Untitled[edit]

The time zone given is Eastern Time Zone (North America) but is that what it's called in Cuba? J ɪ m p 09:18, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's just "Eastern Time Zone"; the "(North America)" in Eastern Time Zone (North America) is used for disambiguation purposes.--Qyd 13:48, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In North America it's just called "Eastern Time Zone" but in Brazil "Eastern Time Zone" means a different thing. So my question is "What do the Cubans call the timezone?" J ɪ m p 16:35, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed edits[edit]

This article would benefit from incorporating material (and balance) from the Spanish language version. Unless there are objections I will put that on my list of proposed contributions.FeatherPluma (talk) 20:50, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Huge mistake regarding origin of province's name![edit]

In the history section is said that New Philippines is because "in homage of King Felipe". This a huge mistake, the name is in regard to the actual Philippine islands in Asia, where most of the first inhabitants came as laborers in tobacco plantations. This information is written on the official history book about the province "Apuntes para una historia de Pinar del Río" (link: https://www.cubanet.org/articulos/apuntes-para-una-historia-de-pinar-del-rio/) which has already been updated time ago on this other article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinar_del_R%C3%ADo_Province — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lezumbalaberenjena (talk • contribs) 16:02, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Tourists[edit]

Is this commonly a vacation city for tourists? Is it safe? Would Havana be a better location? 2603:9000:DF03:C43B:6901:CC51:59F9:B131 (talk) 17:44, 27 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
