There should be ethnic statistics from before Estonian independence, as Narva, in my understanding anyway, was a predominantly Slavic city for quite a long period of time. - Crocodilicus — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.62.63.6 (talk • contribs) 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Russian equivalent
Should we give it? On the one hand, Estonian is the sole official language. On the other, some 90% of inhabitants speak and think of Нарва, not Narva. Thoughts? Biruitorul 07:43, 25 October 2006 (UTC)


 * The claim that Narva had a Russian majority before WW2 is incorrect. According to 1934 census the share of ethnic Russians in the then city of Narva (including both today's Narva and Ivangorod) was 29.7%. --3 Löwi 19:56, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

The HIV epidemic in Narva should be mentioned. 10% of the city's youth are infected with HIV. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.137.148.230 (talk) 13:47, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

American English
has moved the "American English" tag from the talk page to the main article with a hidden message that this needs to be checked by a "language expert". The article is indeed written using American spellings such as "favorable", "center" and "defenses". If there are no objections I propose to restore the tag to its more usual site on the talk page.
