Talk:List of tourist attractions in Paris

text: Disagree: The category should be for ALL attractions that have an article, and this page for the most notable/prominent ones, with a short but useful description that can't be given in a category. The usual difficulty is to find a source or an objective criteria for selecting what goes into this short-list of notables, but difficulty is no reason to destroy a page. My suggestion would be to select 3 prominent tourist/travel sites (from, say, the U.S., Russia, and Japan) and list attractions that feature in at least 2 out of 3 of such lists, or some such criteria. — Komusou talk @ 11:34, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Better as a category?

message: Okay, how to go about this? First off, if it is to become an article, it needs an introduction... perhaps something "Paris and its immediate region has many attractions to offer..." ... but it shouldn't sound like a sales pitch. For the rest of the article, perhaps the attractions could be divided into arrondissements - or areas? - with all of the attractions described in-text (not as a list) if possible... sound reasonable? Any other ideas? THEPROMENADER 07:12, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Please, by all means, go ahead - you're the first new contributor to Paris-based articles since ages, so your work and input is more than welcome (to all of them!). I have little time these days to do more than check up on those articles I have contributed to on my watchlist, but of course I will lend a hand should you need one; all the above sounds like it would be a reasoned definite improvement to both this and the Paris article, so please, go for it!

text: I do have one idea for transforming this into a useful article suitable for reference purposes: dividing its contents into "sections of interest". For the monuments in particular, I would categorise them into eras... Louis XIII-XIV's Porte St. Denis and porte St. Martin for example, just to give them a bit of historical context that may contribute to a more "article" content. I also imagined a section consecrated to talking about "Paris nostalgia" attractions - such as the Lido, Café Procope, etc - so there we can describe the origins of their "visitor value" - again creating context for more "article-like" content, and escarting the need for repetitive explanations ("famous in the 1920's", etc).
