Talk:Banlieue

message: I found the translation to American English "the projects" useful, but rather than "the hood," would it be more sensible to say "the ghetto/barrio"? Otherwise this is an excellent and very helpful article. --SRR, December 2008
I've never heard anything like "langue de banlieue". It just looks like bad translation to me. --Kubrick 908 17:57, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I don't understand why this article is in NPOV dispute. Exactly what part of the article is disputed? And can anyone briefly outline what the two or more differing views might be? Thanks. Squashy 13:55, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  NPOV dispute? 

message: A suburb in the UK is simply an outer area of a metropolis. It doesn't have anything like the connotation it does in the States. Most suburbs of London for instance are not low density and are not readily categorised by class. Many have "good" and "bad" ends. The places that are cognate with American suburbs are generally considered to be separate towns, and we'd often call them "dormitory towns". Grace Note (talk) 02:57, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Suburbs in Britain

message: Every bit of the article that discusses the connotations of the word "suburbs" in "English", or rather the US, the UK, Australia and so forth as opposed to the connotations of the word banlieue in France is not sourced at all. This includes text that I edited and of course all the changes I made.
Perhaps, this aspect of the article would seem "obvious", but "obviously" it isn't. Reading the talk section above, it seems that this material was primarily written by US residents, who assumed, apparently in mistake, that was is true for the US is true for the rest of the Anglo-Saxon world.
I've tried to tone this down, but that in no way means that this does not need references. 
Otherwise I'm afraid that most, if not all of this, is probably Original Research and could even arguably be taken to violate the Neutral Point of View policy.
I doubt anyone will be inclined to devote time to fix this (I'm not), but I thought I should at least point it out by a tag in the article and these few sentences here

message: In 1896 the citizenry of Paris proper tried to ensure that the Paris would not run proposed metrolines into the suburbs out of fear of "safety". elle vécut heureuse à jamais (be free) 10:20, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
