Etymology[edit]

I think that the sentence mentioning "za breg" should be removed, as it's not a likely origin of the name, since "breg" originally had the meaning of "(river) bank". In my personal opinion the most likely origin is "za grabom", i.e. "behind the moat", which denotes a fortified town. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BerislavLopac (talk • contribs) 07:46, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agram[edit]

Agramer, please read Wikipedia:Bold, revert, discuss. It is expected from you to start discussing after your addition was reverted.

On what basis do you insist on adding completely irrelevant list of names to the lead section? WP:NCGN#General guidelines says that

Relevant foreign language names (one used by at least 10% of sources in the English language or is used by a group of people which used to inhabit this geographical place) are permitted.

German article for this city is located at de:Zagreb, not at de:Agram. Italians have never lived in Zagreb. Hungarians haven't lived in significant figures in last 100 years or so. Those are not official names of the city. They are not mentioned in contemporary English sources. You might mention them in the article text somewhere, but not in the lead section. WP:LEAD should summarize most important aspects of the article contents, not to overwhelm the English-speaking reader with a list of irrelevant foreign names. As for other cities that might do the similar, see WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS. If you need models, Belgrade and Sarajevo are featured articles, and they do not list historic names in the lead. No such user (talk) 09:08, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I for one agree that cramming the intro with foreign names is largely pointless when they're tangentially relevant. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 14:53, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Isn't Agram just a historic name/out of use? Er-vet-en (say) 15:57, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Is this article encyclopedic?[edit]

I see a lot of statistics that hardly have any sense to be seen here: demographics, climate, bridges(!), settlement. Then a lot of information that goes into a tourist guide.

Etymology should take no more than sentence or two. Here it's a whole section.--Juraj Budak (talk) 01:26, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox collage[edit]

File:Zagreb collage.png
Current collage
Illustration of possible improvement

<sarcasm>
The current collage only contains 11 photos (if my math serves me well). Of those, I can almost see what is in three (although can hardly deduce where it is), so those should be further divided into smaller pieces. It can be further improved by dividing the image into still smaller sections, by adding more photos from the article body. I found an illustration how it would look like in the end (hell, you could just crop the title of that lower image and spare yourself an effort, it is equally useful).

History[edit]

There seems to be a whole portion of Zagreb as the second largest city in Yugoslavia. Based on the article it looks like apparently nothing happened in Zagreb between 1945 and 1991? I know the breakup of Yugoslavia must have been traumatic, but there's no mention of the post-war development of Zagreb as key cultural center of Yugoslavia, the animation school, theaters, science development etc, that should find it's place in a comprehensive article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.122.13.78 (talk) 17:55, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Zagreb[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Zagreb's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "normals":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 17:30, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

When[edit]

Under Events, "most recently" does not provide a time frame. Also, as the list of artists may or may not be kept up to date, it could become out of date. It would be better to provide a time range between which the listed appearances happened. For example, "in 2016" (if that is indeed the time frame).

History - missing and misleading information[edit]

The whole history of Zagreb since 1945 is described as:

During the period of former Yugoslavia, Zagreb remained an important economic centre of the country, and was the second largest city. After Croatia declared independence from Yugoslavia, Zagreb was proclaimed its capital.[43]

Not only is this very poor description of the 80 years of history in which Zagreb turned from a provincial town into a major metropolis, it's also wrong. Zagreb was also the capital of Croatia while it was a part of Yugoslavia, nobody needed to proclaim it as such in 1991. Zocky | picture popups 14:25, 11 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
