Discrepancy between Wiki entries linked from other sites

If you look at this link: http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Sitges you will notice that the last paragraph is the exact opposite of what is presented directly on the Wikipedia site for Sitges. Which is correct? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.90.164.0 (talk) 05:13, 20 March 2007 (UTC).

Gay destination

I'm surprised there's no mention of it being a top international destination for gay travellers and it having a big gay population. Gay tourism is a key factor in the local economy.Gymnophoria (talk) 15:44, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

I also think that this is rather a strange omission. Would anyone care to add something about this, and about the historical reasons for this?Jimjamjak (talk) 10:35, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

It used to be there. Probably unilaterally deleted. Needs to be restored. Chienlit (talk) 15:48, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

I have reverted the previous deletion by a url. but added a caveat that it needs sourcing. Will somebuddy please add a ref. Chienlit (talk) 15:56, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Sitges does not mean "silos"

I would like to point at the fact that Sitges does not, in any way, mean "silos". The fact is that the name of the village comes from medieval Latin, appearing for the first time as 'Cigis'. Thus, the etimology of the name of the village has nothing to do with "silos". I removed the false etimology from the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.231.173.72 (talk) 15:42, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

Too much tourism oriented

I think this article looks too much like an entry in a travellers guide and should be rethinked, as almost all sections are related to that. The only one not about yearly events or tourism information is the one about history, which is sparse and includes blatant errors like in the last line, which says that Miquel Forns is the 5th mayor of Sitges. This is impossible for a village already existing in the Roman era. The general tone is quite flippant, as when the article says that the village "was known as Ibiza in miniature" for which it offers no references or when it says that it "has been referred to as the Saint Tropez of Spain", with a link to a company blog about real estate that made this statement out of the blue and is quite irrelevant. This is one of the rare cases in which the English article is inferior to both Spanish and Catalan versions and should be reworked, which I would do in the next few days.

Chess tournament

Sitges also hosts a fairly notable chess tournament, the Sunway Sitges International Chess Festival, which should probably be included in the article --jonas (talk) 05:25, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
