I was recently travelling in Positano, and while I was there I took a day trip to Capri. Both on the trip over and while in Capri it was my impression that there were a lot of poeple getting to Capri from Positano. It seemed like that was a really common thing for people visiting Positano to take a day trip to Capri. So, I thought it would be worth mentioning in the Capri article that it's a common thing for people to get there from Positano. What do others think about adding this comment to this article? solaro 17:25, 11 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

If you're going to include boat service from Positano, you should also include boat service from Amalfi, Ischia, and Salerno. I don't see the point of including all of them. Wikipedia is not a tour guide -- though pointing to tour guides wouldn't be out of place. --Macrakis 21:09, 11 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

What does one call people from Capri? Capriani?

There is an obvious error in this section: In the latter half of the 19th century, Capri became a popular resort for European artists, writers and other celebrities. John Singer Sargent and Frank Hyde are among the prominent artists who stayed on the island around the late 1870s

Clicking on the link to Frank Hyde takes you to the English Rugby player, born in the early 1900s. There is no Wikipedia page for the British artist of the same name.

I have requested a citation for the statement that fishermen´s sons were ´´usually available´´ - I also question the relevance of including Peyrefitte´s fiction as a source for speculation about local people´s opinions. Saying that this fiction was ´´carefully researched´´ is merely POV and does not substantiate it as truth. Unless there is strong justification for the relevance of these passages, I will edit them accordingly. They seem out of place in the context of the article. --Smerus 17:36, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The municipality of Capri does not comprehend the whole of the island of Capri, I suggest it to be spun off. --Cruccone 16:48, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OUAT I read something to the effect that the common (mis)pronunciation of "Capri" with the stress on the second syllable comes from a popular song, which stresses it this way to fit the rhythm. Can anybody tell me which song this is? -- Smjg 00:55, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The wording sounds a bit off. Can someone change it?
