of the wind type. It consists of three parts with Deri Kısmı (leather section), Nav and Ağızlık (mouth piece). The air is stored in the leather section and is let into the nav section by pressing the bag under the arm. Nav is the part where the melody is played. It also has two parts called Analık and Dillik. Ağızlık is the section which sends the air to the leather bag of the pipe.

Tulum is used in Turkey at Trabzon, Rize, Erzurum, Kars, Northern and Eastern Anatolian regions and at the Thrace region. Tulum, which is generally made from lamb or kid skin, is called Gayda in Thrace" . —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.96.42.178 (talk • contribs) 18 January 2006. (Note: It is also a quote taken directly from this website).

Thanks for noting an alternate use for the name "Tulum", anon contributor. I shall create a new article Tulum (instrument) for it (in original phrasing, of course), and note the disambiguation here.--cjllw | TALK 11:25, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

ok, Tulum (bagpipe) and Tulum (disambiguation) are now set up.--cjllw | TALK 06:19, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Town versus site?

Has there been thought in separating the entry for the town from the entry for the ruins. I've seen a number of internal links that are clearly meant to be for the municipality, that instead are directed here.

This might not have been a problem five years ago. I remember visiting in the late 90s and the town was miniscule. Went back in Dec 2006 and it's a good sized town and a destination of its own...

Perhaps "Tulum (Pueblo)" or "Tulum (town)" should be created, while this get's re-named "Tulum (ruins)" or "Tulum (historical site)"?

Would love to hear feedback on this. T L Miles 15:43, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

If there is enough information for a seperate article about the town, spinning one off seems fine to me. I'd leave the ruins at "Tulum" as it is more famous, and the town developed and got its name from the ruins. -- Infrogmation 17:45, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

on closer inspection there's already a stub called Tulum (city). When I get some time I'll try to flesh it out using what you have here for the city, and change the variety of links in wikipedia that are clearly aimed at the municipality to that (or else the disambiguation, which I updated).

Solidaridad, Quintana_Roo and Quintana Roo would be examples that are really meant for the municipality. T L Miles 20:07, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Separation of Tulum (precolumbian site) and Tulum Pueblo

I've undone the recently performed merge of material on the pre-Columbian site (from this Tulum article) into the article (Tulum, Quintana Roo) on the modern township.

These two are physically and historically distinct entities, and there's no need (indeed would be undesirable) to combine them into a single article. The two can of course cross-reference each other, but this article Tulum should be left to describe the pre-Columbian site, with Tulum, Quintana Roo describing the modern settlement, also known as 'Tulum Pueblo'. --cjllw ʘ TALK 04:07, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
