Would the domain be available for anglophone cat lovers? 85.226.122.237 20:19, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
- That's specifically forbidden. --217.76.158.230 21:59, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
- Alright, interesting to know... 85.226.122.205 21:04, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Gibraltar
"Spain claims sovereignty over the Gibraltar, and is not enthusiatic about this, since it might be seen as a sort of endorsement to legitimacy of Gibraltar to exist the way it is."
Doesn't GB claim sovereignty over Gibraltar? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Filthy swine (talk • contribs) 05:34, 3 May 2006 (UTC).
- Yes, or so says Wikipaedia. Possibly they meant Great Britain rather than Spain? I'm not sure of the current state of affairs concerning that, so I wouldn't really know... I'll change it, revert if necessary/incorrect... --Laogeodritt 15:13, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

- Sorry. I'm the guy who originally wrote the stuff about Girona's website. I meant that Spain asks for/demands/begs/however-you-name-it (depending on your ideological point of view) the sovereignty over Gibraltar. Sure, "claim" wasn't the appropiate verb to use, since it can be understood as "it has legal ownernishp over Gibraltar", which is of course untrue. Maybe I should have written "The Spanish State, which unsuccessfully claims the sovereignty over the Rock (...)". I thought that was implicit, but it obviously wasn't. I beg you'll all pardon me for the confusion I might have created. --80.32.95.147 18:43, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
- PS: Wow, this went all the way to the Nederlandse versie and the Polish one of the article! Sorry I can't speak Polish. At least I'll warn the nl: one...

[edit] Precedent
This domain sets a precedent which could lead to a flood of claims for domain names for all manner of proposed states, secessionist regions, micronations, autonomous zones and disputed territories. If Catalonia gets its own domain then why not Kurdistan, Transnistria, Chechnya, Euskadi (Basque), Puerto Rico or Sealand —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.113.64.28 (talk • contribs) 21:27, 7 May 2006 (UTC).
- So, it is wrong to have domain names such as .gi or .hk then? .cat is a cultural, not geographical domain. What would be controvesial is the propossed bid for a .ct domain (which the spanish goverment explicity opposes).Thewikipedian 09:57, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
Yes, why not? Is there any problem with that? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.2.198.89 (talk • contribs) 17:57, 9 June 2006 (UTC).
So what? Wikipedia is not a forum (WP:NOT#FORUM).--Galifardeu 13:01, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
