How can Kuressaare be the capital of an island? I think it's only the capital of [[Saare County]]. [[User:PeepP|PeepP]] 12:15, July 11, 2005 (UTC) |

I find it weird that the article states town has a Russian name '''Kingissepa'''. This was the name of the town both in Estonian and Russian during Soviet era, but there is no Russian-language related etymology of this name. This is no more than a surname of an Estonian communist, afther whom the town was renamed. I would suggest the Russian name removed at all.[[User:Avellano|Avellano]] ([[User talk:Avellano|talk]]) 06:45, 13 October 2009 (UTC) |
