Talk:Plaza de Toros de Ronda

Untitled

This text and illustrations would turn the broaderencyclopedia article, which is Bullring, into the start of something excellent. Just a suggestion. --Wetman 6 July 2005 06:13 (UTC)

Move

I believe that this article should be moved to Plaza de toros de Ronda, the full name of the ring itself, and the name of the corresponding article in the Spanish Wikipedia. "Plaza de toros" just means "bullfighting ring" ring in Spanish. Although Ronda's ring is no doubt famous, I still don't think it merits distinction as THE bullfighting ring. I would like to see the Plaza de Toros page made a redirect to bullring (or vice versa), and that main article expanded and given links to noteworthy rings just as it at es:Plaza de toros. I would of course be willing to do the translation. - Draeco 18:59, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Translating from Spanish

If anyone wants a project, there is a lot of material in the Spanish article that could be translated and incorporated into this one.  LinguistAtLarge  05:36, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Suggestions for improving this article

Here are some suggestions for improving this article, in addition to general expansion. Anyone can help with this if they want, and I will probably be back to work on these items.

• History section - Talk about the construction process, construction material, architect José Martin de Aldehuela [1] who also designed the Puente Nuevo, and architectural style.
• Add a section for the Real Maestranza de Caballería de Ronda [2] [3], an equestrian and bullfighting(?) school that owns(?) the bullring and operates a museum. (See also Maestranza de caballería).
• Expand the museum section with more information - the collection of guns it has for example [4].
• Add a section about the Corrida goyesca de Ronda [5].
• Add a historic building infobox.
