Talk:Aquitaine

message: Aquitaine is currently one of the regions of France. Possibly, it was also the name of one of the provinces of France. Guyenne was a province. Thus, it is not correct to equate Aquitaine-region and Guyenne, although Aquitaine-province and Guyenne might be, but I am not sure about the latter. - User:Olivier

message: has anyone looked into the possibility of using image mapping to make the regional maps interactive? that way, someone could click on a region and it would bring them to the article about that region. it seems like the logical step because many people might not know the name of the region they want to find, just the general location. this would improve these sub-country pages a lot, i think.
*Something else that would be nice is if we could take maps and "zoom out" from them so we can see where the place is in the world. AThousandYoung 08:48, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

message: In the play-by-post game Medieval Diplomacy II, which, in the beginning, is set in approximately the year 1320, Aquitaine's leader is by default Duke John I. I cannot figure out who this guy is supposed to be. Does anyone know? Or did the game's creator simply make up the name or make a mistake or something? AThousandYoung 08:44, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I noticed the page states that the city of Pau is in Aquitaine. Correct me if I am wrong but Pau is the capital of the old province of Béarn which is/was never part either of Guyenne or, more importantly, is not even a part of the Région of Aquitaine?

message: I was just thinking that this sentence here may require clarification:
Education, with universities at Pau and Bordeaux, which has over 80,000 students
Is that 80,000 students at Pau university, 80,000 students at Bordeaux university, or 80,000 combined total? It certainly confused me for a while... Thirsty Ferret 19:07, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

message: The statement "Aquitaine was quite thoroughly Romanized in its culture, unlike northern Gaul." was deleted with the summary non-sequitur " Aquitaine wasn't particularly Romanised - hence the survival of Basques". Someone else may want to struggle with this deleter with Attitude. --Wetman (talk) 14:47, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Not me, at least not right now - but neither statement is particularly accurate. A few other notes: 'akwa is deemed a Proto-World word (for water), so pinning the etymology of any tribe with that as part of its name into any much later linguistic formation (like Latin or Basque) is pointless and really beyond the scope of this article. It should state that the people called themselves Aquitanes (be nice to know how they pronounced it), and who in the whole world knows that a "real Celt" is (especially as opposed to...Gallic Iberians?)  Much work to be done here.  There are references, someone interested in the history of Europe or France could have a lot of fun improving this article.--LeValley 04:44, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
