Talk:Kvarner Gulf

Article name

ChrisO, why gulf and not bay?

Also note that whichever we pick in the end, the choice needs to be followed by an update of the numerous redirects, cf. Special:Whatlinkshere/Kvarner Gulf. --Joy [shallot] 14:39, 22 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest, I've never heard of it called "bay" before in English. Every English-language map I've seen has called it the "Kvarner Gulf" or "Gulf of Kvarner". I've also checked this with a number of encyclopedias and they all call it a gulf. I assume this is because the English version of the name is probably taken from the Italian Golfo del Quarnero. The "bay" name I guess is a literal translation of the Croatian word zaljev. -- ChrisO 22:01, 22 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I'll go along. I've updated the redirects. --Joy [shallot] 12:24, 25 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The map is unfortunately inaccurate because it doesn't actually include much of the Kvarner gulf, it's cut off too much at the left. --Joy [shallot] 21:57, 22 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It's also way out of date, as it displays Rijeka much smaller than it is and it fails to display many highways (Rupa-Rijeka, Zagreb-Šestanovac, Istrian Y, Rijeka urban bypass, etc.) Admiral Norton ^(talk) 19:57, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
