The famous racetrack of Francorchamps is not located in the city of Spa. Since 1977 Francorchamps has been merged with Stavelot. A village named Blanchimont never existed.

Spa is located in Belgium and not in Hungary, the large lake probably has gone astray.

Geographical precisions

I'm living in Liège, not far from Spa.

The circuit is not indeed part of Spa, but Stavelot. The 2 cities are separated by the Malchamps Hill. The circuit is about 10 kilometers far from the city. The airport is part of Spa.
The springs are not hot, only cold with iron and carbonic gaz (see fr:Pouhon)
The city is also famous because casinos are born here at the end of the XVIIIth century : "La Redoute" and the "Vauxhall" (see for example Kubrick's Barry Lyndon). A lot of famous personnalities came here for the springs : Tsar Pierre the Great, Marguerite de Valois (Queen Margot), Vaclav Havel, Victor Hugo, ...
there is indeed a lake in Spa, the "Lac de Warfaz". The river of the city is called the "Wayai". Flowing into the river "fr:Hoëgne", then the river "fr:Vesdre", the river "Ourthe", the river "Meuse", and North Sea.

Page Move

This move is suggested since spa is a common English word and those uses don't fit into the current article. In fact the different uses of the word spa likely means spa would become a disambiguation page to get individuals to the desired entry.Vegaswikian

If further byspels of the older townnames for "Spa" are needed let me know. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:21B:D600:226:8FF:FEDC:FD74 (talk) 11:02, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

None of those links confirm your edit, the sources state that some people named a new place in accordance to Spa in Belgium or that the word Spa (and not the city) is spelled Spa or spaw. You are twisting references in order to find a justification for a word that is neither right, used, nor pertinent.--Gabriel HM (talk) 02:06, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"The ban Spa..." ?

It misreads: "The ban Spa, was created around 1335 and included two urban concentrations, "vilhe of Creppe" and "vilhe" Spas, 2 kilometres (1.2 miles) away." Haps the aforeshown is a spelling mistake for "urban" or somesuch? Furthermore, a citation is needed at the ended of the hereinabove sentence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.104.149.179 (talk) 20:52, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dubious twin cities

An IP user added a handful of twin cities to the list here (and other city pages). I see no sources to validate them and I'm wondering if these changes need to be reverted. Does anyone have any indication that these changes are valid? Coastside (talk) 15:55, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
