Should mention about attempts of various individuals and organizations to make this independent. Do not discuss in detail but mention and perhaps link to ETA or the like. --Daniel C. Boyer 20:16, 14 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Have added some data from article in catalan, as requested in wikipedia:Translation_into_English. I haven't translated everything because the catalan article is actually based on a recent translation from Spanish, and I think that both the catalan or spanish articles need some improvement, specially since this can easily be a controversial topic.

I have listed the names of the territories in basque. I don't know English translations, except for Navarre (Nafarroa in basque). At least for Araba, Bizkaia, Gipuzkoa, there are spanish translations (Alava, Vizcaya Guipuzcoa), which are probably used more often.

Xevi.

Well, for what it's worth, I completed the translation of the Catalan/Spanish material, with a little fleshing out to make it clearer to an English-speaking audience:


"The term Euskal Herria is controversial, used primarily by relatively extreme Basque nationalists, especially those associated with ETA."

This sentence is absolutly false (an insult for thousands of people). This is like to say that only Kurdish terrorist speak about "kurdistan" Llull 20:07, 20 Apr 2004 (UTC)

The external link points to clearly biased and politically motivated material, and is consequently inappropriate as it stands.
