== Disambiguation ==

Sopot should redirect to the disambiguation page. This article should be called Sopot, Poland. [[User:Krum Stanoev|Krum Stanoev]] 12:46, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

== Sopot = Zoppot == 

Sopot is pronounced Zoppot {{IPAc-pl|AUD|Pl-Sopot.ogg|'|s|o|p|o|t}}
Wikipedia gives wrong pronounciation in German }}{{Audlisten|Zoppot.ogg}}; if it was pronounced as WIKIPEDIA FALSELY CLAIMS it would be spelled SOPATT.

In Polish it's promoumcet with an "s" as in "save". [[User:Space Cadet|Space Cadet]] ([[User talk:Space Cadet|talk]]) 12:06, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

==Town or city?==
The first paragraph claims that it is a "town"; the second paragraph claims that it is a "city". City and town have different definitions; it cannot be both at the same time. What is its current status? [[User:Werdnawerdna|Werdnawerdna]] ([[User talk:Werdnawerdna|talk]]) 13:09, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
*There's no formal distinction in Poland. I prefer to call it a city, since it has [[powiat]] status, but that's just a personal rule of thumb. (It's the same in most non-English speaking countries - there are not usually separate concepts equivalent to city and town.)--[[User:Kotniski|Kotniski]] ([[User talk:Kotniski|talk]]) 13:28, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

==Longest Pier in [Continental] Europe?==
i know its not a "who's got the biggest pier contest", but the article repreatedly refers to the Molo as being the longest pier in Europe - a quick glance at the [[southend Pier]] page would suggest this isnt the case  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/217.155.188.44|217.155.188.44]] ([[User talk:217.155.188.44|talk]]) 13:35, 24 March 2009 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Etymology ==

Does the origin of the name 'Zoppot' really meant 'stream'? The German Wikipedia states, it meant: 'beneath the hill'. [[Special:Contributions/84.191.243.14|84.191.243.14]] ([[User talk:84.191.243.14|talk]]) 08:43, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
:The "stream" explanation seems more likely from a linguistic point of view (I can't think how anything like Sopot comes to mean "beneath the hill" in a Slavic language, and German WP says the word is of Slavic origin). When I get to the library I'll look it up in a toponymic dictionary.--[[User:Kotniski|Kotniski]] ([[User talk:Kotniski|talk]]) 05:52, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

::Just another thought: maybe the name is not of Slavic origin, but Baltic? I really don't know.  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/84.191.240.102|84.191.240.102]] ([[User talk:84.191.240.102|talk]]) 13:02, 5 July 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:::Well, a bit late, but I checked in a Polish etymological dictionary and it says the word comes from a Slavic word meaning spring or stream. I also realize that in Croatian "under" is ''ispod'', which might mean that "sopot" sounds like or was a word for "under" in some past Slavic tongue, which is what the theory from German WP may have been inspired by, but I can't find any source for that theory.--[[User:Kotniski|Kotniski]] ([[User talk:Kotniski|talk]]) 16:32, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
