Talk:La Madeleine, Paris

message: Current text says, "... Bishop Maurice de Sully seized the synagogue that stood on the site from the Jews of Paris in 1182, and duly consecrated it a Church dedicated to Mary Magdalene."
I see two problems with that: (1) "duly" means Sullly did the right thing, and hence violates historical neutrality. (2) The word "consecrated" makes "dedicated" redundant. Wegesrand (talk) 11:32, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

message: How could Napoleon order the construction of the church in 1764? Was he even born then? This page needs some fixing. I'll try to get to it. -Alex S 01:21, 7 Sep 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: could be a typo for "1804". Needs checking -- Tarquin 09:20, 7 Sep 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: Well spotted. No, Napoleon was not yet born, and the architect was one year old.  The story should now make a bit more sense :) -- Someone else 19:43, 7 Sep 2003 (UTC)
thread_title:  Date Problem (obsolete) 

message: This article seems to be an exact replication of  except for the fact of how many false starts there were. (anon. edit by User:Cory Kohn)
:This article has been built up in increments since September 2003. On 12 January 2004, I made a correction from "Guillaume-Martin Couture, who decided to start anew, razing the old building" to read " Guillaume-Martin Couture, who decided to start anew, razing the incomplete construction"— which is the precise wording now at monument-paris.com. I also changed "what purpose the building might serve in post-Revolutionary France" to "what purpose the building might serve in Revolutionary France" because of the date of the debate: that too now appears at monument-paris.com. The text "To its south lies the Place de la Concorde, and to the east is the Place Vendôme" which also appears in monument-paris.com was added by User:Gabbe on a separate occasion, 17 June 2004. Are Wikipedia editors returning to crib from the very same outside source each time? The article at monument-paris.com is not very like the other chatty touristy articles at that site. Two better sources for the architectural information of La Madeleine are at  and at French Wikipedia. --Wetman 07:29, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for clearing that up. I did a google search and was really surprised to see this. So momument-paris.com is copying ours then?--Cory Kohn 16:16, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Whoa! I just now saw the copyright notice on the article page. So since monument-paris.com most likely took there page from wikipedia, will someone then be clearing up this copyright infringement business and repost the original article?--Cory Kohn 16:27, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps you could de-list it. I don't know the protocol. --Wetman 03:26, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

text: If User:Wetman wants it deleted (he's the only author), he could tag it with , which would mean that it was deleted under G7. I see no particular need for it to stay, though; the history and the content is already merged into the main article. However, there isn't any particular need for the /Temp page to go, either.

replies: text: It's clutter, and that's enough reason for me. Is there anything at all from the temp not integrating into the article? If not, I'm going to prod the temp page. —Mira 17:17, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, folks. It's served its purpose and should be deleted. --Wetman 05:10, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
